Three Spoke EE

[Lemans]

I picked up a EE 3 wheeler the other day. And while I was cleaning her up to take some picture
A realized that the triangle only has three spokes..
What's the story with that.  I was going to seek / trade her but if it's
And oddity maybe I will keep it...https://www.flickr.com/gp/149237698@N03/t3063z

Not an oddity. Just a budget model kettle. Stripped down to it's kettle essence. Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Is that why it a three wheeler and doesn't have sweeps and an ash pan..
My other EE redhead is an MT with all the bells and whistles.. so to speak

Does it say Bar B Kettle on the lid vent? Does it have one bowl handle? Do the wheels have no white wall but still say Weber on the black wall?

They're called "Bar-b-kettles" or sometimes "Barbie" kettles. Just like 56mpg says, it's a budget model. I see them on Craigslist quite a bit, so not rare. I used to have one years ago...they cook just fine.

Copied from the WKC Master Touch History article.

With the 1992 introduction of the Weber Master Touch, Weber provided a model designed to provide the serious griller with a serious grill. It contained all the bells and whistles. At the time, Weber was creating a “good, better, best” approach to its charcoal grills. The 22.5” kettle lineup for 1992:

-BAR-B-KETTLE with 3 user installed daisy wheels, single front bowl handle (wooden), disk ash catcher with clips, black wheels, single center spoke triangle frame

-One Touch Kettle with one touch cleaning system replacing the daisy wheels, standard cooking grate, dual bowl handles (wooden), disk ash catcher with clips, white wall Weber wheels, standard triangle frame

-Master Touch Kettle: All of the features of the One Touch kettle plus an integrated lid bale, removable lid thermometer below the handle, enclosed ash can and ring assembly, flip style grates, and charcoal fuel baskets.

-Performer kettle: All the features of the Master touch installed in an integrated cart with charcoal storage and available gas assist starting.

Weber produced the Gen 1 Master Touch in the US from 1992 until 1999, at which time both the BAR-B-KETTLE and the Master Touch were discontinued.

Where can an ash can be found for a EE MT?

@Marbob1

That's an older style one.....

Post a "Looking For" thread in "Member Sales & Trades" section & folks will help get you set....either by having a spare one or how to fit the newer style onto yours......
