Hi guys, sorry for the noob questions here. I need help identifying this cute new grill that @dazzo gave me the lead for. It kinda looks like a smokey joe but much bigger and still short. It doesn't seem to be an 18.5" as the grate size slightly different than my 18.5" grill. The vents are also on the side- wtf? Will this thing even cook a Chicago-style polish sausage? Whats the best way to set up charcoal on this thing? I like the lid locking contraption but does anyone know what the silver appendage sticking out of it is? Is the color original? The edge of the rim looks burnt and could use some touching up. I'm not really a fan of the red color anyway so maybe I'll paint it black to match my Ranch and 26.75" kettles. I also heard that (Gummi?) bears are attracted to red and I'm worried that a (real) bear will snatch it when I'm camping. What's a good paint to use? Top vent is stamped WEBER.Hope my pic below shows up. I'd appreciate any information you can give me on how awesome this grill is. Thanks in advance!
and yes wkc bears are very attracted to red kettles
Darn that is one of my grails
