Should I go grab this?

[Walchit]

What do you guys think about this one? I offered 25, but the guys says he has someone coming Friday to get it for full price. 50.

I can whittle a new handle for it out of some cedar I have. And I think it would be pretty cool.

New to webers and just saw my first 22" wsm in person at the store yesterday. They are impressive.

I will try to attach the pics

From the ad

     "Not sure what brand it is but looks very similar to the Weber smoky mountain that I have"

I guess I probably should have just put this in online finds, sorry guys. Just read the description, and my post doesnt really fit here

Yes, you should go grab it.

Its an hour away but that's not too bad. Is it the 14 inch you think? The guy said anytime after 5. I will try one last time to talk him down, at least to 40. Since it doesn't say weber on it lol

[Mr.CPHo]

I think it's an 18" based on the hinged grate.  TMK a 14" hinged grate doesn't exist.  I also think the mid section may be upside down based on how high the door is, and that may explain why we don't see the top grate straps.  Initially I thought the top "lip" looked legit, but now I think it's the bottom rib that fits into the bowl.  I also see down through the bottom vents which means the water bowl isn't inside.

Only one way to find out

I wondered about it not having the top grate. I will see what the radar looks like tonight, and might go grab it. I appreciate the info!

Idk what the wife will say but oh well

I would have been on this. Worst case its not a weber best case it is .

I'm pretty sure it is, I read thru a couple threads about ones with plain vents from the 80's and 90's

That is an 18" WSM. A steal at $50.

I believe that is the same one Red_5_Wrangler posted earlier.

Good eye Charlie...I was wondering why I didn't see the grate straps (because the middle is upside down ).

When I first saw it I wondered if maybe they didn't have a top grate on old ones or something lol. Hopefully I can get this thing.

[Walchit]

Got it! Pics tomorrow. It seems to be in pretty good shape but its dark out.

I also got a smoky Joe and a little cooler from someone else for 4 bucks while I was up there. Missing the cooking grate though

[Walchit]

The wsm does have steel legs. I need to find the post I was just reading the other day about a prototype or something with steel legs. Idk. I'm actually hoping this thing isn't super rare, cause I wanna cook on it lol.
Here are a couple crappy pics
