[TR] TR3A Grill Opening

[Carl TR]

interesting - I have two - with almost exactly the same dimensions as yours. 
So, as someone else stated, it appears that the opening as been 'squashed' 
about 3/4".

Now, I just need to figure out how to force the mouth open a bit without 
creating havoc.   Tom - I'll take you up on your offer to call tomorrow 
morning.

Thanks to all...
Carl
