A grill cover storage bag can protect a portable grill or griddle from scuffs and dust while making it easier to carry or store. My best overall pick is the SAMDEW Portable Grill Carry Bag for Weber Q Series, a purpose-specific option for owners of compatible Weber Q grills. The BLACKSTONE 5035 stands out for carrying 17-inch and 22-inch tabletop griddles, while the Weber Summit 400-Series cover with storage bag serves a very different need: storing a full-size grill cover rather than carrying a portable cooker. The main tradeoff is between a close model-specific fit and a more flexible bag that may suit different gear but fit less precisely. Read on for the full breakdown and guidance on matching a bag to your grill, accessories, and storage routine.

Key Takeaways
Model compatibility matters most. The SAMDEW Q Series and Ajyingasyo Q1000/Q1200/Q1400 bags target particular Weber Q models, while a generic size assumption can lead to a poor fit.
This lineup serves different storage jobs. Several bags carry portable grills or griddles, but the Weber Summit 400-Series product is designed to store a grill cover, not a Summit grill.
Griddle accessories need their own space. The Weber Full-Size Griddle Insert bag is the dedicated choice for an insert, while the BLACKSTONE 5035 is made for transporting a tabletop griddle.
Portability and fit pull in different directions. A bag made for a named grill model is easier to match, while a broader carry bag may offer flexibility but calls for careful dimension checks.
Product names alone do not confirm weather protection. Buyers storing gear outdoors should verify material and closure details rather than assume a carry bag works as a weatherproof grill cover.

More Details on Our Top Picks
samdew Grill Storage Bag for Weber Go-Anywhere Grills
The samdew Grill Storage Bag is the most useful fit here for owners of the compact Weber Go-Anywhere charcoal or gas grill who want to carry the grill and keep small essentials together. Its water-resistant nylon shell and padded handles suit trips between home, a campsite, or a vehicle, while the front utensil pocket and four side pockets give tools and 1-pound propane cylinders their own places. Compared with the larger Ajyingasyo Q-series bag, this one is tailored to a narrower set of grills and has fewer compartments, but its listed dimensions make it the more targeted choice for Go-Anywhere models. The tradeoff is firm compatibility: other grills may not fit, and this is a carrying and storage bag, not a weatherproof cover to leave over a grill outdoors.
Pros:- Designed for the Weber 121020 charcoal and 1141001 gas Go-Anywhere grills.
- Water-resistant nylon helps shield the grill during transport and storage.
- Padded handles make carrying more comfortable.
- Front utensil pocket and four side pockets separate accessories and 1-pound propane cylinders.
Cons:- Compatibility is limited to the listed Go-Anywhere grill models.
- A carrying bag is not a fitted cover for leaving a grill outdoors.
- Propane cylinders and grill are not included.
Best for: Weber Go-Anywhere charcoal or gas grill owners who want a portable bag with dedicated space for utensils and small propane cylinders.
Not ideal for: Owners of other grill models, or buyers who need a cover to remain on a grill outdoors rather than a bag for carrying and storage.
- Compatible grills:Weber 121020 Go-Anywhere Charcoal Grill and 1141001 Go-Anywhere Gas Grill
- Material:Nylon
- Water resistance:Water-resistant
- Dimensions:21.2 x 14.1 x 10.5 in
- Weight:0.78 kg
- Closure:U-shaped zipper
- Compartments:5
- Handles:2 padded handles
Our verdict“Choose this bag if you own a listed Weber Go-Anywhere grill and want a compact, organized carry solution rather than an all-weather outdoor cover.”
Weber Full‑Size Griddle Insert Storage Bag
For a buyer storing a Weber Spirit or Genesis full-size griddle insert, this bag keeps the choice simple: weather-resistant fabric, a double zipper, and sturdy handles protect and move the insert without turning it into a bulky kit. Its purpose is narrower than the BLACKSTONE 5035 carry bag, which is built around transporting a tabletop griddle with a hood and stand. The Weber bag is instead an insert-specific storage option, so it makes more sense when the griddle accessory is the item that needs protection. The main compromise is its limited fit: it is specified for particular Weber 300 Series griddles, and the description lists no internal padding or reinforcement. I would skip it for a complete grill or for an insert that does not match the stated models.
Pros:- Designed for compatible Weber Spirit and Genesis full-size griddle inserts.
- Weather-resistant fabric helps protect the insert in storage.
- Double zipper supports straightforward loading and removal.
- Sturdy handles make the insert easier to move.
Cons:- Fit is limited to specified Weber 300 Series griddle inserts.
- No internal padding or reinforcement is listed.
