Hey everyone – I inherited this green egg from my grandad and when I was cleaning it up I realized the lid is crooked. Is this an easy fix? How do I fix this? I know nothing all help is appreciated!!

There’s a guy on YouTube who can help. But I had the same problem. The gen 1 hinges are probably toast.

Take it apart, clean everything, and put it back together. I’ve done this 3 times in the 12 years I’ve owned mine.

Hinges look bent. Loosen them on the top dome. It should sit flat on the bottom dome. Then retighten the top band. It looks bent so you’d be better off getting a new hinge/band assembly.
Photos from the back of the hinge would help more.

Your hinges are done for, time for a new set. This isn’t like a slight under-bite…
