Winter? Ya mean the time of year that my AC's don't run all day? Robert

It is not needed. The mini dome top vent prevents rain/snow from getting in. The base and dome are matching lipped surfaces so even if there was a blowing rain water would have to flow past the gasket and up and over the lip to get into the main body. The gasket is food safe silicone so it won't absorb moisture. And lastly the bottom vent assembly is just that - at the bottom plus it is set into a frame so water can't really get in there. Yes they are the most water tight kamado on the market. After you spend so much it would be hard to see it buried in snow. Not that I would ever have to worry. If we get 1/4" of snow once per winter it's close to a miracle and mine is on a covered porch anyway.
