I got my egg from eggtoberfest and te handle is off. I am a little afraid to screw it up if I try to fix it so I'm hoping someone can help. Also seems like lid is not lined up. Overlaps about 1/4 in back. See pics.

    All that is wrong is the dome was not aligned before someone tightened the top bolt. Just back the nut off enough so that you can turn the dome enough to align it. As for the 1/4" in the back - nothing to worry about. These are ceramic pieces, but not fine China and due to manufacturing and handling before firing while the clay is still damp they can get out-of-round. BTW when you retighten those nuts keep tightening until the bolts start to bend - yours look pretty straight to me. Good luck!
