Dropped nearly $3k on a new Kamado Joe v2— misaligned hinge/seal and can't reach temp out of the box. Any advice?

Switched over from two frustrating Traegers hoping for a premium experience, but my out-of-the-box setup has been rough:

Hinge & Seal Alignment: The dome and seal aren't sitting flush (photos attached). Do I just need to loosen and adjust the bands/hinge tension, or is this a defect?

Reaching Temp: Couldn't get it up to initial burn-in temps using just the stock setup and standard charcoal.

For a ~$2,300 cooker, having to immediately consider $400 in aftermarket accessories (charcoal basket, Inkbird controller fan, extra starters) feels ridiculous. Am I missing something basic on the initial airflow setup, or did I get a dud?

Free private room in Riverton for a student — in exchange for ~10 hrs/week of help around the house

Hey — I've got a spare room at my place in Riverton and I'd rather trade it for a little help than rent it out.

The deal: your own private room, all utilities included (about $800/month of value), no rent. In exchange, roughly 10 hours a week keeping the house running:

Meal prep a couple times a week (simple, healthy — I buy all the groceries)

One weekly grocery run from my list, on my dime

A little laundry and tidy-up of the common areas

A few things to know:

Brand-new house, calm and clean. You'd share a bathroom with one other tenant (a nurse). I also have my daughter here part-time (~10 days a month).

Month-to-month, no long lock-in — we both just make sure it's a good fit.

Given the setup (shared bath with a female tenant + my kid here), I'm looking for a female roommate.

Ideal for a student, nurse, or anyone reliable and clean happy to trade a bit of housework for free rent.

If that sounds like a fit, DM me or comment and tell me a little about yourself and when you'd be looking to move. Thanks!
