I am not sure if anyone else has this problem, and I hope I describe it correctly. My issue is with one of the supports that hold the charcoal grate up. I think there is (4) of them. THe one on the top, towards the table has kind of bent inward towards the middle. WHen I put the grate int, it can get caught in there. I have tried pushing it back in place..but it does not really work, it kind of springs back to the out of shape spot. Does anyone have an easy fix for this? Short of welding it.
