    Grill Cover, trap humidity and cause rust/corrosion?

    I've rebuilt 5 Weber gas grills this year from 7 to 20 years old. Three were over 15. Grills rust out not from covers trapping humidity but from the use of poor materials. Weber makes their fireboxs from cast aluminum & lids from porceloin coated steel. It's the materials not the care.
