Thanks you again Mr. Hoss for being my agent. 18.5" model which I haven't seen before.

The top of the utility pan was sprayed black with a rattle can. That was quickly removed. The bottom of the pan has a copper coating (not paint)...interesting. There is a blob of it on the top of the pan

chrome plated steel legs, pipe leg sockets, and the optional ash pan.

Oh sugar, that's awesome.
-
Sweet! So the ash pan was an option.
And what about the copper? Interesting.
-
Awesome!
-
Dam Hoss , very cool of you !
Probably the earliest known example of an 18.5 :) ?
Congrats on a great score Harris !

Yes, the ash pan was considered an accessory option at that time. The bottom of the utility pan has a cooper colored coating on it. Don't know
anything else about it. There is a blob of this coating in the middle of the top too.

Just a screw and nut on the front corner of the pan?

Good to see the Kettle next to that fence. Love the flat spot and the 2 dimples. This Kettle was found buried under stuff in a garage.

@dazzo
Yes just a screw and nut. This one is the same way (screw and nut).

That's a sweet 18!

Ok. Is it just me or is the blue on this Kettle the same as on the inside of the wheel:

I was wondering about that too...... Curious..
-
Wow! Very cool!
-
^^^I think that is so cool.
Look at us @Craig and @harris92 grown men and certifiable bbq nerds.

@Craig @Mr Hoss
There is another blue area on the same wheel (not seen in the above pic). The spray pattern is as if "something" was moving (i.e. the wheel or the spray gun).
-
Very nice! I would leave that one as original as possible.

Trying to figure out the coating thing on the pan ? The color is a common one in vintage grills as well as other metal items from the era. What I don't get is why coat the bottom of the pan ? Same with the blue one , why bother ? If those pans are stamped Aluminum theres no need to coat or protect them , is it possible those early stamped pans are sheet metal or something else and they wanted a rust barrier to protect them ?

@Idahawk The utility pans on both of my Weber Bros are not aluminum. The look more like sheet metal.

I thought my square edge pan was sheet metal too , but it turned out to be aluminum. I could see why they changed the metal , the aluminum pans break off at the tip where it meets of the front leg , it's to soft of material.

Locally, Ed Reilly has a Weber Bros very similar to yours. I inspected his grill a few months ago. His utility pan is made of a different material than both of mine.
