Summerset Deluxe Freestanding Cover for the 36 inch Quest: protection for the whole cart
The Summerset Deluxe Freestanding Cover for the 36 inch Quest is a fitted cover for the Quest 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. A grill built into an island takes the shorter built in cover instead. This fits the mid size Quest, which has more cart to cover than the smaller Quest covers reach. Quest grills ship with this cover in the box, so this is the replacement or the spare. Have the larger Quest? See the Summerset Deluxe Freestanding Cover for the 42 inch Quest. The Summerset Deluxe Freestanding Cover for the 36 inch Quest ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What size setup is the CARTCOV-QST36D meant for?
The 36-inch Quest on its cart – the mid-size of the Quest family and a popular pick for households feeding a crowd every weekend. More cooking area means more cart, and this cover is patterned for that larger footprint, reaching the shelves and cabinet the smaller Quest covers cannot.
Why is a freestanding cover shaped differently from a built-in one?
A freestanding cover is essentially a garage for the whole cart: long drop, wide corners, room for side shelves. Built-in covers are short caps for island-mounted heads. The 36-inch Quest is a cart grill, so it takes the full-length version – the anchor of many a rolling outdoor kitchen.
My Quest’s original cover wore out – is this the same one?
This is the current factory cover for the 36-inch Quest cart, matching the fitted pattern the bundle shipped with. If the original tore, walked off during a move, or faded past its best, this slots in as a direct replacement rather than a compromise universal.
How much does a cover help in a harsh climate?
A lot. Coastal salt, desert UV, and irrigation minerals each attack stainless a different way, and a cart grill stands in the open for all of them. Waterproof, UV-treated PVC intercepts that daily exposure so the Quest 36 only weathers while you are actually cooking on it.
What maintenance does the cover need?
Almost none – hose off dirt, wipe stubborn spots with mild soap, dry, done. Skip solvents and stiff brushes that damage PVC coatings. Check that it is seated after windy nights; a properly fitted 36-inch pattern rarely shifts, but it costs nothing to look.
Does the lining really protect the finish?
The flannel interior exists for exactly one reason: PVC dragged across stainless daily would eventually haze it, and the soft lining prevents that entirely. Combined with the waterproof shell and UV treatment, the Quest 36 gets protection on the outside and gentleness on the inside.
Is there a warranty on the cover?
Summerset includes this cover under the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty, its top-tier industry-leading coverage. That is unusual for a PVC accessory and a fair signal of how the Deluxe series is built to last alongside the 36-inch grill it protects.
