Seems to always be a lot of old Webers for sale in Massachusetts.

I think it's because they can't figure out how to keep the beans from falling through the grates so they give up

How many beans are in a bowl of new england baked bean soup?

239. one more bean and it would be 240.

Ya gotta say 240 out loud with a Boston accent

I had not seen one of those before. The tables almost look like Thermoset.

Love the color against all that stainless. I also note that open cart. Very interesting.

I think we've seen these before, but the trade offer is new

There was one of those in Avalon (26 miles off the California coast at Santa Catalina island) but I haven't decided if it's worth swimming out there to get it.

Oh, never mind...someone else bought it...

Here's another one of those Snap-On grills, complete with toilet paper. I'd hesitate to open the drawers on this one...

Looks flash when new…Total junk and a travesty for Snap On to have their name on it. That rust-doomed tin can isn’t worthy of a Harbor Freight “Warrior” or “Chicago Electric” logo let alone one from Snap On.

I have lots of questions about that cart/frame.
No sides, no doors, and rounded tubes???
I have never seen rounded tubing like that on
any Weber frame.

First generation summit is the only Weber grill I've seen with the round tubing frame sections. Jon Tofte's summit restoration thread gives you a pretty good idea of how these tanks are constructed.

Yes, the 1st Summit does use thick round tubes for several frame parts.




Although most of these have a closed in cart, they were also sold with an open cart. No doors or back or sides. They did, however, have solid 304 stainless bottom trays that the one listed above seems to be missing.

Seems like Webber came really close to some really perfect grills over the years

 

[LMichaels]

Actually IIRC the open car ones had the same wire shelf

I have seen a couple like this for sale:

Strange I don't ever remember seeing an open cart Summit for sale before.

Is a 1st Gen summit like this worth $75?

Not to flip, but for personal use.

Just asking for future reference, since I am not currently in the market.

I do like the idea of refurbishing these classic old Weber grills to give as gifts to friends and family.
