My oldest I think.  Can  somebody help with dating,model,  I don't think ash catcher is correct but I don't know for sure. Good shape I will eventually get it cleaned up. Thanks.

That is a beautiful thing right there Max.  Treasure that one.

Older than any I have, my WAG is mid to late 60s.

The ash pan is not correct. It's a late 70s early 80s ash pan.

Nice specimen BTW.
I've got Webers. 10 - WSMs, 5 - 22.5" kettles, 2 - 18.5" kettle, 2 - SJS, 2 - SJP, 4 - WGA, 1 vintage Coolie Pan

I only use kettles with lid bales.

@MadMax  that's a sweet Woodie! The ash pan is a '79-86 rolled edge twist. Yours is like mine in terms of age, 1962-63ish. Mine is wearing a '64-'79 straight edge twist. I think yours and mine and Jeff's originally came with the U cutouts with the clips..

That is sweet Max! That will clean up very nice. It looks like an 18 ash pan. Still an awesome grill.

@MadMax  if you don't want to use a twist style you can always do something like this and give it a '50s look and feel..