- The product is for a griddle insert, not a full grill.
Best for: Owners of compatible Weber Spirit or Genesis 300 Series full-size griddle inserts who want a lightweight bag for protected storage and occasional transport.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a bag for a complete grill, a padded protective case, or a griddle insert outside the stated Weber compatibility.
- Compatible items:Full-size griddles for Weber Spirit and Genesis 300 Series
- Material:Fabric
- Weather resistance:Weather-resistant
- Dimensions:2 x 27 x 19 in (L x W x H, as listed)
- Closure:Double zipper
- Handles:Sturdy handles
- Color:Black
- Model number:7035
Our verdict“Pick this if your compatible Weber griddle insert needs a simple weather-resistant storage bag, but not if you need padding or whole-grill coverage.”
BLACKSTONE® 5035 Tabletop Griddle Carry Bag – Fits 17″ & 22″
The BLACKSTONE 5035 is the travel-oriented choice in this group: its 600D polyester construction, reinforced bottom straps, and cinch straps are intended to keep a compatible tabletop griddle bundle secure while moving it. It fits Blackstone 17- or 22-inch tabletop griddles with the hood and stand, which makes it more transport-focused than the Weber Full-Size Griddle Insert Storage Bag, a simpler home-storage option for an insert. The resin handles and reinforced stitching address the strain of lifting a griddle, while weather-resistant material offers added protection on the way to an outdoor cooking spot. That sturdier setup also means a heavier bag, listed at 3 pounds, and compatibility is specific. The hood and stand are not included, so check the bundle dimensions before choosing it.
Pros:- Fits specified Blackstone 17- and 22-inch tabletop griddles with hood and stand.
- 600D weather-resistant polyester is suited to transport and storage.
- Cinch straps and reinforced bottom straps help secure and support the load.
- High-impact resin handles and reinforced stitching are built for carrying.
Cons:- Compatibility is limited to the listed Blackstone tabletop griddle sizes and setup.
- The bag weighs 3 pounds, adding carrying weight before the griddle is loaded.
- Hood and stand are not included.
Best for: Blackstone 17- or 22-inch tabletop griddle owners who travel to campsites or outdoor cooking events with a compatible hood-and-stand setup.
Not ideal for: Buyers with other griddle brands or those seeking a lightweight bag for stationary storage; the griddle hood and stand are sold separately.
- Compatible griddles:Blackstone 17-inch or 22-inch tabletop griddle with hood and stand
- Material:600D polyester; description also lists vinyl lining
- Water resistance:Water-resistant
- Closure:Zipper
- Compartments:2
- Dimensions:11.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 in (listed item dimensions)
- Weight:3 pounds
- Color:Black
Our verdict“Choose the BLACKSTONE 5035 for transporting a compatible tabletop griddle bundle; choose the Weber insert bag instead for simpler storage of a griddle accessory.”
Weber Grill Cover With Storage Bag For Summit 400-Series Gas Grills, Black
Unlike the carry bags in this lineup, the Weber Summit 400-series cover is designed to stay on the grill and has its own storage pouch sewn into the cover. That pouch folds away out of sight while the grill is covered, then gives the cover a place to go when removed. The polyester fabric is described as pliable in cold conditions, and Velcro straps help hold the fitted cover in place. This makes it a stronger match for a fixed outdoor grill than the samdew Go-Anywhere bag, which is built to carry a portable grill and accessories. Its limitations are equally specific: it fits Summit 400-series gas grills, not portable grills or other Summit sizes, and the listing provides no full cover dimensions. It is a grill cover with a storage pouch, not a travel bag for the grill itself.
Pros:- Integrated pouch gives the removed cover a dedicated storage place.
- Fitted design and hook-and-loop straps help keep the cover snug.
- Polyester fabric is described as pliable in cold conditions.
- Includes a limited three-year manufacturer warranty, as listed.
Cons:- Fits only Weber Summit 400-series gas grills.
- It covers a grill rather than carrying or storing the grill itself.
- Full cover dimensions are not provided in the product data.
Best for: Summit 400-series gas grill owners who want a fitted outdoor cover with a built-in pouch for storing the cover when it is removed.
Not ideal for: Portable-grill owners, shoppers needing a bag to carry a grill, or anyone with a grill outside the Summit 400-series fit.
- Compatible grills:Weber Summit 400-series gas grills
- Material:100% polyester
- Color:Black
- Closure:Hook and loop
- Fit features:Form-fitted cover with Velcro straps
- Storage feature:Integrated drawstring pouch with hang loop and Velcro
- Weight:16 ounces
- Warranty:Limited 3-year manufacturer warranty
Our verdict“Pick this for a Summit 400-series grill that stays outdoors and needs a fitted cover with a discreet storage pouch, not for portable-grill transport.”
