Best Coleman Grill Cover: 8 Options for Gas, Charcoal, Pellet, and Portable Grills

A cover is the cheapest way to protect a grill you paid hundreds for. Rain, sun, pollen, and snow all do slow damage to burners, paint, and hoses. Picking the best Coleman grill cover comes down to one thing: fit.

Coleman makes covers for several lines, and they are not interchangeable. A cover for a Cookout 3-burner will sag on a 5-burner, and a RoadTrip cover is far too small for either. This guide walks through eight Coleman options, who each one suits, and how to match a cover to your grill’s model number.

Quick Answer

Top pick: Coleman Zip2Fit, an expandable cover listed for Even Heat and Revolution 3- and 4-burner grills. Budget pick: the Coleman Cookout 3- and 4-burner cover. Upgrade pick: the Coleman Pro Series cover for 5-burner grills. Always confirm your grill’s model number before buying.

The Best Coleman Grill Cover Options, Reviewed

1. Coleman Zip2Fit All-Weather BBQ Cover: Top Pick

Who it’s for: Owners of Coleman Even Heat and Revolution 3- or 4-burner grills who want one cover that adapts to both sizes.

This is the best Coleman grill cover for most gas grill owners because it expands. A zipper lets the cover grow to fit either a 3- or 4-burner body. It also has the longest compatibility list I found, covering many G52xxx and G53xxx model numbers.

Key features:

• Zipper expansion for a closer fitHook-and-loop straps to hold it in wind
• Fade-protected, all-season fabric

Pros:

• Works across several burner counts
• Wide model compatibility
• Straps keep it from lifting

Cons:

• Priciest of the 3-4 burner options
• Reviewers disagree on rain performance, with one calling it not waterproof and another reporting good results in heavy rain 

2. Coleman Cookout 3- and 4-Burner Cover: Budget Pick

Who it’s for: Cookout owners who want solid protection without paying for extras.

The Cookout cover is built for the Cookout 3- and 4-burner grills. It expands from 50 to 54 inches (127-137 cm) in length. One listing gives the size as 54 x 23 x 43 inches (137 x 58 x 109 cm).

Key features:

• Heavy-duty polyester 
• Two ventilated handles for lifting it off
• Oversized hook-and-loop straps
• Listed weight of about 3 lb (1.4 kg) and a 2-year limited warranty 

Pros:

• Lower price than the Zip2Fit
• Vented handles make it easy to remove
• Straps resist wind

Cons:

• Narrower expansion range than the Zip2Fit
• Not meant for 5-burner grills

Common Mistake: Buying by burner count alone. A “4-burner” from one Coleman line can be a different size than a “4-burner” from another. Match the model number, not the burner count.

3. Coleman Revolution Series CTA-1800 Cover

Who it’s for: Revolution owners who want a plain, lower-cost cover with venting.

This one is listed for 3- and 4-burner grills, at 24.5 in (62 cm) wide, 45 in (114 cm) tall, and 54.5-58.5 in (138-149 cm) deep . Built-in vent flaps help cut down condensation and mildew. Its description reads a lot like the Cookout cover, so confirm which one your model needs.

Pros:

• Vent flaps reduce trapped moisture
• Lower price
• Fits 3- and 4-burner grills

Cons:

• Specs overlap with other Coleman covers, which makes shopping confusing
• Plain fabric listing with few details 

4. Coleman Pro Series Cover: Upgrade Pick

Who it’s for: Owners of the Pro Series 5-burner and anyone with a large grill.

The Pro Series cover measures 68 in L x 24.5 in W x 45 in H (173 x 62 x 114 cm) . It is custom fit for the Pro Series 5-burner. The retailer also says it works on other brands up to 68 inches wide.

Pros:

• Room for big grills
• Can serve non-Coleman grills of similar size
• Reviewers mention a clean fit and good rain runoff

Cons:

• Most expensive in the lineup
• Too large for a 3-burner, since loose fabric flaps and traps water

5. Coleman Cookout Charcoal Kettle Cover

Who it’s for: Owners of Coleman Cookout charcoal kettles.

