This popped up and it has a logo, "Schmidt Beer". Was a staple beer here back in the day. It is also Red, so how could I not? Both are discontinued... Picking it up after work.** Correction, Schmidt Beer is still available, I find out **

Nice! 8)
Nice score, Greg!
Ive never seen that logo before...AND on a red. Nice score!
Great score!!!!
We should come up with a huge thread of photos of logo Webers. I'd be very interested in seeing all of em. Hundreds have to exist.

Excellent idea, Smooth.
Nice score! I love a Redhead ;D
Nice redhead! And a daisy wheel to boot! :D

Sorry for the late post. I did pick the this up tonight. Need some help from WKC Grillafella's.
I received this from the original owner. Great guy, was surprised I showed up clean an not in a
beater pick-up truck. Now, here is where things don't make sense...Owner received this at the
opening of the "Landmark Brewery", formally the Schmidt Brewery. I am sure it is closed now.
It is RED and Daisy wheel vents, but an "EO". Should be a OTS?
Cleaning to follow...
Top Lid. It say's Schmidt's, that was he original name of the beer before it became Schmidt.

The bottom, all vents are marked "EO". It has the assembly of a 22" WSM with screws...

Now the triangle, it is powder coated black, as is the axle.

Owner said this is exactly how he received it. Told him about the Kettle Hobby, was happy it
was to a home it would be appreciated.(He had a Red Kettle he gifted to a family member, when he received this one, he just purchased a G/A Performer, talked him into using the gas assist...)
What is going on? First a Weber Gas Performer(Treat it well Ed), Pre 79 Yellow with a "D" stamp and now this?
Greg, it's almost like stray dogs at my place, they just seem to know where to go. You just keep getting the rare ones because it almost like they know where to go, where someone will take them in. And if need be, find a good home for them.
EO is 95, but I did not see black base triangles until 2011. But just like that Snap On SJ, Weber will do special things for private lable runs. But EO on all the vents seems overkill. Why go through the trouble of switching bowl vents out? Very strange.
Here's a picture of my '98 redhead that has the screws in the bottom vents and all have an EZ stamp in them. Is that not common? I believe they are original

I don't have answer. I have an EZ S/S, it has a OT system.
Nice find, that logo on that grill is probably worth more than the others because it's very rare.
This is a bit if a bump, but I was looking for info on black triangles. I have a P code red head daisy wheeler that has what I believe is an original black triangle. That is somewhat interesting. It seems maybe there were years after the OT system was introduced where the bar b kettles had black triangles?

G$, there was just recently one like mine posted, I believe with the same stamp code. I am wonder if the black triangle was only with the daisy wheel variety and not available with the OTS.
Yeah Greg, that is exactly what I am thinking. the daisy wheel bar b q kettles had black triangles, but the OTs did not.
Just an observation on this type stuff.............
In a manufacturing warehouse, a place like Weber, there's most likely a huge abundance of "spare parts"...........makes sense to me that for a 'special run' of something like the Orig post & the others mentioned, that they may end up "making up kettles"............in other words, WSM replacement vents, oddly coated triangles (was this a request by Schmidt Brewery, or something Weber thought might look nice at the time, or something left over from another 'special project' ?)
It's Red, fairly common for awhile ago, BUT daisy wheel, perhaps at that point beginning to take a back seat to the new & improved One Touch...............
Were the black triangles something they were testing out, a coating to prevent what's one of the problematic things about kettles: the regular ones ALWAYS rust at some point.......and maybe they had a bunch of 'testers' hangin' around, needing to be used for something?
The older Bar-B-Kettles didn't come w/ coated triangles, just after the OT system was brought forth, correct?
Kettle itself could maybe qualify as "spare parts" in the case of making stuff up for specific promotions?
Or, maybe I'm just makin' shit up......... 8)
"Or, maybe I'm just makin' shit up......... 8)"
I don't think so. My experience so far, the older triangles clean up way better than the new ones. The black triangle has some type of coating, not porcelain though. No rust at all on mine, also the wheels are old school with no white wall.
i can confirm, i got a '95 (EO) redhead daisywheeler and it does have the Black Triangle.

I think ( no actual proof, but people could check their new & old kettles & see what they think ) the older ones were a good, heavy chrome ......the newer are nickel plated, like the newer grates ?
I'd guess the coated ones would be some kind of plasticized paint......I have a few new ones....I'll look closer.......

Not sure about the triangles. In my limited experience, the triangle my original old '78 22" cleaned up real nice. The triangle on my even older 18" 'cado I picked up has rust I can't get off.
From the ones I have ( a lot of beaters & a few good ones) past a certain point it doesn't matter chrome, nickel, etc will come off & expose the metal under it & make it into hard work...........
In a way, it might have been nice to coat all of them from way back?
Some of them are best just painted, I suppose.................
Have we started a thread yet with just logo'd kettles?
I think it would be cool if we had a thread with just kettles with logos
Love them or hate them there out there and there seems to be a lot of them
