Is this a 26er?
« on: February 13, 2013, 02:48:26 AM »
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.

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?"

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?

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.

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 .....

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
