So I used my new 22.5 WSM yesterday for the second time, and the knob on the door fell apart. The metal threads inside the plastic handle popped out and rendered the entire assembly worthless. (New one on the way, but still...)
My point being, am I the only one who thinks the assembly is kinda cheesy? It's loose, and I used it on my SS door and realized all that play prevents the door from sealing well at the very top.
And so, has anyone come up with a mod for the handle to snug it up while not overstressing the whole thing and making it crumble like a cookie?
