Kettle Not Sitting Level

I noticed during a cook the other day that my grill was wan't sitting level, when I went to add water to the pan is was showing that is was leaning to the left and back. I noticed that one of the back legs, where it goes from round to flat was bent. After the cook I got it straightened back out and now it sits fine left to right but it still sits with the back lower then the front. Is this normal? Or should I contact Weber about sending me some new legs?

Sometimes the plastic cap on the front leg does not get seated all the way and also it's possible that the leg itself is not 100% seated.
Best tool to use is a rubber mallet to gently tap the parts home.
 
Depends it your sitting on level ground. If your on a deck than that should be level, concrete patios and driveways pitch away from the house.
You could put some metal washers in the leg flanges to make it level. I set mine on my driveway and I know that has a 1/4" per ft pitch. The only time it bugs me is when I use a CI griddle or pan for breakfast and the eggs or oil for hash browns hangs on one side. A few shims and a 2' level makes it right.
