Can anyone guess the age of this gasser?
« on: June 11, 2015, 08:05:02 PM »
Check this gasser out. It looks pretty old to me. My guess is that it must be one of the very first ones from the mid 80's? Looks to be in fairly good shape. Who is our resident "go to" person for questions on gas grills?

This is the original Weber kettle. The most powerful bbq grill in the world and can blow your taste-buds clean off! So, you have to ask yourself one question: "Do you feel hungry? Well, do you punk?"

Here's a pic from the 94 catalogue......
I'm only 2 or 3 kettles away from being that creepy guy down the street with all the Webers

I was thinking that the wire condiment rack on the right side would place the age of the grill at mid 1980's?Plus, look at the white wall design on the wheels. What period is that? Mid 80's? Early 90's? Also, what color is that? Brown?

That brown is similar to a chocolate kettle, Golly has one those lids

What year were those wheels w/ that style white wall in place? That could give us a clue... @Craig

*edit* My flat top 26 is H code/1986 and has those same white walls. You may be onto something w/ it being mid 80's @ramsfan ...

I'm pretty sure that's a Genesis 1.   Did you look for the serial number ??
