The Cadac Carri Chef 40 BBQ Cover keeps your portable barbecue protected from the elements when not in use. This full-length cover wraps around the entire unit including the legs, made from heavy-duty vinyl that stands up to British weather conditions. The drawstring closures at the bottom create a snug fit that stops the cover blowing off during windy nights, while the UV-resistant material prevents the sun from degrading the vinyl over time.
Designed specifically for the Carri Chef 40 range, this cover fits all variants including standard and deluxe models. The weatherproof construction blocks rain from reaching the cooking surfaces and burner assembly, which helps prevent rust forming on metal components during damp months. Most caravan and motorhome owners keep this cover on between trips or during winter storage, as moisture and condensation can damage barbecues left exposed even when stored under awnings or in garages.
The black vinyl material is thicker than standard barbecue covers sold in camping shops, which typically wear through at stress points after a season or two. One limitation is that the cover needs the barbecue to be completely cool before fitting, as the vinyl can deform if placed over hot surfaces. Using a proper fitted cover rather than a generic tarp makes a noticeable difference to how long portable barbecues stay in good working order, particularly the painted finishes and chrome fittings on Cadac models.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cover fit both the Carri Chef 40 and Carri Chef 50 models?
No, this cover is designed specifically for the Carri Chef 40 range. The Carri Chef 50 models are larger and require a different cover with bigger dimensions. Using the wrong size cover results in either excess material that flaps in wind or insufficient coverage that leaves parts of the barbecue exposed to weather.
Can I leave the cover on my Carri Chef 40 outdoors all year round?
The cover is weatherproof and UV-resistant so it can protect your barbecue outdoors throughout the year. However, storing the covered barbecue under a caravan awning, in a garage, or under any shelter extends both the cover and barbecue lifespan. Direct exposure to constant rain and strong UV rays will eventually wear down any protective cover material over several seasons.
How do the drawstring closures work on this BBQ cover?
The drawstring runs through the hem at the base of the cover. After placing the cover over your Carri Chef 40, you pull the drawstring tight and secure it using the toggle or cord lock mechanism. This creates a snug fit around the barbecue legs and prevents wind from lifting the cover off during storms or windy camping conditions.
What makes this heavy-duty vinyl different from standard BBQ covers?
Heavy-duty vinyl is thicker and more tear-resistant than the thin polyester or lightweight PVC used in generic barbecue covers. The material maintains its flexibility in cold weather without cracking and has enhanced UV stabilizers that prevent the black colour from fading to grey. Standard covers often split at seams or wear through at contact points within one or two seasons, while heavy-duty vinyl typically lasts multiple years with regular outdoor use.
Should I clean my Carri Chef 40 before putting the cover on?
Yes, cleaning the barbecue before covering prevents food residue and grease from attracting moisture that can lead to mould or rust formation. The barbecue must be completely cool and dry before fitting the cover. Trapped moisture under a weatherproof cover creates condensation that damages metal components, so allow several hours for the barbecue to cool and air dry after your final cook of the season.
Does the cover protect against condensation in winter storage?
The weatherproof cover blocks external moisture from rain and snow, but condensation can still form inside if the barbecue is stored in areas with temperature fluctuations like sheds or garages. To reduce condensation risk, store the covered barbecue in a well-ventilated space and consider placing moisture absorber sachets inside the barbecue chamber before covering. Some owners slightly loosen the drawstring to allow minimal air circulation while maintaining protection from dust and dirt.
