I have a Bar b q pit, that was built back in the 70's. It has a grill opening of about 4 ft. plus. over the years the angle iron has deteriated and expanded the normal 3/8" joint to at least a 1",thus causing the chimney to tilt away at least 5 degrees out of plumb. My suggestion to my friend was to replace the angle iron without breaking down the complete chimney.Does this sound like a logical solution and if so what would be the best way to do it. If not, how would you remedy the problem.
