Killer Deal Last Week

I was driving to work a few minutes after 9 am and saw a big "Garage Sale" sign up ahead. I slowed a little to take a look as I went by, they had just opened. There in the driveway stood a WSM. I wasn't sure which one but I slowed way down and did a U turn ASAP. Parked in their drive, got out and walked up to take a closer look.

A 22" WSM on caster wheels, 2 half bags of charcoal, most of a large bag of apple wood chunks, a cover, a charcoal starter--AND a complete IQ-120 Air Controller. I quickly add up everything in my head (over $600 new) and crap my pants when I see the price

...$50.00 I quickly paid for it and loaded up. It needs a little clean-up but otherwise it's in great shape.

The only thing I don't understand is there is NO DATE CODE on the top vent. Can someone tell me what that means?

IQ120

Awesome score, can you see a faint serial number on the top vent, a couple of letters and then numbers ?

I used my 100W trouble light and looked at it from every angle, can't see a thing.

I'm no WSM expert, maybe one of the other guys can chime in on date code

Amazing deal - congrats!

Lack of date code/serial # on the lid vent could indicate that it is a warranty replacement lid. I've had a couple of lids replaced under warranty that have blank vents.

Check the lower vents too. My 2011 AA code has them on all vents, and yours has the temp probe grommet so its at least a 2013.

I'm still waiting to find one for under 100. You got the deal with the pitmaster for sure

No date code for a newer WSM usually indicates a warrantied part. So the lid was probably replaced by Weber Customer Service sometime back.
