I bet Ed knows what that is on top of this old sage gasser. I would love to have a grill just like this. I also find the two handles interesting.

I first saw that when it was posted here before. I have no clue what it is. Hogsy now has a sweet 81 catalog, maybe he can help. I will send that picture to some Weber old timers and see if they can identify it.
I think that guy is Mike Kemster, we can ask him.....
I wonder if that's also Mikes wife? I really like that sage green. I have never seen one like that anywhere. Do you own any gas kettles Ed? I am guessing it's some kind of vent.
It's not in the 81 catalog
It's gotta be from early to mid 70's judging by those clothes
Hey Duke, Do you have the whole catalog?

Don't I wish! Someone just posted this and another one here. I am always on the lookout for the old catalogs though.
Is that Henry Hill and Karen ???

The funny thing is the last time this was posted I said the same thing about this other one. It's Hendry to a "T" with nearly that same shirt.:D

I have met Henry and was invited to eat at his house, but I am sorry to say that my wife didn't want me to go, but to be honest I really didn't want to go either,
Oh well

I have not had a drink in over 13 years and we talked about that.

That's my gas kettle..... Well not that exact kettle but that is the same model as mine
Those were the days. :)
Karen's got nice tongs! :-* I too am curious what that black thing is on that sage gasser.
who cares whats on top of that sage
i want those tongs :P
Is that Billy Batts on the cooking grate? I wonder how they got him from the trunk to the grill?
Hogsy, is your gas kettle(s) LP or natural gas? The one in the picture looks to be a natural gas model because of the grey hose running behind it, that and no tank pictured.
Guys, is it me, or does the green two handled grill look larger thean the red one handled grill? Look at the side table for reference.
Are you suggesting a 26" gas kettle?!.
I was but the more I look, it just is not that big is it?
I assumed there was never a 26. Don't you agree Ed?
On the green, doesn't it look like the handle is wrong, in relation to the wheels?
After looking at it closely, I am beginning to believe it's for air flow. If you notice the lid doesn't have the big lip to accomidate the brackets that keep it raised for airflow. The lp is the same as the regular kettles have. The handles are also in a different position and there are two. I think it's just a totally different design than any of the others.
OK, I have it on good authority that the thing on top of the gas kettle was indeed a vent and it's over sized shape was for added weight. And that man in the picture is George Stephens Jr. That is a picture of a production model, that was available for sale. So, they're out there somewhere, maybe they are all in OZ.
