After finally parting with my decades-surviving Genesis Silver, I finally replaced her with an E330 (copper). Got it put together last night, and have a couple questions.
1 - The manual recommends performing a gas leak test before use. I've never done this before (and maybe I'm a moron for skipping this!). Is this something everyone here does?
2 - I've gone back-and-forth on the cover/no-cover debate, but at this point I think I want to cover. I live in Iowa, so its humid summer, snowy winter, and my Genesis will be outside (no garage/shed room) with no overhead protection. I've had Weber covers in the past that seem to break down and crack after a season or two. Thankfully found the Classic Accessories covers thanks to the forum, but am deciding between the Veranda and the Hickory. Any experience with the difference between the two?
