Title: Is this a Weber?
Post by: tb80 on September 29, 2014, 05:46:50 PM
And if so, how old is it and how much would you offer to pay?(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/29/6b8d59225e148c2150182c821950afbf.jpg)

Yes, that is an early "3-wheeler" SJ.   It appears to be a C-code or later as evidenced by the cook-grate groove I think I see in the side of the bowl.   Earlier code models (A and B code) had small tabs welded in to hold the cook grate up.

Value?  Kind of in the eye of the beholder.   I've paid as little as $10 for a couple of these I own.  I've paid more for others.

How do they cook?  I already have a SJS and SJG.  Is it worth picking it up for $10?

^ Great advice from a SJ guru!

I'd also agree and say somewhere in the $10 (great deal) - $30 (fair price) mark would probably about right. Depends how bad your case of the itis' is ;)

Personally, I think the 3-wheelers like are MUCH better cookers (capable of higher temps) than the later SJS and SJG models.  Besides, if you don't have one of these, then you NEED one anyway!   8)

Thanks for the quick response.  I will email the seller and see if it is still available.

Seeing the ridge in the bowl to hold the grate, that is either a C, D, or maybe an E code.
