When trying to find more information on this this type of Weber I was directed back to this site.  Looks like there are two red 18s in the club.

Plug it in and cook on it! It's a Weber kettle after all   8)

I've got gas  ::) not electric, so I'd be interested in seeing lots more pictures when you get it in your hands.

Dude, relax your chicken.

If you don't want it I'll be glad to take it off your hands.  Can you deliver it to the DFW Amtrak station?  8)
Another red 18 would be nice  :D

Haha, I should've known it was someone on this board!

Emailed the seller asking if I could pick it up today.  He said I was second in line, since he was holding it for someone tomorrow!

I expect some pictures etruax!   ;)

Golly

You'll have no trouble turning this around in the club. I think Jeff has a photo of his plugged in and the burner glowing in the dark. It was badass looking. I'd love to someday find an electric along with a propane kettle. Funds and wife not killing me in my sleep permitting.

Here are two shots taken just after pickup.  Being a 22 this grill has two elements with one being like the 18's element and another that runs around the outer edge of the kettle.  Another difference with the 18 is a switch for direct, indirect or both.

Is there  a drip  pan that goes above the heating elements, or is that thing below them the drip pan?  Or are you expected to not put stuff directly on the grate?

It is raining here so no night picture yet.

The grate sits about 1 inch above the elements with the silver disk below the elements.  There is a hole in the bottom of the kettle but the drip pan (cup) and drip pan holder are missing. 

The owner had just got it at an estate sale and used it once so no history.
