Yesterday right as I was approaching 300, I went to put my PR in, hit the latch and the top piece went flying with a loud pop! No damage and the cook went perfect.

Anybody else have this happen?

    What’s that behind the prime rib? Cooking up some brains for the zombi relatives dropping in for the holidays? /s

    How about some photos of the problem?

    What is the “top vent piece?”

    That description makes me think you’re talking about the vent on top of the dome that you use to control the temperature.

    The body of your post makes it sound like you’re talking about the mechanism that latches the lid down, which has a small adjustment screw and a floating piece in it that tends to wiggle loose on people and fall off.

    Or, is it something else entirely, like the hinge on the lid?

    Some more context is needed, which is probably why you aren’t getting any helpful answers.