This round cover is listed at 25 in (63.5 cm) across and 40 in (101.6 cm) tall. It fits most kettles from 18 to 22 inches (46-56 cm) in diameter. An elastic hem and a hook-and-loop strap hold it on.

Pros:

• Simple, round fit for kettles
• Elastic hem grips the lid and bowl

Cons:

• One retailer lists it as discontinued, so availability is a question 
• Not suited to square gas grills

6. Coleman Cookout Pellet Grill Cover

Who it’s for: People who own a Coleman pellet grill.

Listings describe an all-weather, heavy-duty polyester cover made for Coleman pellet grills. I could not find size or strap details, so mark those . Pellet grills need a good cover because pellets absorb moisture and swell, which can jam an auger.

If you are still choosing a pellet grill, see our guide to the best pellet grills for beginners.

Pros:

• Made for pellet grill shapes
• Heavy-duty polyester

Cons:

• Limited published specs
• Model fit is unclear, so check before ordering

7. Coleman Cookout 36-Inch Griddle Station Cover

Who it’s for: Owners of the Coleman Cookout 36 in (91 cm) Griddle Station.

A griddle top rusts fast if it stays wet, so a proper cover matters even more here than on a grill. This is a weather-resistant polyester cover made for that station. It is not a general-purpose cover.

Pros:

• Made for the 36 in griddle shape
• Weatherproof fabric

Cons:

• Fits one product
• Few published specs 

Pitmaster Tip: Wipe your griddle top and rub on a thin coat of oil before covering it for winter. Covers keep rain off, but they can’t stop moisture that’s already trapped under them.

8. Coleman RoadTrip and NXT Covers (Portable Grills)

Who it’s for: Tailgaters and campers with a RoadTrip or NXT portable propane grill.

The Coleman NXT RoadTrip cover is listed for NXT 100, 200, and 300 models and RoadTrip 9941, 9944, 9949, and 9949A series. It is described as 600-denier fabric with adjustable straps. Some retailers list it as discontinued or sold out, so stock varies .

There is also a RoadTrip Stand Up Grill Case made of PVC-coated polyester. It fits over the wheels, has a top handle, and uses a zipper and tie-down straps. It is listed for RT LX, 225 S/U, and 285 models, at roughly 65-92 .

Budget alternative: Third-party covers made for RoadTrip grills sell for about 12-18 . They are not Coleman-made, so check the stated size against your grill’s measurements.

Pros:

• Cheap protection for portable grills
• Stand-up case lets you roll the grill with the cover on
• Adjustable straps

Cons:

• Official covers are hard to find in some stores
• Third-party covers have inconsistent sizing

How to Choose the Right Coleman Grill Cover

Follow this checklist before you buy.

1. Find your model number. It is on a sticker, usually on the back panel or inside a cabinet door. Write it down, or take a photo.
2. Match the product line. Cookout, Revolution, Even Heat, Pro Series, and RoadTrip are different sizes. Fit lists are by model number.
3. Measure the grill. Measure with the lid closed and the side shelves in their normal position. Include the side burner lid and any handle.
4. Check the expansion range. Expandable covers help if you’re between sizes, but only within their stated limits.
5. Look for vents. Vent flaps or ventilated handles let moist air out, which cuts down mildew.
6. Check the straps. Hook-and-loop straps or buckles matter in wind.
7. Decide on water resistance. Most listings say “weather-resistant,” not “waterproof.” Plan on a dry-ish cover, not a sealed bag.
8. Check warranty and availability. One listing mentions a 2-year limited warranty , and some covers are discontinued.

If your grill has a side burner, make sure the cover clears it. Our explainer on what a side burner is used for shows what that part is and where it sits.

