Referred to this group for help with a grill

[PapaMurph]

Hello all,

I listed a grill for sale on my local Facebook Marketplace today and had someone reach out to me a about it.  They told me to check in with the forums here on WKC.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/567810143778575/

The grill appeared to me to be a 1987 Weber 22" Kettle.  The dampers are all marked with letter code J.

The grill has a lip for the cooking grate instead of the brackets I am used to.  I was told this may mean this is a Sears or K-Mart kettle.  Can anyone help?

Thanks!

You were told correctly..... that is not a weber

It is a Sears Economy Kettle.  I am not 100% clear on whether or not Weber made it for Sears or it was another manufacturer.  It is in decent shape, but I can't say for certain it is worth $75.  It seems like the Sears Economy Kettles and the Happy Cookers only have value if they are a color or have a decent internal ash pan that can be taken out of it to be used in another vintage kettle.

Kmart kettles have plastic snap fit handles and no center spine on the triangle.  Your kettle is a Sears Economy.  The bowl damper design and wheels indicate that this one was made by Weber.

Happy cooker with a table but it's off and stored inside. It was made by someone before I had it. One day I'll clean her. There is a guy from the fb kettle group that had some parts for me.
