Grill Exposed to the Elements? Pit Boss 700FB Grill Cover 73700 – Protect Your Investment Fast
Leaving your Pit Boss 700FB uncovered accelerates rust, fading, and component damage. In most outdoor pellet grill setups, this is caused by a missing or worn grill cover. When it fails, moisture, UV rays, and debris degrade the grill body, hopper, and control panel. ⚡ Common issue with Pit Boss 700FB grills stored outdoors year-round. Part 73700 is the genuine OEM replacement cover that restores full weather protection and extends the life of your grill.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Your grill is a Pit Boss 700FB model (check label on hopper or control panel)
- ✔ Your existing cover is torn, missing, or no longer fits securely
- ✔ You store the grill outdoors or in a partially exposed area
- ✔ You want a custom-fit cover — not a universal size
- ✔ ONLY issue is lack of proper weather protection for the grill

🔧 Common Symptoms of a Failed or Missing Cover
- Rust or surface corrosion appearing on grill body or lid
- Faded or chalky paint finish from UV exposure
- Moisture inside the hopper causing pellet clumping or rot
- Debris, leaves, or insects found inside the grill between uses
- Control panel or digital display showing weather-related damage
- Cover slipping off or no longer cinching securely around the grill
✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing the cover restores full protection immediately.

Check your grill grates and grease bucket liner while the cover is off — these are the next most common wear items on the 700FB. Replacing them at the same time saves a second disassembly and keeps your grill in peak condition.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: EASY — 2 minutes. No tools required. Ensure the grill is fully cooled before covering. Drape the cover over the grill from front to back, align the seams with the grill body edges, then cinch the drawstring closure underneath for a secure fit. Do not cover a hot grill — allow at least 1 hour of cool-down after use.
💡 Pro Tip
Even with a cover in place, humidity can still affect pellets left in the hopper during long storage periods. Empty the hopper and store pellets in an airtight container between uses — this prevents clumping, misfeeds, and auger jams that are the #1 cause of 700FB ignition failures.
