Hi guys, sorry for the noob questions here. I need help identifying this cute new grill that @dazzo gave me the lead for. It kinda looks like a smokey joe but much bigger and still short. It doesn't seem to be an 18.5" as the grate size slightly different than my 18.5" grill. The vents are also on the side- wtf? Will this thing even cook a Chicago-style polish sausage? Whats the best way to set up charcoal on this thing? I like the lid locking contraption but does anyone know what the silver appendage sticking out of it is? Is the color original? The edge of the rim looks burnt and could use some touching up. I'm not really a fan of the red color anyway so maybe I'll paint it black to match my Ranch and 26.75" kettles. I also heard that (Gummi?) bears are attracted to red and I'm worried that a (real) bear will snatch it when I'm camping. What's a good paint to use? Top vent is stamped WEBER.

Hope my pic below shows up. I'd appreciate any information you can give me on how awesome this grill is. Thanks in advance!

You know better than anyone what that is. That is one seriously good looking Smokey Joe Platinum /Jumbo-Joe Redhead with fade.

Is that a EZ code? Or is it one of EO,ER,EI,EE code. Very entertaining to say the least. I love it!

Great score!
I've been lucky enough to see one in person, @mike.stavlund has one too, great little grill

It's definitely salvageable. Scuff up the finish with a heavy scrub of Barkeeper's Friend, then paint it Home Depot Orange. Hope you didn't pay too much for it though!
