Summerset Deluxe Freestanding Cover for the 30 inch Griddle Pro: coverage for the griddle and its cart
The Summerset Deluxe Freestanding Cover for the 30 inch Griddle Pro is a fitted cover for that griddle on its cart. Freestanding means it drops all the way down over the cart, so it covers the grill head, the side shelves, the doors, and the wheels. It is PVC, a thick vinyl that is waterproof and treated so the sun does not fade it. A soft flannel lining inside means it never scratches the steel, and Summerset backs it with a lifetime warranty.
Put it on when the grill is cool and dry, and it keeps rain, sprinkler spray, pollen, and grime off the stainless steel between cooks. It suits a griddle cart because the seasoned cooking surface weathers faster than the steel around it. A grill built into an island takes the shorter built in cover instead. Have a Quest on a cart?

The Summerset Deluxe Freestanding Cover for the 30 inch Griddle Pro ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
Why does a griddle need a cover more than a regular grill?
Griddles hold a layer of cooking-oil seasoning that rain, dew, and pollen break down faster than they harm a grill grate. Keeping the 30-inch Griddle Pro under this fitted cover preserves that seasoning between cooks, so the surface stays slick and ready instead of needing a scrub and re-oil every weekend.
Which griddle does the CARTCOV-GRID30 fit?
It is patterned for the 30-inch Griddle Pro mounted freestanding on its cart – the drop is long enough to shelter the cart body, not just the griddle head. If your Griddle Pro is built into an island, choose the built-in version instead. You can compare both setups in our outdoor griddle collection.
What is this cover made of?
Heavy-duty PVC that Summerset rates 100 percent water-resistant, with UV inhibitors to stop the material fading and cracking in the sun. Inside, a soft flannel lining rides against the Griddle Pro’s stainless so the cover never leaves swirl marks when wind shifts it or you pull it on and off.
Will moisture get trapped underneath and cause rust?
Condensation only becomes a problem when a cover goes on over a wet or still-warm griddle and stays sealed for weeks. Let the 30-inch Griddle Pro cool and dry first, and pull the cover off on a sunny afternoon occasionally to air things out – a two-minute habit that keeps the flannel interior dry.
Can I just leave the griddle cart out in the rain instead?
You can, but you will pay for it in cleanup. Rain spots stainless, strips griddle seasoning, and works grit into the cart’s casters and hinges. Since a freestanding Griddle Pro usually lives out in the open rather than under a roof, a fitted cover is the cheapest insurance you can buy for it.
How do I clean the cover itself?
Hose it down and wipe with mild soapy water when pollen or bird droppings build up – never machine-wash PVC or use solvents, which attack the coating. Let it dry fully before draping it back over the griddle cart. That is the entire maintenance routine for the CARTCOV-GRID30.
Is the cover under warranty?
Yes – Summerset backs this cover with its Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty, the same industry-leading protection behind their grills. Combined with the UV-stabilized PVC, that makes it a buy-once accessory for your 30-inch Griddle Pro rather than the seasonal throwaway covers big-box stores sell.
