Lid does not close evenly or rubs against the body, causing heat and smoke leaks.

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

• Check hinges: Inspect hinge bolts and brackets at the back of the lid. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Adjust alignment: Loosen hinge bolts slightly, reposition the lid to center it on the cookbox, then retighten while holding it in place.
• Check cart level: Ensure the grill is on a flat, stable surface. Adjust casters or move the grill if necessary.
• Inspect for warping: If the lid or cookbox is visibly warped and cannot be aligned, replacement of the affected assembly may be required.
