Not a Weber, but cool nonetheless

Yellow porcelain is lighter than Weber's, and has a speckling pattern:

If that was on Milwaukee's CL, I'd probably grab it, if it were cheap.

Structo Model #7100
Not mine. On OfferUp, located between Chicago & Milwaukee, for the low, low price of $5000. That's a $500 price drop from original asking price.

I just bought the identical Strutco Grill this morning from a garage sale. After trying to research it I have come across this forum.  Pretty Cool!  Just curious if you have found any info on this grill.  Mine is missing the ash pan and would love to find one...

I haven't found much info on this model. I did find out that Structo started producing grills in 1960 & production ceased around 1985. Based on the original colors that I've seen these kettles in, I figure that they must be late 70's to mid 80's. My assumption is that this kettle was Structo's attempt to stay relevant in the marketplace. Buddy L produced a grill that was almost identical from the hinges down, but had different lid shape & a "starburst" cooking grate.

I'm working to secure another one for parts (& to turn into a [emoji487] grill). If it "pans" out, I'll let you know

Yes, it is an old Weber ranch.  I spent a couple days with it.  The bottom was modified.

Weber or not? This may have been discussed before. I have seen vaguely similar grills in old Weber photos, but not sure. Someone here knows.

That was the Great Pumpkin.. These young whippersnappers weren't around in the early days.. Lol..

I just encountered this old thread while browsing the web for Structos. I think they are so awesome! I would absolutely LOVE to have an old, brown, charcoal Structo as that is the grill my mom grew up with. Here is a picture of her family cooking out on it.
