Dome not properly seated

Hey all,

I noticed the other day that my lid is not seated completely flat against the base.  There's an 1/8" gap at the hinge and I was going to re-attach the plastic "shipping retainer bars", loosen the carriage bolts, and readjust the upper and lower bands in hopes of getting the dome to seat flat.  Here's the rub...I cant get the retainer bars to fit over the bolts as they did when it was unpacked, they're close but just off.  I was thinking either A: ream the holes out until they fit over the bolts or B: use plastic zip ties pulled tight to lock it all in place.

I'd appreciate any advise on getting my dome to fit properly as I plan to smoke my first racks of ribs tomorrow and hate to think of all that heat loss due to the gap.

Have a question for the powers that be (aka the Moderators)...

I write a outdoor blog that occasionally includes a piece about something cooked on my BGE.  Is posting a link to that entry OK here?  Got my hand slapped by a new moderator on another BBQ board after posting links recently even though I'd posted links many times in the past with no objections by the other moderators.

I am attempting to post, but the formatting bar above the text entry box is greyed out. Anyone know how to fix this? I also note that the site keeps signing me out after I try to create a new topic. All of this is on an iPad.

Has anyone used a Pyrex glass casserole dish on the Egg?  I have a clay one and think it should handle heat up to 400 or 500, but was wondering about Pyrex.  Thinking of doing a casserole on the Egg sometime.

I have been looking at Big Green Eggs for many years. I have just retired and am going to treat myself and buy one. There only 2 of us and I know a Medium would be large enough for us for 90% of the time! but worry about the other 10% when entertaining or family dinners. Anyone out there that has bought a medium and regretted not going for the large? Any comments on this from anyone? Thanks.

Hey everyone! New to the forum, but per the questions and ideas, it's exactly why I joined! Had my egg for approximately a year and a half. I have not changed my rim felt liner yet and was wondering when you should. The egg still cooks awesome but wondering if I'm losing heat?

New BBQ thermometer...

Hey all,

I just got a new Maverick Redi Check digital thermometer but I seem to be having issues. My dome temp on LBGE is saying 210 maybe, but the thermometer is reading 268-275 on the grill grate. Meat is cooking wonderfully, but I guess I wanted to make sure if this was normal of if I have messed up on my first go around :).

Thanks in advance eggers!

Meat prices

Hey all, Through work I receive the Kipplinger Ag forecast. The last forecast is for significant increases in meat prices through 2015. If you have the ability to stock up at current lower prices I would do so. Main reason is the impact of the drought and the pork virus. The limited good news is there appears to be a new vaccine for the pork virus which should eventually help pork prices.

Mentioned Bentons bacon above. If you've never had it, you need to order some. Bentons is a small smokehouse in Tenn. Gormet magazine votes it best bacon in America. Heavy smoked and cured. I've been ordering for last 5 yrs. It's so intense that it is a better cooking bacon than breakfast bacon. Best I've ever had.

Im technically impaired but i'll try to take pics and post.

So I am debating on whether to get a cover for my XLR BGE or not. I have had it for about 6 months now and was wondering how much will a cover protect the Egg?

So the other night I was putting some steaks on my large BGE and I like grilling them at about 500 degrees, but for some odd reason I couldn't get the temp that high without opening the top all the way...I just don't get why it didn't get as hot as it normally does...HELP!?!?!

I have had the green egg for 3 years now and once in a while it will heat up to 700 degrees, However, most times I am lucky to get 300 degrees???

I clean the bottom out ......I think that my charcoal, kept in its original bag may absorb moisture?? Any thoughts, suggestions...Thank you
