My lid is misaligned, it has an "underbite". How do I fix it
Comments

Some folks will be able to help.
I just want to know, what the heck is your name supposed to be? -
I am a gator (g8r) fan and an attorney. It is my handle on the mudlizard.com The Virtual Swamp
-
more info would help
a. can you post a pic?
b. how long have you had your egg?
c. how long has it been out of whack?
d. did you screw around with it?
there was a thread about this in the last day or two if you scroll down.
make sure bands are tightened properly check bge site or your dvd [i forget which] and always check the naked whiz he knows everything
here is the post -
Had it about 4 months. I have not screwed with it. I noticed it yesterday, but suspect the problem has existed for some time as I have torched two gaskets. I'll check the forum and the bge web site. Thanks
-
4 months / 2 gaskets ??? call your dealer. have him do it and watch. if they cannot make it work call the mothership. pics are helpful, photobucket is easy [and if that is not workable you can e-mail me the pics and i will post them for you]

Check your bands to see if they are tight up against the lip like the photo Bill posted. If not you may have to loosen the bolts and ensure the bands are tight up against the lip. Changed my gasket today and used the weight of the Egg along with a clamp reversed to spread instead of clamping to adjust my band which had moved over a period of time.
-
well frank that is two days in a row i have picked up valuable techniques from you. yesterdays emoticon and the clamp thing today.
thank you i will have another beer in your honor.

you are very adept at non verbal comunication.
next one is for you but the 4th at 6.7% will adversly effect my communication skills and possibly my staying upright as well -
Thanks, I think that did it.

Frank,
I've been egging for twenty years and this is one of the best ideas I've seen on this board. Thanks for sharing the clamp idea.

Me being of Italian descent; I think the handle is appropriate and I'm sure Don Corleone would smile.
