Due to the standardization of paving bricks in the civilized world, the front leg of the brownie sitting at a juncture, the length of the axis of axle to point of front leg of a 22-1/2" kettle being 20", the back axle of said brownie sitting at yet another juncture, AND using accepted triginometric function, by counting bricks & arriving at 2 and 1/2......

The brownie is a 22-1/2".........


Plus, the handle's wrong for an 18".........


Unless they're using some kind of commie measurement, the bricks are 8"............. 8)

    Covered, damper-controlled cooking.....IF YOU PLEASE !!!

That's funny, I was using the same sort of math in my head but I was using the kettle handles as guides.

Sorta how you measure the distance between a deer's rack by his ears before you take a shot.

I say 26.75 with a 22 triangle standing next to a Chocolate 22. I like the 26"ers with the 22 legs/triangle myself.

I believe the math of a "Dead Head"! As I said earlier, look at the wheels. It is a bootleg 26" from USA. Now we need to figure out a way to get a container and colors on a boat from OZ. Start the order list. Have Hogsy and Golly collect all brown and red used they can find. We order all the colors prepaid from OZ Weber and have sent to them. Gladial has plenty of storage... We need a banker/accountant to be in charge... We will pay more, but it would be worth it for colors and accessories we cannot get.

Well I received an email from the owner of the kettles today and what can I say
Are you ready for this .......... Y'all better sit down cause this is gonna blow your kettle infused minds.


Wait for it......


Wait for it......




Ok there both 22 's!!!!!!
Weren't expecting that now were you
Good news is the quandary is solved
Bad news is I'm still yet to see a 26er in OZ
They did sell them here at some stage..... So maybe just maybe there's one out there , hidden away in the back of someone's shed waiting for me to come rescue it
I'm only 2 or 3 kettles away from being that creepy guy down the street with all the Webers

Had the thought that it was possible, but why is the blk 4 inches TALLER than the other one ?

Being taller, the long legs, that tank of an ash can, having handles ( as opposed to none )
all conspire to make it appear bigger.......

One is the regular size 22 and the other is a jumbo 22.  ???

I remain skeptical.
kettles, smokers...

G$

I remian skeptical as well.

The only other possibility I can think of is that it's a regular 22.5 and someone added the lid therm, and the legs and wheels off of a 26'r. Also it just might be a little closer in the picture than the choco.

Hogsy

That's the OTG Premium
Longer legs, larger wheels, Therm

Don't tell me you guys don't have this model in the U.S.?

But it's not that much closer. Look at the shadows. And for that matter, the 26 throws a shadow on the 22.

I think it is a 26'r, but I can't see all of it's characterisitics, .ike the lid bale and the way the ash catcher is connected. Why don't you just go over ther and perve it in person? ???

Although an invite was given, its about a 15hr drive one way
If it was any colour other than black I'd contemplate the drive
