Smoke leaking heavily from lid edges and door seams

Safety first: Allow the grill to cool before adjusting hinges or replacing gaskets.

• Inspect gasket: Check the lid gasket for cracks, missing sections, or compression loss. Clean off grease and debris.
• Check for obstructions: Ensure no tools, probes, or debris are caught between the lid and body.
• Adjust hinges: Tighten hinge bolts and adjust alignment so the lid closes evenly on all sides.
• Replace gasket: If the gasket is worn, remove the old material and adhesive, clean the surface, and install a new Char‑Broil compatible lid gasket.