Ajyingasyo Grill Carry Bag for Weber Q1000, Q1200, and Q1400 Grills
The Ajyingasyo carry bag suits Weber Q-series owners who want more accessory organization than the smaller, model-specific samdew Go-Anywhere bag provides. Its eight compartments include zippered storage and side pockets, while the padded handle and water-resistant 1680D Oxford material support carrying and short-term storage. The wider compatibility across Q1000, Q1200, and Q1400 models may also appeal to households choosing among those grills, though the listed size still calls for a careful fit check. This is a carry bag rather than a fitted cover for leaving a grill outdoors, and the product data does not specify reinforced straps or internal padding beyond the handle. Propane canisters are not included, so the pockets provide storage space but do not add fuel to the package.
Pros:- Fits several listed Weber Q-series grill models.
- Water-resistant 1680D Oxford material is suited to carrying and storage.
- Eight compartments provide more accessory organization than the samdew Go-Anywhere bag.
- Padded handle supports carrying.
Cons:- Buyers should compare their grill dimensions with the listed bag size before purchase.
- Propane canisters are not included.
- It is a carry and storage bag, not a fitted outdoor cover.
Best for: Weber Q1000, Q1200, or Q1400 owners who transport their grill with several tools and accessories and want multiple separate pockets.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a permanent outdoor grill cover, a bag for another grill family, or a package that includes propane canisters.
- Compatible grills:Weber Q1000, Q1200, and Q1400
- Material:1680D Oxford; nylon
- Water resistance:Water-resistant
- Dimensions:29.5 x 17.7 x 16.5 in
- Closure:Zipper
- Compartments:8
- Handle:Padded
- Propane canisters:Not included
Our verdict“Choose this for a compatible Weber Q-series grill when accessory pockets matter more than a permanent outdoor cover or included fuel.”
Royal Gourmet CB2101 Portable Grill Carry Bag
The CB2101 makes the most sense when the grill is already a match: its listed compatibility is specifically for the Royal Gourmet PD1202R. Water-resistant 600D polyester oxford fabric helps shield that tabletop grill from rain, UV exposure, and scuffs during storage or transport. A zipper and sturdy handles make packing and carrying more straightforward, while the tool pockets keep a few grilling essentials with the bag. Compared with the SAMDEW Portable Grill Carry Bag for Weber Q Series, this is a simpler, lighter option, but SAMDEW offers more carrying choices and dedicated pockets for propane cylinders. The narrow model match is the main tradeoff: buyers with another grill should not assume it will fit. Choose this bag for targeted protection, not universal storage.
Pros:- Water-resistant 600D polyester oxford fabric helps protect against rain, UV exposure, and scratches.
- Zippered closure helps keep the grill enclosed during storage and transport.
- Sturdy handles make the bag easier to carry.
- Tool pockets provide space for small grilling accessories.
Cons:- Compatibility is specified only for the Royal Gourmet PD1202R.
- Does not offer the shoulder strap or propane-cylinder pockets found on the SAMDEW Weber Q bag.
Best for: Owners of the Royal Gourmet PD1202R who want a water-resistant carry bag with room for a few grilling tools.
Not ideal for: People with other tabletop grill models or anyone seeking a broadly compatible bag, since the listed fit is limited to the PD1202R.
- Compatible model:Royal Gourmet PD1202R
- Dimensions:20.28 x 8.46 x 18.11 inches
- Weight:16 ounces
- Material:600D polyester oxford fabric
- Closure:Zipper
- Water resistance:Water resistant
- Color:Black
Our verdict“Buy this if you own the PD1202R and want a water-resistant, tool-pocketed carry bag; skip it if your grill model differs.”
SAMDEW Portable Grill Carry Bag for Weber Q Series
For owners of a Weber Q1000, Q1200, or Q1400, this SAMDEW bag combines grill transport with dedicated accessory storage. Its full-opening double zipper gives access across the bag, and the front tool pocket plus four side pockets can separate grilling tools and 1-pound propane cylinders from the grill. Handles suit short carries, while the adjustable, removable shoulder strap gives another option when hands are occupied. Compared with the Royal Gourmet CB2101, SAMDEW accommodates three listed Weber models and adds more carrying and storage features; the Royal Gourmet bag instead specifies water resistance and 600D oxford fabric. SAMDEW’s tradeoff is that its compatibility remains model-specific, and the polyester description does not specify water resistance. The grill is not included, so this is a transport bag rather than a bundled grill solution.
