My lid doesn't fit snug to the grill base; it's uneven and leaves spaces open. Is this normal? Or did I just get a bent lid/base?

Once you use the grill it should fit a little better... Also put it together (Legs lock on the lid) while it is still warm NOT HOT just warm. The metal is not heavy weight so it is alittle (warped if you will). However, this is one of the best grills of its kind. It weighs less than HALF of the other grills of the same size. If you still have issues. contact Char-Broil and they will work with you.Hope this helps.

You probably got a bent lid base if it seems like an issue. Mine is great! It fits pretty nicely. The only open spots are the vents. But to be honest when i use the grill, i put it on diagonally so that air can get to the fuel. In all of my cases, the flame went out every time when the grill was fully covered. So even if it is a little bent, you should be ok. But by all means return it and get a perfect one!

Pam, there is a little hole at the bottom of each grill that I lined up. Once that was lined up, I held the space by each clip together (pretty tightly) and it went right over the grills. But I believe you have to have it lined but almost perfectly and that's why I based it off of. I hope that helps.

I haven't had this problem but I suggest you lay grill face down on a flat surface and make sure it's not warped also try and see if the lip is curled in somewhere Good luck

I'm sry you're having a problem but I don't think I can help you for I didn't have an issue. My lids of allsizes/shapes fit well. Perhaps your lids are thicker than most? Maybe you can manipulate the rack but if you do that, you may void your return if you need to do that. Again, sry I couldn't be of more help.

My lid just developed a hole in it, too. I'm just curious if your lid is sporting a perfect circle right in the center? (That's what mine looks like.)

Tight-fitting lid = -0- access and -0- breeding....just make sure it is well-sealed. Ours certainly is a tight fit and no accidental shift possible if you've put it on per manufacturer's instructions.

no charles it is too loose a fit its a nice grill i put a piece of tin over the grates after cooking to slow down burning of charcoal.

Then you should return it. When rivets are installed on anything, they should be tight and there is no way of tightening them unless you drill them out and install new ones. With this being cookware, it is in your best interest to return it and request for a replacement. I bought this for my neighbor and have not had this problem.

Yeah, we had that same issue. We tried several different approaches and currently have it 'curled' in the opposite direction and have a large rubber band holding it. Hopefully this will finally make the large lid useful.

I suggest you measure the grates currently installed and compare the size to the ones you plan on buying. I made the mistake of buying replacement grates only to find out there were multiple sizes. I had to return the wrong ones to Lowe's and buy the correct size. No help from Weber.

I have this cover and a 54in grill. The cover is not snug but I wouldn't consider it sloppy. There's extra room on the sides, and it pools on the floor a little. I'm very happy with it.

The grill fits snuggly inside the outer ring. You need to buy a small tool, like a metal dental pick easily found at a hardware store.. stick it in a hole at the edge and the grill will come out easily.

Mine does not fit snug, but there is no gap. You won't get the proper temperature if it doesn't fit right. There should be a rubber gasket on the edge of the lid.

Not sure , what are the dimensions of your grill? I have a pretty big grill and it really fits nicely.. check out the measurements on the product against your measurement. hope this helps Mike

If you keep the outlet grills clean the level shouldn't come anywhere near the lid. You also need to ensure the tank is level. The base has adjusting lugs that need to be adjusted to suit the tank it is fitted to. It has about 8 adjustments to suit all tanks. The main thing is to ensure it is leaning more in towards the main tank than leaning backwards so the water flows.

Thanks for replies. The burner is usually the first thing to rust out so I will look for a different grill.
