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.
