That is very cool, indeed!!  Giving me some ideas.

It appears that the green handle / support under the shelf is not a standard kettle handle.
It looks a tad long, and there are no tabs for wood handles. Unless it's a newer style handle.

Overall, an all-around great idea. Can't wait for warmer weather.  8)

The finish looks factory to me, pretty much a dead ringer for forest green. You can see the factory edge around the rim where it changes to black.

I still can't get over that grate... If it's custom someone spent a LOT of time fabricating that bad boy. So cool!

Those leg sockets look modified as well... Perhaps for the extra weight of ice and bottles? Maybe just those parts were repainted... A pic of the leg socket would be excellent! :)

I will try to get a good shot of the sockets tonight.  8)

This deal smacks of a Weber employee gone monkey balls in the shop.......

I think @1buckie's on to something... That or a promotional demo. Have a closer look at the bowl handle - its not a stock kettle handle. The strap has longer connection points on the bowl and it's also squared off, yet it's coated in what appears to be factory Forest Green porcelain.

This is a real gem Neo - Amazing find! And you can prob track down a lid for it if you so choose...

Cool find Neotrout!  That green looks like original Weber porcelain to me.  With flash, it looks just like my restored EE 22" http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/left-for-dead-ee-green-ots-restore/msg104551/#msg104551.  These older greens look beautiful once cleaned and in natural daylight.

I'm with you. I have seen some odd promo devices some big companies have made. I think this might of been some promo item for something. It looks to good to not come from the factory is what i am thinking. Or some engineer with good craftsmanship did it.
Grate is something, looks so perfect. I guess the middle piece was for napkins and such.

Close-ups of the leg sockets. They look reenforced with the flared out bits on the side.





Looks like there is black paint under the green.

Very cool item indeed

I think your looking at someone with very good skills with a wire feed welder, it's a matter of cutting the holes , building the holders and tacking them back in .
it's possible it was wobbler and he reinforced the legs to handle the weight . Also and again my opinion being that it wasn't going to see heat a guy could put a really nice paint job on it .
