Title: Cover
Post by: Ross77 on January 13, 2018, 08:54:08 AM: What is everyone using for a regular cover?

I've been using this one for the last year and it's been solid. The large size fits the RT-680 well. Only issue is lack of flexibility in extreme cold temps.

Amazon has a $5 off coupon on it now.

Post by: cookingjnj on January 13, 2018, 10:05:01 AM: I have the Rec Tec cover designed for the 680. It has worked well for me so far. Like you mentioned, it does become stiff in the winter cold weather, so when I take it off I keep it inside so it is pliable when putting it back on.

Sure is priced right. Where does the smoke stack go? Through the cut out slot?

Post by: Bar-B-Lew on January 16, 2018, 07:09:33 PM: I have the same cover but different color. Never had an issue, but I don't use anymore since I keep them in my extra garage during the winter.

Post by: Soldier17 on January 30, 2018, 01:43:22 PM: Do you notice any condensation on the grill when removing the cover?

Post by: Ross77 on January 30, 2018, 01:51:04 PM: No but I think the seam in the back is starting to leak as Iâ€™ve seen water sitting on top of the pellet hopper. That was after it had ice/snow on it then melted in the sun.

Post by: Th3Batman86 on January 30, 2018, 04:39:56 PM: Hmm I wonder if one of the larger sizes will accommodate the smoker box.

Post by: lamrith on January 30, 2018, 05:57:10 PM: That is the large size? Awesome! I just got a Bullseye so my 680 will see less daily use and even though on a patio I think I want to throw a cover over it.
