Hi All,
My firebox's hinge "pins" are gone so now the hinge no longer hold the cover on. Anyone have this before? Any ideas for a fix?

I have not read about that on this board. I would call Steve, the owner of the company, and speak with him about it. See what he may be able to provide in regards to answers/resolutions.

I agree with Jeremy...I have been a member of the smokin-it community for 8 years, and I can't recall anyone posting about this problem. I would definitely contact Steve and see what he suggests.

I know Steve has replacement boxes. A quick fix might be as close as your nearest hardware store. Brazing rods might serve well as a replacement hinge pin. There is also wire rods available. All reasonably priced. I suggest this if your unit is over 3 years old.
