Thanks to @dgodwin for posting this. And thanks to @Troy for closing the Online finds section to the public. The transaction went down without a hitch. No trolls to screw it up. :)  I am really excited to add this to my collection.

I think it will clean up really well. I will post more photos as I restore it. It does need the knob that turns it on and off. I'll have to research it to find one that matches. I also need to get a zavdle for it.

Thank you to everyone for cheering me on during the pickup.

Very nice, never saw one before.  Call Weber and tell them you want to register your grill and see if they have parts yet! Lol
Wanted: 18" Platinum any color will work
This is my Kettle there are many like it but this one is mine......

I'dove to try one of these out. I blew an opportunity on a black one two years ago. Congratulations! That's a sweet yellow!

GRATE pickup Dan!  That's a goodie.  I had a red for a short period of time.  I got to fire it up once.  Fire it up at night and post some pictures.  I assume it will turn orange like a yellow charcoal kettle?

Is there much information about these? Dates produced? Literature? Any help I can get will be greatly appreciated. This one appears to be put together "caddywampus"

An observation. The lid vent has the Pat. # on it but that patent is for the leg sockets which this kettle doesn't have. ;)

awesome score!!

Jeff

Hey Dan, nice score for sure!
Here's what we all want to see from you.

Kettle collector AND cooker!

Sorry I didn't get a chance to fire it up tonight. A 14 month old plus a 2 week old equals not much time for anything else. I'll pug it in tomorrow night and get some photos. :)

SCORE! You can get a 3d printed knob (Yes, I am serious.).

Do you know, or does anyone here know of someone with this capability?  It would be great to get an exact match.  For now I am going to look at the hardware store for a knob that will fit.

It's a double graill!  A Yellow AND an electric.

@Jeff @harris92

Is there anything you can tell me about taking this grill apart for cleaning? does the element come out easy?  Are there any tricks I should know about or things to be careful of. 

Thanks for any help.

Also Jeff do you have any close up pictures of the grease catcher?  Mine is missing so I will need to make something.

Hey Dan,

I emailed you an instruction sheet. It took only a few minutes to assemble.  Here is a pic of the one I had.  I traded it in a three way deal.