Pros:- Fits three specified Weber Q models.
- Four side pockets are designed to hold 1-pound propane cylinders.
- Front tool pocket separates accessories from the grill compartment.
- Includes both carry handles and an adjustable, removable shoulder strap.
Cons:- Compatibility is limited to the listed Weber Q1000, Q1200, and Q1400 models.
- The grill is not included.
- Water resistance is not specified.
Best for: Weber Q1000, Q1200, and Q1400 owners who travel with tools and 1-pound propane cylinders and want a shoulder-strap option.
Not ideal for: Owners of other grill models or buyers who need a bag with stated water resistance or an included grill.
- Brand:SAMDEW
- Compatible grill models:Weber Q1000, Q1200, Q1400
- Material:Polyester
- Color:Black
- Closure:Double-opening zipper
- Storage:Front tool pocket and four side pockets
- Carrying options:Adjustable removable shoulder strap and handles
- Manufacturer part number:CASD02101
- Items included:1 bag; grill not included
Our verdict“Choose this for a compatible Weber Q grill when organized accessory pockets and two carrying methods matter more than stated water resistance.”
How We Picked
I ranked these options by how clearly their stated purpose matches a buyer’s storage problem: carrying a portable grill, protecting a griddle insert, or storing a grill cover. I gave more weight to named model compatibility and a dedicated use than to a broad category label, since fit is often the difference between a useful carry bag and one that is awkward to load. Portability, likely ease of handling, and the distinction between indoor storage and outdoor protection also shaped the order.
The ranking reflects the range of jobs in this group, not a claim that every product serves the same need. The SAMDEW Weber Q Series bag leads as a focused carry option; the BLACKSTONE and Weber griddle bags follow for their clearly defined griddle uses. The remaining picks address specific grill models or broader portable-grill needs, while the Summit cover-storage bag ranks lower for anyone whose actual goal is carrying a grill. I do not infer weather resistance, internal padding, or extra capacity where the product information does not establish it, so buyers should confirm those details before ordering.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Grill Cover Storage Bag
Before choosing a grill cover storage bag, decide what you need to store and how you plan to move it. The products here span portable grills, tabletop griddles, a griddle insert, and a grill cover itself, so the right pick starts with identifying the item—not just searching by the word “grill.”
Match the Bag to the Exact Item
Start by checking whether the bag is for the grill body, a griddle insert, or a cover that has been removed from the grill. Those are different shapes and jobs, even when product titles use similar language. For model-specific bags, compare the exact grill number and any listed size range against the identification label on your appliance. A near match is not a safe assumption: handles, legs, side shelves, and control knobs can change the packed dimensions. If your model is absent from the compatibility list, measure the item at its widest points and ask the seller to confirm fit. This extra check is more useful than relying on a family name such as “Q Series” alone.
Measure for Loaded, Not Bare, Dimensions
Measure the grill or accessory in the condition you plan to pack it, including any parts that stay attached. Removable shelves or legs may reduce the required space, but only if you are willing to take them off each time. Check bag dimensions against the largest measurement and leave room for a workable closure rather than aiming for a tight squeeze. Too much extra space can let a grill shift during transport, while too little can strain seams or make loading frustrating. Also check whether the bag’s stated dimensions refer to the interior or exterior when that information is available. When measurements are unclear, ask before buying instead of treating a product photo as proof of fit.
Separate Carry Protection From Weather Protection
A carry bag can help with transport and indoor storage without serving as a long-term outdoor cover. Fabric, zippers, seams, and closure design all affect how well a bag handles dust, splashes, and exposure to the elements. Do not infer waterproofing from words such as “cover” or “storage bag”; look for explicit material and care details. If the grill will stay outdoors, use a purpose-built weather cover sized for the assembled grill and store the carry bag separately when possible. If your main concern is keeping a removed cover contained in a garage or vehicle, weather resistance may matter less than easy access and a fit that keeps the folded cover tidy.
Think Through the Carrying Routine
Consider how far you will carry the packed grill and whether you will load it alone. Handle placement, opening size, and the ability to grip the bag comfortably can matter more than a small difference in listed dimensions. For car trips, a simple bag may be enough to keep equipment together and reduce contact with other cargo. For frequent walks to a campsite or tailgate, check for clear information about straps and how the weight is distributed; do not assume every carry bag includes shoulder support. Also account for the grill’s weight, since a bag makes handling easier only when its construction and carrying method suit the load. A product meant for storage at home may be a poor fit for repeated long carries.
