The Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800 cover is specifically designed to protect the Gravity Series 800 Digital Charcoal Griddle + Grill + Smoker when it is not in use. It is an ideal choice both for those buying the barbecue and wishing to protect it from day one, and for those who already own a Gravity 800 and are looking for a cover tailored to this model.
It is built to withstand outdoor conditions and provide hassle-free, day-to-day protection. The custom fit over the barbecue eliminates the need for a generic cover and incorporates various features designed to better withstand environmental exposure and continuous use.
Water-resistant material
The cover utilises a PVC-polyester construction designed for outdoor use. Masterbuilt specifies a robust, water-resistant material for this model – an important feature when the barbecue is left set up on a terrace, patio or outdoor kitchen area.
This durability helps to shield the Gravity Series 800 from direct exposure to rain and other weather conditions whilst it is covered. It is not simply a matter of hiding the barbecue: the aim is to minimise its exposure when it is left unused for hours or days at a time.
The cover also retains a shape tailored to the Gravity Series 800 as a whole, so protection is distributed across the body and sides of the barbecue without the need for a universal cover.
Double-stitched seams to prevent leaks
The seams of a cover are particularly vulnerable to wear and tear and to water ingress. That is why Masterbuilt uses double stitching on this cover, which is clearly visible on the outer finish.
The double stitching is designed to strengthen the seams and help prevent leaks. This is particularly useful for a cover that is frequently put on and taken off, as the seams bear some of the strain generated during these operations.
This reinforcement complements the waterproof material itself and ensures that protection does not depend solely on the fabric, but also on how its seams are constructed.
UV additives
When a barbecue is left outdoors, exposure to the sun also affects its cover. The material used by Masterbuilt incorporates UV additives designed to reduce the fading caused by this continuous exposure.
This treatment is particularly beneficial on terraces and patios where the Gravity Series 800 cannot always be kept in the shade. It helps the cover itself withstand the test of time better and retain its finish for longer.
UV protection thus complements the cover’s water resistance: it is designed to withstand both outdoor damp and the usual sun exposure typical of an outdoor barbecue area.
Adjustable drawstring
The bottom features an adjustable drawstring that allows you to tighten the cover once it is fitted over the Gravity Series 800. This system helps the cover stay in place rather than simply resting on top of the barbecue.
This adjustment is particularly useful when the barbecue is permanently installed outdoors and the cover may be subject to movement caused by weather conditions. Simply position it correctly and adjust the bottom drawstring.
As well as improving the secure fit, this fastening system allows you to make the most of the cover’s specific design around the Gravity Series 800 unit.
Tear-resistant PVC inner lining
The inner side features an additional PVC lining. Masterbuilt has incorporated this specifically to help prevent tears when the cover is slid over the barbecue during fitting or removal.
This internal reinforcement is important in day-to-day use because it is precisely when putting the cover on and taking it off that the material may rub against different parts of the barbecue. The lining adds a layer of protection to that contact surface.
The design thus combines an outer layer built to withstand the elements with an inner layer designed to better withstand the routine actions of covering and uncovering the Gravity Series 800.
