 Base was cracked. Put new base in nest. Put bands and top on. Top is back about a 1/4 in,  You see the base gasket  by the handle. How do you adjust it? Thanks

    First, if you aren’t having temperature control issues, I wouldn’t worry about it. 1/4 is nothing to worry about, at least I wouldn’t and don’t with my large. If you search the forum, you will find many answers.

    This. If you aren't having any issues with your cooks, just roll with it. 

    I have tried to fix a similar underbite on my LBGE a couple of times in years past. Thought I had it done the last time I messed with it. Now I realize that its not worth the angst. No issues with temp control, and food still tastes good :) 

    And not a problem worth spending $$ on new bands for,  IMO.
