Title: Rare Weber?
Post by: DonoBBQ on June 20, 2019, 11:13:52 AM
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?

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

In 1964 Weber went to a wood handle on the lid prior to then it was the rounded metal handle.