Waterproof vs water-resistant

Many people hear “waterproof” and assume nothing gets through. In practice, covers shed rain but can wick moisture at seams, especially in long storms. Covers with PVC linings or sealed seams do better, but they trap more humidity too.

Common Mistake: Choosing the most waterproof cover with no vents. A sealed cover traps humidity, and the grill rusts or grows mildew underneath. Vents are a feature, not a flaw.

How We Picked

I did not test these covers hands-on, and this guide does not claim any test results. The picks come from the specs and fit lists in retailer listings and from what reviewers on those pages say.

Here are the criteria I weighed:

• Fit coverage: how many Coleman models the cover lists
• Weather features: vents, straps, and fabric type
• Ease of use: handles, zippers, and expansion
• Value: price relative to size and features
• Availability: whether the cover is still sold 

Specs and prices change often, and I’ve flagged every number I could not confirm on a Coleman page.

Care and Maintenance Tips for Your Grill Cover

A cover only helps if you use it well. These habits make it last.

Let the grill cool first. Wait until the grill is cool to the touch, usually 30 to 60 minutes after you shut it off. A warm cover can melt, stain, or trap heat.

Clean before covering. Brush the grates and wipe grease off the lid. Grease under a cover invites pests and smells. If you’re getting back into grilling season, our guide on how to start a grill covers a clean, safe light-up.

Shut off the propane. Turn the tank valve off before you cover a gas grill. Check your Coleman owner’s manual for tank and storage guidance for your model.

Fasten the straps. Wind is the number one reason covers blow off. Snug the straps, but don’t crush the fabric against hot spots.

Dry it out. If the cover is soaked, pull it off for a few hours before putting it back on.

Wash it once or twice a year. Use mild soap and a soft brush, then air dry. Skip the dryer, which can shrink or warp the fabric.

Replace it when it cracks. UV damage turns cheap fabric brittle. If it tears or the straps fail, it’s time for a new one.

When party season comes around, a clean, dry grill is one less thing to deal with. Our tips for hosting a summer BBQ can help you plan.

FAQ

What size cover fits a Coleman 4-burner grill?
It depends on the line. Listings show 54-58 inches long for Zip2Fit and Revolution covers, and 50-54 inches for the Cookout cover . Use your model number and measure the grill with the lid closed. Don’t rely on burner count alone.

Are Coleman grill covers waterproof?
Most listings say weather-resistant, not waterproof. Reviews are mixed, with some owners reporting good rain performance and others calling certain covers not waterproof . Expect strong rain runoff, but don’t count on a sealed cover in a long storm.

How do I find my Coleman grill model number?
Look for a sticker or plate on the back panel, the side shelf, or inside the cabinet door. It often starts with a letter and a string of digits, such as G52xxx or G53xxx. Take a photo and check it against the cover’s fit list.

Does a Coleman cover fit other brands?
Sometimes. The Pro Series cover is listed as suitable for other brands up to 68 inches wide . Check the cover’s length, depth, and height against your grill, and look for a return policy in case it sits wrong.

Can you cover a grill while it’s hot?
No. Wait until it’s cool to the touch before covering it. A hot grill can melt or damage the fabric, and trapped heat is a safety risk. Cooling usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, and longer after a high-heat cook.

Should a grill cover have vents?
Yes, if you live somewhere humid or rainy. Vents or ventilated handles let moist air escape, which reduces condensation and mildew. A sealed cover looks more waterproof but can hold dampness against the metal and speed up rust.

Conclusion

The best Coleman grill cover is the one that fits your exact model, and the Zip2Fit is the safest pick for most Coleman 3- and 4-burner owners. The Cookout cover saves money on matching grills, and the Pro Series suits 5-burner and larger grills. RoadTrip, charcoal, pellet, and griddle owners each have a model made for their cooker.

Check the model number, confirm the size, and look for vents and strong straps. Then verify every spec on Coleman’s own page before you buy, since retail listings and prices change.
