Can you leave it on the handle all the time, through rain and snow?we don't cover our grill because we use it every night.

We do leave the handle light on the grill through summer and winter. We use the grill year-round, however, we do cover the grill as we are located in Chicago. As with everything, I would expect the light will last longer if covered when not in use.

I have left it outside in the summer with a plastic cover over it, but it folds up nicely and I hang it in my garage for the winter, I suppose it could be left outside during the winter if you covered it with a plastic grill cover.

Yes,you can leave it out in the rain on, works fine. But you should put it away for winter before it freezes.

yes, the handle gets a little hot when you have it in for a long time, but just be careful when removing it. I heat it in the microwave every so often.

I have had it on the grill since we bought it and it rains and snows in Indiana and it has held up very well. My husband loves it!

I leave mine outside all year round. I plug it in as soon as there is a nip in the air but as others have said it does not "heat" the water, it just keeps it from freezing. Our temps this winter have been well below zero and I noticed some ice on the water but usually it is OK. It is exposed to all types of weather elements from heat to rain to snow and there is no trouble. Racoons, possums, birds, and cats have all come to get a drink from the bowl all year. You do have to monitor the water level.

You can leave it outside, but I do turn mine over to avoid freezing which does not allow it to work during that part of the year.

I'm not sure but I wouldn't risk getting too wet. I'm sure a little rain is ok. We grilled in a light mist and it was fine. Usually when we grill we have an umbrella, but if you are wanting to set it down on a shelf beside the grill I would recommend putting a bowl or something over it, to keep it dry.

Not sure what you mean by stored. Mine sits outside on a table, but I have a balcony overhead. It does get wet when it rains. It will stay outside until October and then I'll put it in my storage facility. I wouldn't leave it uncovered outside over the winter. There is one drawback of leaving it outside now - there are lots of spider webs and leaves. I need to whip down the grill, outside and inside, before I use it.

I do not keep mine outside all year round. I only put it on the table for a meal and then take it off. I think if the UV light got on it the lifespan of the cover would be limited. Also, I had to cut the hole in the center for the umbrella. This has worked out OK for the last two years.

I don't know if it can because it doesn't specify....I would say not to use it outdoors because it can get damaged by the weather/elements. It doesn't seem sturdy enough to leave outdoors 24/7, but if you put it out only during the day and bring it in if bad weather occurs, I suppose it might be fine. However, I would advise getting one specifically made for outdoors.

Yes I use it all the time. Just have to be careful when u take it out as the handle will be v hot.

I have used it outdoors without any problem. I would not leave it out in the weather. I keep mine coiled up in a box on the patio. I have not seen anything wrong with this. I will take in inside when it gets cold.

Yes. It can be left outside in all weather. I left mine out all spring, summer and fall and had no issues with the weather.

I leave mine on. It wouldn't be too hard to remove. I also clamped turnbuckles to the frame of the canopy to the handlebars of the snowblower to keep the canopy stabile. This works great especially in a blizzard.

mine stays on grill all the time. I have grilled in the rain and the light is fully functional. I do cover my grill (and light) when I am not using the grill.

No. The handle stays cool enough. Usually not cooking at very high temperature with this non stick grill pan.
