...but, on a cook today I noticed they didn't.
What is the easiest way to adjust this? My two big bolts in the back bent during initial assembly (as stated as normal in assembly instructions) so I'm guessing I can't loosen those without having to back them out and replace them.
I noticed it when I closed it up...
Had to make a compromise for today since there is already a cook in progress. I'm sure this stresses something that isn't supposed to be stressed, but I had to do something and a bucket of water on the handle seemed to do the trick!
NOTE - I have since lowered the bucket so it is just off the ground and away from the vent. No heat contact.

Was it holding temp before you noticed it and put the bucket on it?

Nice Gerry-Rig... LOL ... If mine gets out of wack I unbolt it reset it on the base and tighten ... I did put a small shim in the backend that allowed the top to push forward just a bit and it created enough forward weighting to recenter it.

I think it self corrected. Here is the same gasket at the end of the cook....
Maybe the 2.5 gallon water bucket had something to do with it.

My guess is that your lower band got hot and slipped a little. I had the same thing happen to me on a 400 degree cook a month or so ago. The next day, I loosened the bolt a little and slid up the band, then gave the band bolts a couple more turns tighter. It's been fine since. I replaced my base over the summer and I hadn't checked the bolts in a while.L x2, M, S, Mini and a Blackstone 36. She says I have enough now....eggAddict from MN!
