No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

After every use. It's to keep rain and dust and other detritus off the grill so it's ready to go when you are. If you only put it on at the end of the season you're likely to have a rusty grill covered in dirt way quicker
It has its own metal cover I lift up to use
The bbq lid is not a cover, it is part of the cooking apparatus.
It is both, but like anything else exposure to the elements means some kind of replaceable protection is a good idea. Similar to parking a car in a garage or those car covers people use to protect a car parked for a long period of time.
OP calling the BBQ lid a cover is like calling the roof of a car a cover.
It covers the grill itself, serving as both a way to keep the internal temp where you want it and to protect the inner parts from the elements like the retractable roof on a convertible.
If you left the lid off the grill and other internal parts would would get rusty a lot faster. A BBQ lid does both, although a real cover is better as it also protects the lid.
Just like many people keep their cars parked outside, but the outside is protected better if it is usually stored under cover. The trick is to get a cover that doesn’t trap moisture inside.
That lid is there to trap heat during cooking. Protecting it is important too.
In that case at the end of the season
What an absolute waste of bandwidth.
Hmm quite
Covers just trap moisture under them.
I've had as many rust out with a cover as without. They certainly don't help.
