So during my vacation this past week I was at an old antique yard in NW Wis. Walked around the place for a good 45 minutes and saw some pretty cool stuff, but didnt buy anything. On the way out, my wife said, "hey, look at that over there". Away from most of the junk of the antique yard sat an old kettle grill. I looked and I knew something was different about it. Then I saw it had a steel top handle. It was oddly shaped, and when I walked up to it, I knew it was a 26. So this grill is an old 26 Weber kettle with a steel top handle. Its grey in color...definitely not a faded black. It has the 8" steel hub wheels. It also has the 3 daisy vents on the bottom. Its not in the best of shape, but is solid all around included the leg sockets on the bowl. The charcoal grate was trashed and burned out so I left it there. There was no way to rehab it. The original cooking grate is still there, but missing one bar on the end. The original twist on ash catcher is missing. The condition of the grill is not really something that I wanted to personally take on, but there was no way I was leaving it there. I ended getting it for 10 bucks. I'm going to let Brian have it for what I paid for it and he can make it his project if he likes. If he chooses not to keep it, I'm sure someone else would like to have it....so just mention it to Brian.
I'll post some pics of it a bit later, but its still packed away in back of my truck. I think this grill is from the late 50's based on what I've seen in some old Weber catalogs.
