What Weber is this? Vintage?

[KyleDeBernardi]

Hi,

First time posting, long time lurker... =0]

Could someone help me identify what Weber this is? I have not seen it before, and the bottom half of the kettle looks different. As well as the tray under the ash catcher.

Ive searched for about an hour, and couldnt find anything that resembled this...

I think from the pictures, it looks to be in great shape.

Any insight is appreciated. Is it worth picking up? I already have a black one touch silver, but if it was vintage I might pick it up just for fun.

Thanks for your help in advance

I don't believe it's a Weber. It looks like a no-name Chinese kettle, like this: http://www.p-wholesale.com/cn-pro/1...gs-kettle-charcoal-grill-pb-pc223-444168.html

The top looks different too. Does it have the name Weber anywhere on it? Usually a Weber will have its name on the handles, vent wheels, and wheels.

Bingo! How did you know this?

Did a Google image search on "charcoal grill" and scrolled through probably 500 images before finding this one, part of a Chinese grill manufacturer's website.

Thanks Chris.

I was hoping this was a 26.75 rare prototype or something.

I guess I assumed it was a weber, because in the guys ad he says it is. Definitly looked different than any weber I have ever seen.

Thanks for helping me out.

They tend to add the word Weber in some form to a lot of grills. It's either because Weber is part of the lexicon used to describe a grill or they know it attracts views to the add. As always, check things out before you buy (as you did).
