never seen this before. Was this a legit line of Weber? Was it a snap on thermometer because the holder is missing.

This is actually for real. I have seen these Weber grills with Snap On logo before. Not sure when they were made them but they existed.
 
It has been a while since I have seen one posted up here, but they are for real. I have never seen one available locally, but if I do, I will be all over it....for the right price of course. Certainly not $300.
Weber did logo grills for several businesses on a very limited run.

I envision finding one of the Snap On grills to rehab and selling it for $500 to a automotive repair shop.
 
I saw a Snap-On before but it slipped away...

I had this one. I never figured out what the AF logo represented

It is actually a AFF grill which stands for American Frozen Food. Pretty rare grill.

Thanks Jeff, Mystery solved. The label was gone so I couldn't register it. The lid went to a gentleman doing a restore on an old 13 bar deep box. The rest of the parts were sold as is for a another restore.
 
Just a Snap On logo embedded in the porcelain on the hood similar to how it was done on a Skyline.

Among my many dumb misadventures, I bought one of the grills that Snap On allowed their name to be applied to. The body looked like a Snap On tool box.

Beyond that it was a hulk of rusted junk. I wound up taking it to my organizations scrap pile - Dave Ramsey calls that a "stupid tax!" I saved the logo and a rotisserie and that's about it.

I have thought about converting a later Spirit with the stainless cabinetry into something that has that look. Just affix the right metal strips to make the doors look like tool box ones and then put a red hood and the Snap On logo on the body. I think that would be a cooler marriage of a Weber grill with Snap On.
 
There was newer open cabinet Genesis for sale in my area that was Snap On branded. Guy only wanted about $350 and it was listed for a couple weeks at least.
 
Resurrecting a years-old thread to contribute some photos of my recently completed Snap On grill project. It was not 100% complete when I took these photos. The wood is unfinished mahogany as shown but I finished it with beeswax a bit later. Also, the tank scale, bracket, and frame gauge decal are not yet installed. I still had some paint drying on the scale when I snapped the pics.

Nice work Tom!
That mahogany looks nice on there! Did you make those slats?
I did not. Woodworking in general is my Achilles heel. I bought a planer, a router table, and a drill press with a mortising attachment last year to make a run at making my own slats and handles. I still haven’t got any further than a bunch of nicely planed 8’ cedar boards now taking up space in my shop.
