Hey guys, just bought a new WSM 14 on ebay (Brand New in Box).
When it got here, the box was obviously damaged pre-shipping because there was already a huge hole on the box tapped up with a thick cardboard prior to shipping. My fear was realized when i opened it up and saw one of the bottom vents ( 1 of the 3) was folded all the way inward. Seeing this damage, i fear that the bottom section/mid-section/the lid may have been bent in shipping causing one or 2 of them to be out of round. I laid them on top of each other and can feel a little bit of wiggle between the bottom section and the mid + the mid and the lid.
When you guys got your WSM's new, how perfect did the 3 sections fit on top of each other?
(i know that after cooking a few things, the oil will form a good seal, but i'm worried if i have to refund this thing before i do a test run.
