Kipiea Griddle Cover for Blackstone 28" Hooded Griddles — Waterproof Heavy-Duty, Tear & Fade Resistant with Buckles

The Kipiea griddle cover protects 28" hooded flat-top grills like the Blackstone 5483 from rain, sun, dirt and wind with a waterproof, heavy-duty, stay-put design.

If you keep a 28" Blackstone-style griddle outdoors, a dependable cover is the simplest way to extend its life and save cleaning time. Kipiea built this cover to match the dimensions of popular 28" hooded griddles (61"W x 27"D x 33"H) and to resist the wear that outdoor elements deliver—UV, heavy rain, snow, and wind. The result is a tight-fitting, low-maintenance shield that minimizes rust, fading, and grime on your flat top.

Will this cover fit my Blackstone 28" griddle with a hood?

Yes—this cover is tailored for 28" griddles with an X-brace hood and the boxed dimensions listed. It was designed specifically to suit Blackstone models comparable to the 5483 and several Original-series griddles, plus some Cuisinart 28" hooded units. It is not compatible with XL rangetop combo models or single-shelf variants, so measuring first avoids mismatches.

• Designed dimensions: 61"W x 27"D x 33"H
• Compatible: Blackstone 5483, Originals 1883/2147/1924/1785/2146
• Also fits: Cuisinart CGG-9748 28" hooded griddle
• Not for: 28" XL rangetop combo or single shelf models

How durable and weatherproof is the Kipiea cover?

The cover uses upgraded 600D Oxford fabric with a double-layer PU coating and fully sealed seams for three-layer protection. That construction makes it tear- and fade-resistant against prolonged sun exposure, and fully waterproof to block heavy rain, snow, and morning dew—keeping the griddle surface dry and corrosion risk lower.

• Material: 600D heavy-duty Oxford cloth, upgraded thickness
• Waterproofing: double PU coating plus sealed seams
• Longevity: designed to resist tearing and fading over multiple seasons

Will the cover stay on during wind and storms?

Yes—the cover includes six robust buckles and two reinforced drawstrings with sliding adjustments to secure it to the grill. The straps are engineered to withstand strong pull forces so the cover stays put without constant readjustment, even in gusty conditions.

• Fastening: 6 durable buckles around the base
• Tightening: 2 adjustable drawstrings for a snug hem
• Strength: reinforced straps rated to resist high pull forces

How easy is it to clean and store when not in use?

Maintenance is low-effort—surface dirt, bird droppings, and debris rinse off with water and wipe down quickly. The cover comes with a compact storage bag so you can fold and stow it neatly during grilling season or indoor storage.

• Cleaning: rinse with water and towel dry
• Storage: included bag for compact packing
• Care tip: dry fully before long-term storage to prevent mildew

Who is this for? If you own a 28" hooded flat-top griddle—especially Blackstone 5483 or similar Original-series models—and you want an affordable, long-lasting shield against weather and wear, the Kipiea cover is built for you. It suits backyard chefs who prefer minimal upkeep, second-home owners protecting outdoor gear from seasonal weather, and anyone seeking a secure, close fit with easy fastening. For the best results, confirm your griddle’s dimensions match the listed size before purchasing.
