I'm not sure if you got that 'N' you were looking for, so I'll post one. 



This is from a gray one-touch.

OK, here's the infamous "Sideways "K" "

Very Rare.....



From a beater 22-1/2 Black, one metal handle (broke off) Lg. tab 3 wheel...
Accquired down the street from my brother's house in a neighborhood clean-up pile...

C  from an 18-1/2 Black Triple wood handle OTS....



Decent shape, source unknown...

L  from a 22-1/2 Black OTS, 3wood handles.....



from my ex-sister-in-law cleaning out her barn.....

G  is flashed out...needs a better pic
From Mae Belle, broken lid hanger.....

O  from an 18-1/2 Black 3 wheel, kinda beat, therm hole drilled in lip of lid....



Helped a friend move, the house across the street he said was vacant & they left their BBQ out front....

P is flashed out photo...
From a nice 22-1/2 Black OTS...
Thrift shop, $15

Unstamped 18-1/2 red,free from the neighbor on one side...
Two rivet wood handle top, Double strip metal handles sides....





This DT is from the neighbor on the other side...
Leans over the fence & says: "Hey, you want another Weber, we got a gas one & won't use this anymore..."



Sure, 18-1/2's from both neighbors...wonder what they have down the street?

Others need cleaning & better pix... You folks are gettin' me stirred up to clean, fix & otherwise gussie up the ones I have...

Been so busy cooking on most of them that they get crudded up before I know it !!

Here's a bump for all the newer members to show one of the many things we're all about. I've always been puzzled as to why "K" vents were always sideways.

Well, my two-tone red has a sideways K

Does that make it extra special

Very cool pictures everyone.  How difficult would it be to put them in order?   Any computer guru's out there, oldest to most recent.   

[1buckie]

Not too hard to do....maybe semi-standardize the pic size & see if we can gather them all up....

Get jackasses like ME to clean their damn vents before they take a picture...........

the pre-date code ones may become a small bit issue-bound, as there's some with no EXACT date.

I could do this & see if I can tag with each person's name w/ pic.........

Anybody notices something that's missing, load it up or figure out how to get the pic to someone who can, or even post that you NOTICE it's missing~~ prime opportunity to work together !!!!!


What's the vote, go A thru the letters & then the juicy stuff at the end, OR in oldest to newest, as best we're able?

Thanks Buckie, that's what's so cool about this place.  Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something. 

I will send/post a 1956 and a 2012 right now

"send/post a 1956 and a 2013 right now"

Fonzie's grill:



And I can put together a combo-file, like this one I did for another group I'm a member of.
I had these printed as posters for group members. 24 x 36. Turned out great.



Sort of like this:



Ideally, the pictures would be 300 dpi, and include the entire vent, and be in focus.

I like it!

I had another picture, this is a 1963 Imperial
