I’m having a problem with the old 7409 one touch system. When I picked up my SSP the blades in the fully closed position didn’t cover the vent holes fully.
I took it apart, cleaned it a bit and put it back just to test it. However, the same problem happened after a few sweeps so I wouldn’t be able to fully shut down after a cook. Anyone have any theories about why this would be happening?
I resorted to putting in the newer style 7444 sweeps in for the time being and using stainless cable ties to hold the basket in place. Really hate the solution but it is functional.
I’ve been noticing after a rain that there is water in the ash bucket. Is the lift and turn style of one touch system just prone to that? I’ve never had this issue on the squeeze and pull down style.
I plan on doing a full restore on this grill sometime in the future but it came with a full tank of propane so I’m waiting until that runs out before going crazy on it.
Thanks for reading.
