Is there any way to tell the difference from an 18 and 22 when looking on sites like cl?  I don't have a good enough eye to tell the difference in size from a picture and the ads rarely specify size.

In addition to the differences in top vent location already mentioned (when comparing older grills ...) you might also notice that all 18's are essentially flat tops, compared to a 22's lid which is more domed. Maybe not quite as "flat" as a flat top 26, but certainly more so than a 22.
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

You're killin' me @harris92 ! I'll be happy to give a home to one of your forgotten Wood Dales. And that sexy red Easterner is my birthyear kettle - which I don't have one of - so we should probably make a deal on her too ;)

My 10.00 EE Green 18 CL score

Love it!  The elusive 18" MBH green!  Nice score!

Edit: Nevermind!  Just saw the wood handles, kind of camouflaged into the background.  Never-the-less, a nice looking pick up!

MBA Green?
Don't think his phone has learned WKC language yet (I'll just say "damned auto-correct" for him). I had to do a double-take. Thought it was a MBH at first. The wooden bowl handles really blend in with the background. Here however, is a 18" MBH green:

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

Didn't know you had a 96 Bud Olympic 18. I have the same grill NIB. Haven't seen too many of these. I've got a big collection of '96 Olympic stuff. I'm planning on displaying this grill with my stuff.

Ya I got it from a friend who won it when he worked at a restaurant he only cooked on it a few times and then it sat in his shed I didn’t even know he had it till I was over helping him fix his fence and he was cleaning out his shed and I saw it sitting there I asked what you doing with that and he said he was going to get rid of it and I said I’ll take it off your hands for you the rest is history I haven’t actually cooked on it yet but I should now that I got the abc slow n sear stainless charcoal basket to try out I got to break out some 18” grills

Typing too fast.  Obviously meant MBH-which it isn't, but still awesome looking!
