How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the grill is cool before tightening any external hardware.
- 1. Tighten fasteners: Use appropriate tools to snug all bolts and screws on side shelves, handles, and legs.
- 2. Add lock washers or threadlocker: Where bolts repeatedly loosen, add lock washers or a small amount of medium‑strength threadlocker (keeping away from high‑heat interior areas).
- 3. Replace stripped hardware: If threads are damaged, replace bolts and, if necessary, install repair nuts or brackets.
