New Old Grill

[Jake Stuart]

I recently found an 18" Weber kettle in a neighbors scrap bin and pulled it out to look it over. It's an older style with (3) 4 hole vents in the bottom of the bowl. Does anyone roughly know the time period these were made. I can post a pic later if desired. I had another 18" (again from a different neighbors scrap bin)(what's with these people) and it had the more recent ash slits and handle for easy cleaning. I'm a little excited to find this kind. Thanks for any information you all may have.

Check the letter code on the lid vent and post back. That will get the exact year of the kettle

That will get the exact year of the kettle

Unless it was made prior to 1979

Jake, show us some photos of your kettle. Even if its prior to 1979, we can help determine an era for it.
