recently, i got what i believe is a WSM, for free.
It is missing a charcoal ring and water bowl, so i have ordered a couple replacement parts seen in these forums, in hopes to replace them. however, im curious to know if there are knock off, or other smokers that are known about, that this smoker might actually be? i ordered what i could find on a whim, hoping that it all fits, and dont really foresee it not fitting, but i dont know for sure.
based on what ive found within these forums, i believe it to be one of the original C stamp WSM, obviously because the top vent only has a C stamped on it. There are no other marks on this smoker that tell me anything else, so i can only go off of photo info. there is, as mentioned, the C stamp on the top vent. it does have wood handles, but because its as old as it likely is, if there was a weber logo on the wood handles, its weathered away. the photos that i can find online, seem to match. for example, the alumuminum legs and the front access door, with round knob, rather than the elongated "handle".
anything else that would be a hint that it is, or is not a weber brand?
