Hi Gerd,
The wheels look like that but the handles are flat, not tubular. I'll try to get pictures later today. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I fired it up this weekend to fire roast some red peppers and bake some spuds to go with the ribs on the WSM so I got some snaps.
My recollection is that this was black when we got it. How can I say this... The condition of the grill is a testament to the durability of those old grills when Weber made them. That's all original except that the wood handle on the lid is missing. I'm pretty sure that the bowl handles never had wood on them because there is no screw hole in the present handle.
It seems to have faded to gray fairly evenly so that argues against this being due to sun but it is definitely an aging phenomena.
One question I have is how to remove the rust stains. The pitting that causes it seems to be superficial. I took some polishing compound to it but the stains seem to be embedded in the porcelain. They shined up but otherwise didn't budge. I'm reluctant to use chemical means for fear it will exacerbate the pitting. Maybe I'll just leave it as is. It has no effect onthe performance of the cooker.
