Protecting your Cadac barbecue from British weather isn't optional if you want it lasting more tha...Protecting your Cadac barbecue from British weather isn't optional if you want it lasting more than a season or two. This 58cm weatherproof nylon cover fits snugly over both Carri Chef 50 and Braai range models, keeping rain, dust and UV damage at bay when your BBQ's stored in the garden, caravan awning or motorhome garage. The 2025 design features improved drawstring closures that actually stay tight, which matters when you're dealing with coastal winds or storing the unit outdoors long-term.The nylon material strikes a proper balance between weight and protection. It's light enough to pack without taking up half your storage locker, yet tough enough to handle regular use throughout the camping season. UV resistance prevents that brittle, cracked look cheaper covers develop after six months in summer sun. Fits over the BBQ quickly without wrestling or stretching, and the drawstrings cinch down to stop it blowing off during overnight stops. Worth noting that while this cover handles weather brilliantly, you'll still want to let your BBQ cool completely before covering it. The nylon won't melt like some synthetic covers, but trapping heat and moisture creates condensation that can affect your cooking surfaces over time. Storing the BBQ dry under this cover extends its life significantly compared to leaving it exposed, particularly important given Cadac's quality components and the investment you've made in a proper portable cooking system.

Its key benefit is providing robust protection against rain, dust, and UV damage, ensuring your investment remains in top condition. A minor caveat is the need to allow the barbecue to cool completely before covering to prevent moisture buildup.
