Hey y'all, hope you're all having a great Christmas! I've got two questions for the Club today: So I have a Kettle or two that needs to have it's lid bent back into place so it can fit flush on the grill as the dome is slightly warped for the lack of a better term. Also, I have one kettle with a slightly bent handle bracket that needs straightening. Anyone got tips on how to do these without damaging the enamel? Thanks in advance!

If the lid needs minimal adjustment.  Stand it on its edge on a padded surface and press slightly as you roll it. Go slow and test shape and fit often.  The bowl may need adjustment also so don't forget to check it.  Good luck.
