Not sure what forum to post this in . . .
Last Wednesday during a severe thunderstorm, my WSM blew across the patio, slammed into the house, and rolled out into the yard.
I was able to get the pieces back together, but one of the lower vents was damaged. The stop tabs are now flat against the vent. It still closes completely (although there is a small gap between the vent and the charcoal bowl). It only opens to about 80% though.
Anyone had these tabs bend like that before? I wanted to check here before I try to straighten them, because I fear they may break.
