If you remove the elastic from the WSMs storage cover it'll slide on/off in a snap

Not if you turn it inside out and get a little bottle of the $3.00 Coleman/Ozark Trail seam sealer. I did all my covers this fall and not a drip gets in. If you go over it 3X like I did, 1 bottle should cover your 18 WSM and most of a performer.

The cover is way too small for the 22.5" and doesn't come close to covering the majority of the entire length, poor design and someone should after-market. I need one for my Ranch also.

It is snowing here now and i was out shoveling and decicded to look in the uncovered wsm and saw my 14 hour smoke worth of ashes frozen into a solid block of ice. I decided to go out back and flipped over the bottom peice and dropped it a couple times, it all came out in one solid mass. I don't think it has ever been so clean. and I just threw the chunk into the alley. no ashy mess. Yay winter! I need to cook something now

Yea Chuck..and, to prevent leaks.....a trash bag can go on the WSM first, followed by the weber cover
I rarely include the trash bag...forcast rain or a long absence

I have an extra cover for my 22" OTG. I use the cover that came with my smoker (18"), and then throw the 22" cover on top. With both covers (and being sure to close the top vent), I haven't had a water problem.
"But here's my question: why is that nice cover the WSm comes with so @#$#@ tight? Why not have one that slips on easily rather than one that fits like jeans on a teenage girl and is just as much a struggle to get on?"
Hah! or getting them off when I was a frisky teenage boy.....maybe it was because I wasnt near as 'hot' as I thought I was!
Anyway, my WSM stays outside, I turn the mid-section upside down, cover with a heavy garbage bag and then the cover. It takes a little time (especially since I have handles on the mid-section) but I never have issues with water getting in the bottom.
