Frequently Asked Questions

Montana® grill covers protect your grill from environmental damage caused by rain, snow, ice, mold, mildew, ultraviolet rays, acid rain, etc. Additionally, some of our grill covers are ventilated, allowing air to freely flow through and preventing the build up of damaging condensation. This prevents your barbeque from prematurely rusting.

All Montana® grill covers come with a warranty to guarantee your satisfaction. However, the length of the warranty varies from cover to cover. Please refer to the packaging for the length of your warranty. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Place wood chips in the Smokerin™ smoker box, close the lid and use the handle to place it on the grill or directly on the burner deflector bars. The Smokerin™ can also be placed directly on hot charcoal. Once smoking, move the Smokerin™ smoker box to the top of the grill for slow smoking. For the best smoke flavour, cook with the lid closed.

What separates the Smokerin™ smoker box from the rest of the pack is its durability and innovative design. Custom-made with 304 heavy gauge stainless steel, our patented smoker has a one-of-a-kind handle and locking system that makes it easy to use, clean and store. Its compact oval shape allows it to fit between the burner deflector bars of most gas grills or rest comfortably on burning charcoal. Special draft and flow-through ventilation systems maximize the amount of smoke your chips produce, while ensuring that the chips won't catch fire, which would unevenly cook your food, compromise the flavor and burn through your wood chip supply too quickly.

Direct and indirect grilling simply refers to where the food goes on the grill compared to where your heat and flame is coming from. Specifically, indirect grilling involves the food being placed to the side of your heat source. Generally, foods that cook quickly should be cooked directly, while foods that require longer cooking times and lower temperatures are better suited to indirect grilling.
