Looks like a giant venturi to me! Be careful of hot coals!

Cool, where did you guys meet? Here are more pics of the "vintage platinum." I came up with that, it's not the original name btw. Ed says it looks like an authentic Weber product with original black paint. He also says the wheels are similar to a imperial sequoia and that this is the second one...

Ed, are you still curating for the Barbecue Collectors Society? http://southernfood.org/sofab/?page_id=812 http://collectingclubs.com/Sho...ub.asp?ID=6294&fmt=1 Shaun, judging by the wheels that looks like a different Weber Custom.

Close up of Ed's poster: The railing mounted kettle and Seville with wheels differ from the other 50 year timeline.

Yeah, Jeff has quite the collection!

The white ornate table is called the "Seville" and the green marbled one is the "Custom Bar-B-Q-Kettle," found here: http://www.webergrillrestauran...ut/webertimeline.pdf

Ed, can we get a closer pic of the poster here?

Hi Folks, I am helping Ed Reilly post pics of his collection. He posting in the trading post today about his 1880, and the rarity doesn't stop there! He has the 1880, Garden Kettle, Teal 4 leg SJ, Simpsons SJ, amongst others. Great collection, Ed! Vintage platinum! Ed...

Do all Bar-B-Kettles have the metal side handles?

I bet they were photoshopped or spray painted for the cover. They are way too bright and metallic. They do look good though!

Try the minion method with the hot coals at the bottom. This way the ash won't clog the remaining coals as they fall. Also make sure the charcoal is well packed. Is is possible your charcoal absorbed moisture?

Wow! Great colors, wsm mods, and wooden handles! I like your taste.

That's a beauty. Congrats.

It's all done to save costs. It's amazing enough that the kettles are still made in the USA. Weber needed to update their image and reflect the modern tastes of the customer. otherwise they just wouldn't stay profitable. Many Of the grills on the market have whiz bang features like the Stok...

It looks great! Just high heat paint the chipped spots so it doesn't rust and it still has a decade left in it.

Built an SJS smoker today. I need to make the charcoal ring and probe grommet tomorrow. I call the new smoker Android, since when you put the magnetic went handles on the lid it looks just like the Android mascot! Like my magnetic vent handle? The vent is only .5" right now...

Hey Mac, That looks amazing. Kudos. What top are you using? is that an water pan from an 18" WSM? It looks exactly like the one from the 1880.

Dont get the charcoal GA. The vents are on the side and they are very hard to adjust and have terrible airflow for turning up the heat.

Very nice!

Guys, this is not a fs thread, sorry. I am just trying to gauge it's market value without actually putting it on ebay so I figured I'd ask you guys here. I don't really know how to do this otherwise since I have only heard of about 9 of these on the bbq forums. Most of them are local finds...
