Today I'm working in an unnamed city around Chicago suburbs and seen what appears to be an early Weber 18 but it had short skinny straight legs that seemed to stick in the ground? I plan on going back to chew his ear about it but any ideas what I'll be looking at?
Pictures would help a lot.

Possible traveler, no wheels or triangle, and was an 18, if memory serves me correctly they were thumbscrew
