Possible Causes
Worn or missing door gasket, Warped lid or cook chamber, Loose hinge bolts, Misaligned lid latch
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the grill to cool before adjusting hinges or seals.
- Inspect gasket: Check the perimeter gasket on the lid and body for cracks, flattening, or missing sections. Replace with a Timberwolf Door Gasket if damaged.
- Check lid alignment: Loosen hinge bolts slightly, adjust the lid position for even contact, and retighten.
- Adjust latch (if equipped): Tighten or reposition the latch to pull the lid snugly against the gasket.
- Address warping: Minor warping can sometimes be compensated with thicker gasket material; severe warping may require lid or body replacement.
