The Crown Verity WG36 is a purpose-built wind guard designed to fit directly onto the MCB36 and MCB72 barbecue units. Its function is straightforward: to act as a physical barrier against wind interference, helping the grill maintain a more consistent cooking temperature across the full grilling surface during outdoor service.

Wind is one of the more disruptive variables in outdoor catering. Even a moderate crosswind can create significant heat variation across a grill — leading to uneven cook results, extended cook times, and higher gas consumption as the burners work harder to compensate. For operations using the MCB36 or MCB72 regularly in open or semi-exposed conditions, fitting the correct wind guard is a practical step rather than an optional extra.

The operational benefits are straightforward:

More consistent heat distribution across the grilling surface
Reduced gas waste caused by wind-induced heat loss
More predictable cook times during busy outdoor service periods
Better operator control in exposed or variable-weather environments

This accessory is well suited to operators running outdoor catering events, terrace service, or barbecue stations in exposed yard or garden settings where the MCB36 or MCB72 is in regular use. It is a model-specific fitment — the WG36 is designed for the MCB36 and MCB72 only and should not be assumed to fit other Crown Verity units.

Frequently asked questions

Which Crown Verity barbecue units is the WG36 wind guard compatible with?

The WG36 is designed specifically for use with the Crown Verity MCB36 and MCB72 barbecue units. It is a model-specific accessory and should not be assumed to fit other units in the Crown Verity range — if you are unsure about compatibility with your existing equipment, it is worth checking before ordering.

Is a wind guard necessary if the barbecue is used under a canopy or in a semi-sheltered area?

In genuinely sheltered settings with minimal airflow, the impact of wind on grill performance is reduced. However, many semi-exposed sites — such as open-sided marquees, terrace areas, or yard spaces — still experience enough air movement to affect heat consistency, particularly at peak service. Operators in those conditions typically find the wind guard a worthwhile addition.

Does fitting the WG36 affect the cooking capacity or usable grilling area of the MCB36 or MCB72?

The WG36 is designed to protect the cooking environment without restricting the grilling surface itself. It fits around the unit rather than over the grill, so operators should not expect any meaningful reduction in cooking capacity or access during service.
