My lid sticks shut

Unknown

My lid sticks shut much the way the castiron daisy wheel does. Is there an easy fix for this? Any input is greatly appriciated.

Duner,
With such small amount of info, I will try to answer. If in a cold climate, if frozen, put cube lighters in ash door and light after removing cap from chimney. 1 or 2 should do the trick. Some people put aluminum foil between top and bottom to prevent this from happening. You could also have a shrunken gasket with the glue remaining outside the gasket and it is sealing. Look this over very carefully and carefully remove the excess glue with a razor scraper. You might also have gotten sauce or grease on the gasket. Clean with mild soapy water, without scrubbing. Hope this helps. Occasionally, I put Miss Daisy inside on the grill and crank the heat up for a half hour or so, this should help. Others have soaked in water/ammonia solution and rinsed well after two or three hours.
