Many of the great pics I've seen are of peoples' cookers that are either under some sort of cover or rolled out of their garage when it's time to cook. There are very few (though they do exist) of people who keep their pits exposed to the elements. I'm curious if people who can't protect their pits inside a garage or under a roof cover them with a tarp or custom cover.
I've finally bit the bullet and decided to place an order on an LSG 24x40 (though I may change to the 24x48 before they can start the build in 3 months) and I'm trying to decide if I should invest in a cover. I've seen some youtube videos (Babyback maniac in TX) that suggest the LSG paint is very resilient and can stand up to the elements. I live in Virginia where we get snow and rain on a regular basis.
If you have a pit that lives outside, do you cover it? If you have an LSG offset smoker, do you feel like the paint is hardy enough to withstand rain and snow or would you recommend a tarp or vinyl cover?
Thanks for any advice in advance!
