Maybe the Guru of all WSM's (Mr. A) might see this and chime in?Thank you Timothy - I'll probably try this with some high heat rtv sealant until I decide to replace the bottom bowl.
I'm not sure about the "C" model - from the pictures on here - they had raised "slots" on the dampers between the holes and mine are completely smooth...
I took the wood handle off and did notice it has two prongs that stick upwards on either end of the handle...I don't know if that offers any clues?
JWorden, I called Weber to see if they could help narrow down what model of the WSM I have (no such luck) BUT I told them about the charcoal bowl and they gave me the $100+ price then took off $34 & waived shipping! For less than $70 it's worth it for me. Thanks again!If I were you I would call Weber and see if they can sell you a bowl. If they are and the price is right I would do that.
If you are handy you can try to fix it but how much would that cost is it worth your time? My suspicion is that hole will cause the temperature to run way too high.
Here's a link for a new bowl.

For less than $70 it's worth it for me. Charcoal bowl and bottom dampers all replaced in one swoop. Thanks again!Bite the bullet on the new bottom bowl, it will last you the rest of your life.
Patch the bottom for the time being, fine. As long as the dampers actually close you should be ok. The hole in the bottom will/3 acting like an additional draft hole unless it’s covered. I can’t say anything about high heat epoxy never used it.
Replace the grates, they are not that expensive buy some pork butts and get to it!
Welcome

If you want to patch and use while looking for parts use a large diameter area washer inside and out with screw and nut. You can form the washer to fit the bowl contour by dimpling the washer with a ball peen hammer into a large socket .If I were you I would call Weber and see if they can sell you a bowl. If they are and the price is right I would do that.
