I'm still waiting to see someone cook on one of these, and yes in their fireplace!
Will you be the first, here?

One of the rarest grills out there. I think only two known of here in the club. This makes three. Lucky bastard! And yes, let's see it fired up.

The Weber restaurant in STL has one on display.
[edit] Correction: There's is an 18, like most are. (I don't think I've ever seen a 22 before.)

That is the rarest of the rare.

Interesting double handles on the lid of this one that cwestsmokin scored. First one I have see like that. The one that is featured on the WKC 1964 Fireplace article also has one handle.
http://weberkettleclub.com/blog/2014/01/15/1964-weber-fireplace-covered-barbecue-kettle/
This photo that was posted 2 years ago on a Facebook Weber kettle site also had one handle. All of these have no lid vent, unlike the one @harris92 has. Interesting differences from year to year. Having no lid vent, are they dated by the vent on the top of the bowl? I tried reaching out to the person that posted this photo but never received a response.

The 18s all seem to have one lid handle. Would there have been a 22 like that? This is our first 22 here, is it not?

Thanks guys , looking in the 1966 catalog, it shows a lady at the fireplace with a 22 red lid ,down the page they show the all black like mine ,2 handles . Looks like the 18's had one , the 22's had two. Is this the first 22 you guys have seen ? Thanks Craig
