Inkaddictedchef1, you are right. I completely missed the A code on the lid vent.  Not trying to misrepresent

@ScottZee, thanks. When smoking on it do you use the snake method?  How do you set the bottom vents to control heat.

Catskill and Potsie, thanks

No, only the flat tops. When the 26 was re-introduced for 2008 the lid took on the more "normal" dome shape and so, the grill grate height was raised. The charcoal grate was also raised, making both grates for flat top 26's different from today.

I believe that the first couple-few years of the 26 had a domed lid and the lower grates, THEN Weber went to the flat top lid. Professor @Craig  Professor @zavod44  can you schoolbus on the history of the 26 lid shape?

Oh OK. That vaguely rings a bell. Maybe I've not seen one.
