Barth1234 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hi all, I've gotten myself a Kamado Joe Big Joe about two months ago. Since the beginning I've covered it with a Kamado Joe branded cover. Now I have two problems: - The cover seams to leak so much that there is a lot of water on the daisy wheel and the Kamdo is whet all around; - The springs en bolts seam to rust? Has anyone ever had this problem? Kind regards, Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admckillip Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I got my BJ in August and always keep it covered, but I am having the exact same rust issue on the bolts. I find it very frustrating... Stainless bolt/nutheads shouldn't be rusting. Let alone after half a season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are your springs also rusting? kind regards, Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cschaaf Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Yes and no. The KJ cover is pretty bad. It's good for about 2 light rain storms. After that, it's more of a dust cover. I have not noticed my springs or bolts rusting, but it's been a while since I took the cover off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyjbbq Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 perhaps your cover is trapping moisture causing rust? my grills are uncovered for a few years and no rust. new england winters prowe and later4ya 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
