Check out my pics on the lid problem size wise:
Can't see too much on the thrid pic, but if you look close enough on the first and second pics you can see where I tried to mash down the lid so it would fit. It did but I didn't like that it just sat on top of the barrel rim. So my fix was to add 4 skinny bolts and some furnace gasket to make the seal and keep it from falling or moving on the drum. Oops no pics of gasket so here it is: Here you can see the aligning bolts and the gasket held on by high temp red silicone engine gasket maker stuff. Hope all this helps on a solution...... Paul B |

So, not only do the bolts secure and align the lid, it can double as a lid hanger to the side of the barrel. With the weber and knock off lids that don't quite fit this may be a viable fix. Although the lids may have to be mashed somewhat as I had to do to mine from Arctic Products. No pics yet, so it actually didn't happen, but it does work well it there were pics.
