Good Afternoon from Parker County TX...I stumbled upon your forum while doing a search for some kettle information. I look forward to sharing experiences as well as learning from you all...
Thanks for putting this site together and for keeping it alive.
So in addition to a big hello to all I do have a question for the "restorers" in the group...I have found a 26 3/4" Weber Kettle from circa 1975...I am not sure of the exact production date as I am not at home at the moment. However, the lid does have wood handles, the ash catcher is a flimsy piece of light weight metal which kind of hooks around the tri-pod legs. The top vent read "Bar B Q Kettle" not Weber...and the bottom vents are the dials, similar to the top vent. Anyway, Weber no longer carries parts...I am looking for the cooking and charcoal grates. I did get part numbers from Weber, #71201 Cooking Grate and #73101 Charcoal Grate. Does anyone on the forum know of any sites which might stock the old Weber parts? Or maybe someone is aware of another grill manufacturers parts which will work in place of the OEM parts??
I appreciate anyone's thoughts and comments...and again...Thanks for the forum...
