I got my large BGE last august and love it. but recently the top wont stay open when you open it up. its almost like the springs are worn out. Any ideas? is that covered in the warranty?

Seems like an assembly issue to me. I don't think my egg uses the springs when fully open, the lid is 'leaning back' a bit, held on by the straps. In fact, some with loose bands have had the lid fall off and break. :(
Did your egg come assembled?

Any high heat cooks lately? Are all the bolts tight enough? The level is a good idea.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

So, it won't stay up? They make a pill for that.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada
