Thanks everyone.


After a quick bath, razor blade scraping and steel wool polishing.
A borrowed leg from one of the smaller siblings seems to be just the right length.
This was worth the 160 mile road trip. My wife and kids came along too. We were on the road by 6:30am Plus we lost an hour because of stupid daylight savings time.

Hardest part was choosing between this and a 26" Brownie. 🤔😣
There was also a brand new black 22" C code three wheeler. 😣 three perfect wood handles, ash pan inside and unused grates.

Thanks Craig.

It's got small vent tabs on the bowl vents.
Does that make it pre '74?

Multiple kettles and WSM's. I am not a collector, just a gatherer... and a sick bastard.

I believe it would be a 73 or 74. Weber started the patent # in 73 and switched to the large, dual bowl tabs in 75'.

If they took credit I would have taken all three.
But overall the black one was nicer.
