1973-1976 22" red Kettle. I'm in love.

[JaimeG-higonzilla]

I picked this up last weekend. $40! New style grate, side table and cover. I bent the leg in my truck bed transporting it home. A little rust here and there. I don't mind. Nice and clean otherwise. Lid fits tightly with only a small ding that didn't break the enamel. The vents were stuck closed but I got them freed up. Really nice guy too. Weber fan like the rest of us.

Jaime, That's a keeper for sure! Every griller should have at least one real red Weber kettle Really nice lid on that one.

I need to look to be sure, but I think I might have an extra leg to replace the bent one.

And a Slide-aside, nice.

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

That’s a good one! Do you have a replacement leg? I might if you don’t.
the one I want to find is a yellow one!

 

[Jon Tofte]

I want an avocado - 18 or 22, but a yellow would be really nice, too!

Nice. I ordered a set of legs but a trip up would be cool. Id buy you breakfast for it.

 

[Jon Tofte]

I will look and let you know if I can find an old style one. A free breakfast is always a good thing ! The new legs are not made the same as the old ones. I will be interested to see what Weber sends you.

 

[John G (Boston)]

Wow, very nice find!

 

[Jon Tofte]

Found one, Jaime! I will hold for you until you have time to come by.

 

[Anthony Spitzer]

Nice looking find. Look forward to seeing photos after you get it all cleaned and shined up.

Oh man. Let's plan for after the new year. Thanks.

Jon, you’re a class act!

I see a tube straightener...

I used all new legs. They fit well. The white on the wheels wore out. I'll have to paint them back in.

What’s the first cook going to be?

All black wheels look good with that redhead

Fajitas when the weather dries up.

Just noticed there is a reddish weber on Bob Newhart's balcony.

I think the wheels he has are like mine from a '74 I have:



They are supposed to look like this (this is the same one restored):
