Does this count as a RedHead?

[BigRix]

I've wanted one of these since I first got married but never could justify spending the money.

I had no problem shelling out the $20 for this one.



I'm gonna have lots of questions as I clean it up.

Got it from the original owner who is a real Weber guy.

He bought a new one that was bigger but still cooked on this one last week.

Started talking about how long it took to cook anything on his WSM and I immediately told him to give me a call if he wanted to get rid of it.

Still had the owners manual dated 1991.

Gonna dig through the manual now to figure out how the folding side table attaches. I think I'm missing a piece.

Any suggestions for stain color for the wood?

Great score, especially with side the burner!  I'm sure you'll be able to get plenty of answers here....

Haha rix. Was gonna call tomorrow if it was still there.  Did not have a chance to get that far north until Saturday.

This was the second day for the add and I was surprised it was still available.

About a ten minute drive from my house.

This thing is heavy! Interesting loading it in the back of my expedition.

Every red Weber is a redhead. That's a nice score!

Yeah BigRix, they fit fine in the back of my Expedition.

After you pick up a couple more, you'll take everything out of it, take off the lid and find you can lift them right in       You're just getting started   

Nice!

[BigRix]

Cleaned it up and it's looking great.





This is the side table that was removed when he added the side burner.



After a few minutes and it was still climbing when I shut it down.



Cooked some burgers on it last night. Delish.

Also found that the side burner is perfect for starting my chimney full of coal.

Very nice score!

BigRix, that's a beaut for sure.  Really incredible condition, perfectly preserved. 

Can you say more about the folding side table?  Is that the one that would fit on the left, and swing up into working position?  If so, it seems like you need a different end cap on the front frame tube... might have one I could send you if it's indeed missing. 

[BigRix]

The folding side table appeared to be mounted in the right side.

All the hardware except the pivot rod is there, I think.

Looks to me like it would have worked better on the right left side as the outer pivot bracket would have mounted in the rear of the tube instead of the front.

Maybe it was assembled wrong?

Edited because it too many beers to cook the pork loin and I don't know right from left

If that came with the left & right side flip table, but w/out the side burner --- I'd call it a 2200 model.  Schematic found here
http://help.weber.com/schematics/browse.aspx?all=1&model=221201

Meaning, you should have a flip table for both sides like this -



Last I checked, Weber still had the table hardware so you might be in luck.  If you get the tables they won't be redwood, but rather the gray durawood product.  Get the igniter rocker switch while you're at it.  (#92510)

I had asked a good while back for a gasser section as I was doing quite a few restores, but alas --- that also was left be the wayside.  So, I didn't feel a need to photo/document ant of my restores.  But if you have a question on something, I might be able to explain.

Congrats and good luck.

That bracket looks like some kind of fix to get the shelf on. The end cap is supposed to hold the shelf rod on. Let me know if you need parts, I have them. Also have a ton of original wood slats if you want to replace them.

this is mine with both side tables installed


300th post!

+1 for that bracket looking like a homemade item.  The factory would have shipped them with the dual-purpose end cap that tattoo has shown.  The other end of the rod fits into a hole in the frame.

Here's a closer photo of my side table, extended.  Note the end cap.  The photo also lets you see what the Durawood (aka, solid PVC) that Bman mentioned looks like.  I believe Weber still stocks these parts (mine were rescued from a hardware store that happened to be in Bman's old stomping grounds). 



Forgot to give you props for that incredible price, BigRix.  $20 is definitely a steal!

[BigRix]

I've got the original manual and it is definitely a 2 LP.



It shows the bracket that I have but the instructions show it being installed on the left side.



Here is my side folder, such as it is.





I seam to be missing the rod that it pivots on. I plan to make one.

This table seams to be much simpler in construction that the parts diagrams I am finding on line.

The slide bar assembly in particular is not used on this model.

[mike.stavlund]

My apologies, BigRix-- I stand corrected.  I had never seen a metal bracket like that.

Since you've got the parts numbers, you are way ahead of the game to call up Weber and get the stuff you're missing.  They just might have that stuff in stock.
