The most annoying, yet necessary invention ever

Now, I'm not gonna get too deep here, I just want to rant about something that makes me crazy. That something is:

My Barbeque Cover

You know what I mean... this type of thing right here:
I am sure there are more annoying things out there, but this BBQ cover makes me crazy. I really does. I mean, it is competely necessary, but it is incredibly hard to work with, always dirty and just a flat out pain in the ass to put on.

In all of the world's splendor and in this age of brilliant technology, we cant come up with something better than an ill-fitting black plastic/fabric shroud to keep our prized outdoor grills from looking like this?



I want something easy. Something fast. Clean, efficient and most of all, easy. Call me lazy, but I hate putting the cover back on my BBQ after I have finished grilling up some steaks to perfection. I hate it mainly because you cant put that faux cotton lined piece of crap on the BBQ when it is still hot, or it would melt right to the grill, so you have to leave it off, and then you inevitably forget about it -- well, I do anyway.

Then, the next day you look out and curse as either one of three things has happened:

1) The cover has blown off of your deck and into the far reaches of your yard, where it sits in a puddle

2) The cover has collected that gross post rain/early morning water on it, and when you pick it up to clean it off, you get that gross post rain/earlyn morning water on your hands and clothes.

3) The cover hasnt moved, yet it still sits there in all is disgusting dirty disgusting-ness. It sits and waits for you to come out and stuggle to get it over your grill, lining up the fabric creases so that it sits just right.

Maybe I am just complaining for the sake of complaining here, but dammit, give me a roll top cover or something, like those old-school breadboxes or desks. Give me a cover that you dont have to struggle with, one that has a door or something, one I can apply immediately after grilling.

Oh, I have it. I now know the ideal BBQ cover that I need to get. The ideal BBQ cover I dont have. The ideal BBQ cover that I will never have while I live in my current house.

That ideal BBQ cover? (see below for pic)

A freaking garage.
