Wow, great find and AWESOME price. Been looking for months and all new 26" are sold out.

Congratulations enjoy you 4th of July cooks!

Came to 50.26 after fees and taxes, and a 3 hour tour to pick it up. Need to hug the bowl or lid, maybe both a little bit tomorrow, but other than that it's like brand new, and was only missing a lid bale washer. Got her cleaned up, and I might take her to the brother in laws for the 4th! Oh and I had to smack the bowl with a rubber mallet a little to get the ash catcher to clip on. They just had all of the pieces tossed In a box, so it also has a few little dings.

Thanks fellas! I need to go pick it back up from my brother In laws. It just got rained on! Lol

Hey quick question I just picked up a used 26er but seems pretty new but it doesn't have a date/code stamped on the top damper. I was wondering if yours was stamped or did they stop doing that on the new ones?

Interesting,  replacement lid maybe

That would be my guess. I've got a new copper lid coming. I'll have a look at the vent.

It's a warranty lid.

I got a warranty lid last winter and it didn't have the stamp either.

The biggest clue is that all the newer 26's (after around 2013?) have a laser serial number and a date code. If it has a taco shield and doesn't have those numbers/codes...it was replaced by the factory.

I'm pretty sure mine has a serial number, I'm not positive though. My wife got me the hunsaker for it though!

Looks good Andy!
