Two years ago I ordered a Masterbuilt branded cover for my MES 40" smoker from Amazon. After getting it I determined that it was just too cheap and flimsy to keep and I sent it back. Then I bought a cover made by a company called Brightent that was better and big enough to also fit over the M/B cold smoker attachment. It was also fairly expensive at $59.95. Unfortunately after two years of use the fabric on the top started to develop some tears, probably from UV deterioration.
So I went looking for a replacement and finding nothing really appealing turned to a local auto/boat upholstery shop. I considered a boat cover canvas but that would cost $100 because he'd have to order material in some minimum amount. But, he had some leftover commercial grade naugahyde and could make it for $60. The silver color/pattern was OK, especially for a stainless smoker box.
I like it and we will see how it stands up to the elements.
