How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the grill is cool before adjusting hinges or latches.

Steps to correct lid alignment:

  • 1. Tighten hinge hardware: Check and snug all hinge bolts and screws.
  • 2. Adjust hinge position: Loosen mounting bolts slightly and shift the lid to achieve even gaps, then retighten.
  • 3. Inspect for warping: If the lid is visibly warped, replacement may be required to restore proper sealing.
  • 4. Adjust latch (if equipped): Modify latch catch position to ensure secure but not overly tight closure.
