Anybody tried this before?
You can straighten them with a heat gun and some trigger clamps. This is either end of the LH table on mine. It's caused by the heat from the LH side of the cookbox (note that they are bowed in the same area). Both of the end slats of mine were bowed. These are the "before" pics. They seem to take a "set", so you might have to do it more than once. My first go-round was done cautiously so I likely did not get them hot enough to remove the "memory" aspect.I moved the one bent due to heat slat from the RH side to the LH side. The LH side slats are in worse shape than the others. It might have had more sun exposure.
I should report comments like these. Then again, Chris A would probably just laugh as he went outside without any special preparation, coat, hat or expectation of numbing painful cold.Temps are in the mid-80s here in the south of California. Keeping the house closed up during the day to keep it cool.
It's a pain, but sanding them will make them look a lot nicer.
