I am assuming this thing is supposed to sit better than this and actually close all the way?
Something I’m doing wrong?

Yes, the lid should seal to the Joetisserie frame. I have a classic 1 with no air hinge so I can be of more help than that.

If it’s not sitting flush you can move it around until it is. Also, the airlift hinge might need to be loosened.

Take out the divide and conquer rack, slide the whole thing back. You don’t want the front of the joetisserie ring flush with the front. You should see an even(ish) amount of the gasket underneath the ring all the way around.

In my experience, you need to put the back of the Joetisserie in front of the rack divider on the Flexible Cooking Rack. It’s too far back.

As others mentioned, if it still will not make a decent seal after moving it around you may need to turn the nut putting pressure on the spring in the hinge that counters the weight of the lid. I needed to do that. My lid now feels a little heavier when I start to open it but stays open fine and does seal well on the joetisserie.

Remove the divide and conquer rack. see if it slides around to sit flush then.

Aside from the other feedback tips, I also put a split of firewood on my handle, just to keep some downward pressure on the lid and get a better gasket seal.
