Hi All, I hope this gets to the newbie section, having a hard time figuring out how to post. A few years ago I worked at our local VFW and they had a grill that had been sitting there for years. I asked my manager about it and she said: "oh hell you can just have it". One of the customers brought it home for me and after sporadic searces, over the years I have finally found a ballpark idea of what model it is.
It is a Weber Westerner!!! There was no coal grate, so a friend of mine cut me a 19 1/2" expanded metal grate for it. Still has original cooking grate, but no ash pan.

Thank you for all the warm feelings and welcome. I was wondering if there is a way to tell the age by the handle??? It's got the metal handle so it predates the one in the forum chat about the 1965-66 Westerner. Silly me I'd kinda like to say it's the same age I am, I was born in '59 and saw that these were first introduced in '58. I'd also like to find an ash pan to get it to look kinda/sorta like it did in the day.
Thanks a Million,
Ivey
