Hopper lid does not close properly or rubs against the body.

Safety first: Ensure the grill is off and cool before adjusting metal parts.

• Tighten hinges: Check and tighten all hopper lid hinge screws.
• Adjust alignment: Loosen hinge screws slightly, reposition the lid for best fit, then retighten.
• Inspect for bending: If the hinge or lid is visibly bent, carefully straighten if possible or replace the affected part.
• Verify seal: Ensure the lid closes fully to keep pellets dry.
