Can anyone tell me if this is a 26 next to a 22 or a 22 next to a 18?

I'd of thought the larger one was a 22" because of the lid, but it looks too big for a 22". Maybe the newer 26" lids are aren't as flat anymore?
The triangle doesnt look like those on the 26ers Ive seen but the rest of the grill sure looks like one. The brownie looks to be a 22" based on the handle configuration.
My bet would be 26". Look at the tires, looks like 6" compared to that on the brownie.
That is definately a big 26 next to a 22. The brown one is definately a 22 because look at where the lid handle is in relation to the lid vent. The vent is at the end of the handle. If it were an 18, the vent would be alongside the handle, not at the end of it.
The big one is definately a 26. Look at the built in factory thermometer on the lid only available on a 26. Look at the rubber tip on the end of the lid vent damper. Only available on a 26. Also, look at the knobby tire tread on the big one, only available on a 26.
I'd say the big one is 26 . Because the brown is 22 since the bowl handle brackets have holes for wooden handles.
Poor little brown guy's sittin' cattywampus on his legs....
kinda like my errant step-child "Tommy" looks kinda drunk or somethin', but he's a 22, if 18 the
top handle would be cross-ways, as Ramsfan said......
I believe that was the first 26'r they came out with when they brought them back. They hadn't started putting the longer legs on yet, so no need for the elongated triangle yet.

I don't see a lid bale either, but it could be hiding. The wheels also lool a bit odd.
And finally, isn't that a relatively newer handle on it?
Make ya think.. 8)
Looking at it again post coffe, it looks like it has the long legs. It looks like a triangle from a 22.5 was put on it.
I was hoping it was a 26er
But I think it might be one of these

The only way to be sure is to send it to me and I'll put a tape measure on it. It may take a few years before I'm done .....
You better send that Brownie too since theres been some questions about it also.
Hey,there not mine
I've never seen a 26er in OZ
This pic popped up on a forum over here the other day I've messaged the owner but he hasn't responded
Just thought I'd get the experts opinions
Hogsy, I think it is a 22 and a 18. But cant tell for sure.

The 26 has a heat sheild under the handle.
Due to the standardization of paving bricks in the civilized world, the front leg of the brownie sitting at a juncture, the length of the axis of axle to point of front leg of a 22-1/2" kettle being 20", the back axle of said brownie sitting at yet another juncture, AND using accepted triginometric function, by counting bricks & arriving at 2 and 1/2......
The brownie is a 22-1/2".........
Plus, the handle's wrong for an 18".........
Unless they're using some kind of commie measurement, the bricks are 8"............. 8)
That's funny, I was using the same sort of math in my head but I was using the kettle handles as guides.
Sorta how you measure the distance between a deer's rack by his ears before you take a shot.
Yeah I vote 26 - 22
I say 26.75 with a 22 triangle standing next to a Chocolate 22. I like the 26"ers with the 22 legs/triangle myself.

I believe the math of a "Dead Head"! As I said earlier, look at the wheels. It is a bootleg 26" from USA. Now we need to figure out a way to get a container and colors on a boat from OZ. Start the order list. Have Hogsy and Golly collect all brown and red used they can find. We order all the colors prepaid from OZ Weber and have sent to them. Gladial has plenty of storage... We need a banker/accountant to be in charge... We will pay more, but it would be worth it for colors and accessories we cannot get.
Well I received an email from the owner of the kettles today and what can I say
Are you ready for this .......... Y'all better sit down cause this is gonna blow your kettle infused minds.
Wait for it......
Wait for it......
Ok there both 22 's!!!!!!
Weren't expecting that now were you
Good news is the quandary is solved
Bad news is I'm still yet to see a 26er in OZ
They did sell them here at some stage..... So maybe just maybe there's one out there , hidden away in the back of someone's shed waiting for me to come rescue it
Had the thought that it was possible, but why is the blk 4 inches TALLER than the other one ?
Being taller, the long legs, that tank of an ash can, having handles ( as opposed to none )
all conspire to make it appear bigger.......
I still think I need to check that brownie out anyway :)

One is the regular size 22 and the other is a jumbo 22. ???
I remain skeptical.
I remian skeptical as well.
The only other possibility I can think of is that it's a regular 22.5 and someone added the lid therm, and the legs and wheels off of a 26'r. Also it just might be a little closer in the picture than the choco.
That's the OTG Premium
Longer legs, larger wheels, Therm

Don't tell me you guys don't have this model in the U.S.?

But it's not that much closer. Look at the shadows. And for that matter, the 26 throws a shadow on the 22.

Yes we do. The 26 OTG. ;D
I think it is a 26'r, but I can't see all of it's characterisitics, .ike the lid bale and the way the ash catcher is connected. Why don't you just go over ther and perve it in person? ???
Although an invite was given, its about a 15hr drive one way
If it was any colour other than black I'd contemplate the drive
