I bought a really nice, used Louisiana Grills kamado on craigslist. The version they sold at Costco a while back. Heavy, well built, good accessories.
I'm having a bit of trouble getting the lid to stay all the way open, and I think it is the hinge. The hinge has springs, keeps the kid about halfway open. Looking at the mechanism, the pivot post on the hinge has a cutout that makes me think it is supposed to move when trying to move the lid all the way open. It was squeaky as hell, and some 3-in-1 fixed that, but it doesn't slide out of it's slotted detent into the lower detent when trying to move the lid all the way open, which is what I think it is supposed to do.
Anyone familiar with this, or mechanically minded, hope you'll comment on what I'm missing. :)