Choose Dedicated Space for Accessories
Decide whether you want the bag to hold only the grill or griddle, or whether utensils and detachable parts need to travel with it. A close-fitting bag may be easier to store but leave no room for a scraper, regulator, or cooking surface. Adding loose accessories around a griddle can cause scratches or make the bag harder to close, so use separate protection for sharp or greasy items. Dedicated insert storage, as with the Weber Full-Size Griddle Insert bag, answers a different need from carrying a complete tabletop griddle. If accessory pockets or extra compartments matter, confirm that they are actually listed rather than expecting them based on the product category.
Pay for the Features You Will Use
A higher-cost bag makes sense only if its fit, materials, or carrying features solve a real problem in your routine. A model-specific option can save time and reduce fit uncertainty, while a broader bag may be more useful if you own several compatible pieces of equipment. For occasional garage storage, elaborate carrying features may add little value; for frequent transport, reinforced construction and comfortable handles can matter more. Compare care instructions and whether the bag can be cleaned after contact with dust, grease, or damp equipment. Treat unclear claims as unanswered questions and verify them before purchase. The best choice is the one that fits the item and use case without paying for features you will leave unused.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a grill carry bag as an outdoor grill cover?
Not unless the product information specifically describes it as suitable for outdoor exposure. Carry bags are often meant to contain or transport a grill, and their closures or seams may not keep rain and moisture out. A fitted outdoor cover needs to suit the assembled grill and its exposure, while a carry bag is usually used after the grill has cooled and been prepared for storage. Check the stated material, water-resistance claims, and care instructions rather than relying on the word “cover.” If those details are missing, treat the bag as a storage or transport accessory, not weather protection.
How do I know whether a bag will fit my grill model?
Check the exact model number against the seller’s compatibility list, then compare the listed bag dimensions with your grill. Measure the grill with handles, knobs, legs, and any parts that remain attached during storage. If the product gives a size range, confirm that your specific model—not just its product family—is included. Photos can help show the intended shape, but they do not replace measurements. When dimensions or compatibility are unclear, get confirmation before ordering to avoid a bag that is too tight or unnecessarily loose.
Should I get a separate bag for a griddle insert?
A separate insert bag makes sense when you remove the cooking surface from a grill and want to store or transport it on its own. An insert may have a different shape and handling needs from a complete tabletop griddle, so a grill carry bag may not hold it securely. Keeping it contained can also reduce contact with other equipment in storage, though the bag itself should not be treated as a substitute for cleaning and drying the insert. Check the insert’s dimensions and any included parts against the bag’s stated fit. The Weber Full-Size Griddle Insert bag is the dedicated option in this lineup, unlike the BLACKSTONE 5035, which is intended for tabletop griddles.
Can one bag work for two different portable grills?
Possibly, but only if both grills fit the bag’s interior dimensions and can be secured without excessive movement. A bag listed for a specific model may fit closely but leave little room for another grill, even from the same product family. Compare the larger grill’s packed measurements and check whether protruding controls or handles could press against the bag. If you plan to use one bag for two units, prioritize verified dimensions over a shared brand or similar appearance. A flexible fit can be convenient, but a bag designed around one model is usually the easier choice when fit certainty matters most.
What should I do if the product listing does not say whether the bag is padded or waterproof?
Do not assume either feature is included. Ask the seller for material, padding, seam, and closure details, especially if the grill will travel in a packed vehicle or sit in a damp storage area. If protection from knocks matters, use separate cushioning or select a bag whose padding is clearly specified. If protection from rain matters, choose an explicitly weather-rated cover rather than relying on a carry bag. For indoor storage, basic containment may be enough, but the product should still fit and be suitable for cleaning after normal use.
Conclusion
For most owners of compatible portable Weber Q grills, I would start with the SAMDEW Portable Grill Carry Bag for Weber Q Series as the best overall pick, with the Ajyingasyo Q1000/Q1200/Q1400 bag as another focused model-specific option. For best value, compare the simpler purpose-built carry options—especially the Royal Gourmet CB2101—against your exact grill and the listed features rather than paying for extras you do not need. The best premium choice depends on the task: choose the Weber Full-Size Griddle Insert bag for dedicated insert storage, or the Weber Summit 400-Series cover-storage bag if you need a place for the removed cover. Beginners should prioritize a bag naming their precise grill model and confirm measurements before ordering. For specific needs, pick the BLACKSTONE 5035 for a compatible 17-inch or 22-inch tabletop griddle and the samdew Go-Anywhere bag for that Weber grill. The right choice is the one matched to the item you actually need to store—not simply the bag with the broadest grill-related label.
