Does anyone have any idea what that is on top?

Is that Billy Batts on the cooking grate? I wonder how they got him from the trunk to the grill?
This is the original Weber kettle. The most powerful bbq grill in the world and can blow your taste-buds clean off! So, you have to ask yourself one question: "Do you feel hungry? Well, do you punk?"

Hogsy, is your gas kettle(s) LP or natural gas?  The one in the picture looks to be a natural gas model because of the grey hose running behind it, that and no tank pictured.

Guys, is it me, or does the green two handled grill look larger thean the red one handled grill?  Look at the side table for reference.

I was but the more I look, it just is not that big is it? 

I assumed there was never a 26.  Don't you agree Ed?

On the green, doesn't it look like the handle is wrong, in relation to the wheels?

After looking at it closely, I am beginning to believe it's for air flow. If you notice the lid doesn't have the big lip to accomidate the brackets that keep it raised for airflow. The lp is the same as the regular kettles have. The handles are also in a different position and there are two. I think it's just a totally different design than any of the others.

OK, I have it on good authority that the thing on top of the gas kettle was indeed a vent and it's over sized shape was for added weight.  And that man in the picture is George Stephens Jr.   That is a picture of a production model, that was available for sale.  So, they're out there somewhere,  maybe they are all in OZ.
