Ranks in the top 15% of all 14 grill covers we have rated.
This cover fits a body, not a badge. On a 400 size Baron, Crown or Signet, it fits like the factory part it is. Off that list, a cover sized to your own grill will do better.
Broil King does not sell this cover for one grill. Part 68487 is cut for a cart body that several model lines share. The Baron 400s, the Crown 400s and the Signet 300s all wear it. So does a Crown built back in 2006.
That makes it an odd thing to judge. It is no marketplace generic. Nor is it shaped to one named grill.
In short, it is a cover sized to a family. So does a family fit hug as well as a fitted one? And is that worth $74.99?
Start with the cloth. The outer face is PVC, slick to the touch, laminated to a woven 900 denier polyester. It is black all over, with blue stitching tracing every edge.
The Broil King name is embroidered across the front, not printed. Printed logos crack and peel; thread does not.
Each end carries a moulded grip on a fabric strap. Low on each side, short strips of hook and loop close the hem around the cart. Lift one of the stitched flaps and a mesh vent sits behind it.
The listing gives the weight as 2.7 pounds. Few shells this wide weigh so little. You notice how little effort it takes to throw it over a lid.
The feature set is short. Each part has a job, and none is decoration beyond the logo.
| Metric | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 58 x 21.5 x 46 in | Wide, shallow and tall. It drapes a full cart with both side shelves up. |
| Fabric | PVC on 900D polyester | A coated face over a heavy weave. Water beads and runs off. |
| Fits | Baron, Crown, Signet 400 size | Sold for one cart body. Check your model on the maker's chart first. |
| Fastening | Hook and loop | Closures at the sides pull the hem in around the cart legs. |
| Venting | Mesh vents | Damp air escapes, so less condensation sits on the steel underneath. |
| Weight | 2.7 lb | Light enough to lift off with one hand on each end grip. |
| Warranty | 5 year limited | Stated on the listing and badged by the maker. One Canadian seller says less. |
| Shipping | Free delivery | Shipped and sold by Amazon. In stock in October 2026. |
Here, the size is the fit claim. Its drawing reads 58 inches across, 21.5 front to back and 46 from hem to top. That is one size for one cart family, not a guess at every grill.
On its covers chart, 68487 is the part for the Baron 490, 440 and 420. The Crown 490, 440, 420 and 410 take it too. So do the Signet 390, 340 and 320.
That list takes in four grills we have reviewed. They are the Baron 440 and the Crown S 440. The Crown S 490 and Crown 410 Shadow complete it. None of the maker’s lists names the Regal, Royal or Monarch lines.
The catch is that Broil King tells the story four ways. The product page lists current Shadow and Pro models. The chart lists bare numbers. The box goes by model year, back to Crown 20, 40 and 70 grills from 2006.
The page title even names Sovereign, then leaves it off the list beneath. And no source names a grill it does not fit.
PVC is the reason to pay for Premium. Water beads on the coated face and runs off the shoulders rather than soaking in. Broil King calls it water resistant, and it never claims more than that.
Yet the vents matter as much as the coating. A sealed shell traps damp air against the lid, and that breeds rust and mildew. The mesh openings give that air a way out.
The durability picture is mixed. A 900 denier backing is heavy cloth for a cover. Yet the maker’s own care note says to keep it out of long direct sun.
Covers spend their lives outdoors, so the warning stands out. Read it as a hint that the PVC face ages in strong sun.
Five years, limited, is the term on Amazon. Broil King’s page carries a matching badge. One Canadian retailer lists one year instead. Neither page spells out what the limited terms exclude.
Daily use is where it shines. At 2.7 pounds it comes off with one hand on each grip. You lift, step back, and fold. Amazon calls the grips moulded rubber, while Broil King’s page says polyester.
The hook and loop strips peel open in a second. Then the hanging loops let it dry on a hook rather than in a heap.
Broil King’s care advice is brief. A damp cover goes on the hook, not into a cupboard. Heat sources are off limits, so wait until the lid has cooled.
Value is the softer score. It sells for $74.99 on Amazon. Broil King’s own Select cover in the same size sold for $54.42 the same week.
So about $20 buys the PVC face, the vents and the moulded grips. Set beside the price of the grill it guards, the step is small. It is still no bargain.
Five cover categories, each with a fixed weight, applied the same way to every cover. Scored under Avid Griller Scoring System 2.2.
Broil King sizes it to one cart body across Baron, Crown and Signet, though its four fit lists disagree and none names exclusions.
A PVC face over woven polyester sheds water, and mesh vents let damp air out; the maker still claims only water resistance.
The 900D backing is heavy, but the maker's own note warns against long direct sun, and sellers disagree on the warranty length.
At 2.7 pounds with a moulded grip at each end, one person lifts it off, and hanging loops give it somewhere to go.
About $20 over Broil King's own Select cover at $54.42, paid for the PVC face, the vents and the better handles.
This cover fits a body, not a badge. On a 400 size Baron, Crown or Signet, it fits like the factory part it is. Off that list, a cover sized to your own grill will do better.
