They said they think it's a WSM here's the vent???
« on: May 07, 2019, 04:45:49 PM »
My old WSM has the ridges on the vent and no little tabs in the holes. Anyone know if this is a Weber vent and if that line on it is a I or L or neither.

I’m calling that a Weber. Go get it.

I don’t think it’s any stamp.  It does look like a Weber bottom vent though.

The knob on the door looks like the first version of the door knob/latch.

He has a WSM and says it is really similar but only has one. Shelf. I can't see the tabs for another shelf. It's not near me so I will see if he takes paypal and we will let the gods decide.

Most of the cheapie ones I've seen had bolt on handles, not welded on like in the picture.

Yea I think it is a Weber, it just really through me when he said he has one and he doesn't think it's a real Weber. We will see, he seems to be working with me.

Looks like a Weber to me as well. Although...that grate in the middle is hinged so not original. From what I know, there was a period from the mid-late 1980’s to the early-mid 1990’s where they weren’t stamped.

The 18 i had was a 2000s model and there was no way a hinged grate would fit on the middle since it was a smaller diameter

Agreed. But closer examination of that hinged grate looks like it's sitting in there at slight angle (not on the straps). Then again...where is the top tab of the strap where the upper grate is supposed to sit?

A normal sized 18 grate will fit fine in the 18" WSM, but will wind up resting on the nuts, that are slightly above the lower grate supports and that attach the strap to the middle section.  I know, because I bought one like that.

@Red_5_Wrangler said the guy seemed to be working with him.  You might want to message him & see if it fell through or he backed off.

He said no to PayPal and I already asked my local friends for too much so I made peace with letting this one go.
Side note, I am also convinced this is an 18 with the center upside down and one missing grate. He said there is no water pan but I think it's there it's just the old smaller one not like the huge ones. Last person I got one from was using it under the charcoal. I hope it's awesome.
