Title: Is this a Weber?
Post by: ramsfan on December 26, 2012, 06:34:12 PM
Is this a Weber Smokey Joe? It sure looks like one, but the vent on the lid doesn't look right? It looks too small? Any thoughts?

I have the same one...its a "C". Looks to be in pretty good shape. Mine was only used once by the former owner and it looks brand new. I paid $20 for mine.

that handle should be a 2-rivet handle.

someone must have done some swapping

good eye Troy! I would guess that means someone has drilled a extra hole where one shouldn't be.

Nah...I have one exactly like it.  It's a "C" which puts it in 1982, after the switch to the single screw.  I turned mine into a mini smoker.  I like it because it has the three wheels on the bowl...

I've seen the folding legs on the 1981 (C) 'Joes. I've seen a 1983 (E) SJ that had the stationary wire legs. Single screw handle makes me think its an '81 or '82. Either way, someone snag this!!!  :o It's clean and would make an awesome mini WSM with it's bowl vents.

I picked one of these up a couple of weeks ago. not in as nice a shape, but the three vents make it look closer to a Mini WSM than anything else. Can't wait until it's warmer (at least 40's) so I can work on it in the garage.
