My apologies for not being clear. Do these clamps make a difference in terms of reducing leakage of smoke (aka make a tighter fit)? Just wondering the primary purpose of the clamp mod? Sorry for the dumb question
Go to covermates on Amazon. This cover has a very strong elastic band at the bottom. Survived recent tornado and tropical storm. Great price, well constructed and works perfectly.
The covers are IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. If you do, snatch immediately. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0186IZSWW/?tag=TVWB-20
I use this, it works great and the price/quality & fit (while NOT perfect) do the trick.
That is an amazing price. You can find cedar Weber handles on Esty and other sites. The fire pit will last you a life time. My kids use it all the time, For the life of me, I can't understand why Weber discontinued this perfectly made product. Enjoy!
If I didn't have one already I would drive the 90 minutes each way to buy this gem! Somebody is going to get a fantastic deal. I would play double!
