B Code Charcoal GA

[Cellar2ful]

Saw a charcoal GA on CL yesterday that had wood handles.  Made contact with the seller and arranged a pickup today with the intention of using the handles for a kettle I'm restoring.  Guess I didn't look closely at the add photo.






@Craig  -  What was the first year Weber produced the Go Anywhere Charcoal grill?

I believe that 1979 or A code was the first year of the go anywhere. But Craig would know better. Nice pickup.

Great find. I love the stubby legged GAs.

@kneab is correct. 1979 was the first year.

That's cool.
79 was first year A code, since you have code B you have short leg version where the grill sits lower than late 81' year to current GA's
I'll take that GA if willing to "catch and release"

Hey Jim, I think if you clean off all the dirt and grime, it might actually be a Red GA..
Lol..

Had to go back and look at the add photo.  Now I see why I missed that it had two rivet wood handles.




Also found the WKC Grill History link for GA's.  @Kneab  &  @Neil_VT00  are correct.  1979 Weber introduced the charcoal Go-Anywhere.

Nice score Jim. A piece of Weber history right there.

That's cool!  I would love to find one of those.

What are the odds that another two rivet handle GA would show up on CL in one week?  The add popped up Monday, one day after I picked up the first one. Picked it up today.  She and her husband bought it new in 1980, paying $70 for it.  This one is going to a local grillfella that texted me he was "on it".  He was really bummed when I told him I had already made contact and arranged a pick up.

Hip to be square, or rectangle, nice of you to pass it on
