Orange and Black Speckled Weber Bros 18 (pic heavy)

I just keep going back to look at it. Gives me wood every time... 

I brought up the idea of profile picture albums in the Suggestions section. This is the perfect example of what one could show off in his or her profile. Its always there, and can be found easily whenever.

It certainly is calendar and profile worthy. That beauty is one of a kind!!

Thank you.  It's always nice to know when someone other than myself is amused.  I just couldn't resist saying it after thinking it.

OK! That comment made me laugh out loud!

OMG!!  That is gorgeous!!!!

Well, another one has surfaced.  Not as heavily speckled with red as yours. This photo was posted today on the Facebook site Weber Kettle Fans.  The person said his friends mother got it for free and it is currently sitting in a campsite.

She will be sitting in a 5 star hotel drinking champagne cocktails if a collector finds her, just checked my bank account and it won't be me

Oh wow.. another one.. what a find! I can imagine there will be a lot of people trying to secure that custom...

Thanks for posting this.  I'm so happy to see another one of these surface.   Funny how this one was in Northern Wisc, and the one I have came from North Central Minn.  Probably less than a 2-hour drive from each other.  I wonder if this part of the country was a test area or something?

On a side note, when mine surfaced someone had said that it was probably a "Traveler" so I had set it up incorrectly (it didn't come with legs or a triangle) with wheels and a triangle pan.  They also said that because of it's age I should have painted the wheels white rather than red.  I guess this grill puts those thoughts to bed.

That's great that you've got a solid answer on what yours was supposed to look like and even better that you got it right!

Actually the very early Customs were indeed Travelers in two different sizes. Nice to learn new things huh?  Lol

Harris-
Thanks for replying.  The kettle you pictured has some very UNIQUE looking bowl handles.  Because of that I'm thinking it's possibly a pre-production kettle?  (That would also explain the "traveler" legs as it's an easy way to make it look complete.)  Or with those handles is it possible that maybe it's a 22"??

I guess I'm more inclined to trust a photo of a real "in the flesh" grill than a pic of what looks like a pre-production unit, but that's just me.

I'm pretty certain the one with the legs is nothing really special as my dad has two like them up in the attic from his days as a salesman.  Last time I looked at them, they didn't even say Weber anywhere on them.  Just some really nice somewhat knockoffs.

I thought my mailbox would have blown up within minutes, but 20 minutes went by without a peep.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist seeing if anyone would believe it.

@saxart such a cool and unique looking kettle!  Congrats on the find.
