You can compensate to some degree for a bent lid by closing off the top vent, but it's a pain in the ass. I end up replacing them at least every two years because of a bent lid issue.

This is one of several reasons an Aussie Walkabout is better. I was all about the weber for years until I got the aussie as a gift. I'm sure many will vehemently disagree, but it is the best charcoal grill ever made.
