Willygoat Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I was at my buddies house who owns a Bayou Classic that I inspected more than I had in the past since I got a Kamado Joe and I was telling him about the trick in rotating the top vent to keep the pivot point in a straight line running front to back on the lid to keep it in place while opening the top. He showed me that the Bayou had a bolt in the front that apparently kept it in place. My question is, is there a trick to keeping the top vent in place on a Bayou, or do you have to use the front bolt, etc.? I have no experience with the Bayou other than a few minutes looking at it. Let me know what you fellas do about the top vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addertooth Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 If the upper damper is cast iron, you can also use a strong magnet as a "door stop" do hold it in place. Weekend Griller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowe Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I find this top vent annoying. Overall, happy with this grill. Great supplement to my Bkk. Just seems like they got lazy with the top vent design. I was thinking that if a smoke wares vent would fit I would have solved my issue. Anybody know if it fits? Or any mods to make it work. http://www.wholesalepatiostore.com/images/EWVCphoto.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
