Had no idea what is was when I went to pick it up 1.5hrs away. From the ad, it said New in Box Weber for $20 Cad. And from the few pics, it looked like a black 18 with wooden handle. Initially, I wasn’t interested in going that far for another reg. 18 even for that price. After 3 days, I still see the ad and reply to it to see if still available. He has and I track out next day.
When I got there, I was bit disappointed . It is not 18 but 22. The lid vent had huge gap, bolted on with no Weber markings on it. No marking on wooden handles either. Also, good as a new condition but not new. Maybe cooked once or twice. I almost walked away from this but I pick this up anyways reluctantly.
Definitely made by Weber as the Box is a Weber box. Interesting how the lid vent has no Weber lettering embossed and is bolted on vs riveted on. I had to take the lid vent off and curve it as it was on flat with huge gap. No grate straps, bolted on bowl vents. K Lid vent code and M bowl vents code. I am actually glad I picked this up. Possibly the only Sears 22 in this condition in Ontario. Proud to be including this kettle into this years cooking rotation.
