Compare the Blackstone 5 Person Chef's Table Cover and the Patio 36" Griddle Cover to find the right fit for your outdoor cooking setup. We break down the differences in design, protection, and value.
Quick answer
Choose the 5 Person Chef's Table Cover if you own the Chef's Table model and want a tailored, heavy-duty fit; pick the Patio 36" Griddle Cover for a more affordable, weather-resistant option that fits standard 36-inch Patio Series griddles.
Design and fit differences
The Chef's Table Cover is custom-designed for the 5 Person Chef's Table, which has a different shape and footprint than a standard 36-inch Patio griddle. The Patio 36" Griddle Cover is sized specifically for the Patio Series, so mixing them up could leave gaps or cause a poor fit.
Both covers use heavy-duty 600-denier polyester, but the Chef's Table Cover includes reinforced corners for extra durability on a larger, more complex shape. The Patio cover relies on reinforced stitching for strength.
Weather protection and materials
Both covers are weather-resistant and UV-resistant, shielding your equipment from rain, sun, and debris. The Chef's Table Cover emphasizes a "glove-like" fit that keeps wind from lifting the cover, while the Patio cover is designed for easy placement and removal for quick access.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Price: Chef's Table Cover costs $59.99 (regularly $99.99), while the Patio 36" Griddle Cover costs $33.50 (regularly $50.00). The Chef's Table cover is nearly double the price even on sale.
- Fit precision: The Chef's Table Cover is custom-tailored for the 5 Person Chef's Table, ensuring a snug, glove-like fit. The Patio cover is designed for 36-inch Patio Series griddles and may not fit other shapes as well. Measure your griddle or table dimensions before buying to confirm compatibility.
- Durability features: Both use 600-denier polyester, but the Chef's Table Cover adds reinforced corners for extra resilience on a larger, more angular surface. The Patio cover relies on reinforced stitching for strength.
