Yesterday I bought a Jumbo Joe from my local hardware store with the intention of using it at the office. We have a decent office space but out outdoor / grilling space is limited. So I brought my Weber portable table that hasn't been seeing a whole lot of use at home lately along with a spare charcoal chimney, bag of fuel, and my spare set of grilling tools. My colleagues and I have agreed that every Friday would be a designated grilling day for lunch. So as you can imagine I was excited to unbox this bad boy and get it assembled which was actually pretty simple as it took all of about 15 minutes.
Here's where I'm not very happy. The lid dampers on the JJ no longer come pre-assembled from the factory and if you install the damper to the lid with any amount of authority not only will it not turn, but the damper will actually scratch and dig into the lid. If you loosen the nut to the point where the damper will actually move it is way too loose. Has anyone else experienced this issue with your JJ and what did you do to remedy the problem? I don't really want to order a new lid from Weber I just want to be able to use the damper correctly. Thanks in advance.
