Knows what a fatty is.
I spotted what I think is a Bar B kettle today, it has no name anywhere or date stamp. Anyone have pics to help ID.
Thanks

The Bar-B-Kettles are the 22 & 26" kettles and the Bar-B-Q-Kettles are the 18".
Good stuff Brian. I am confused though:
Larry said his was 26", but it looks like the vent wheel is stamped " Bar-B-Q-Kettle".
This is an old topic but I just gotta revive it. I asked our local scrapper yesterday if he had a lid for a 22 1/2" round grill and he told me he did. Went to the local Indy bike shop today to ask where he lived and the lid was there for me. It's an old Weber with "Patent Pending" stamped on the vent.
Didn't think much of it at the time but I did ask where he lived so I could see if he had the cooking grate. He did as well as the bottom so I took it for free.
After doing some research it seems it pre 1970 because the patent was issued in Nov. of 1970.
The idea was a lid and grate for my UDS but now...........I need to go back and see if the legs and wheels are there cuz I'm thinking restoration now.
Any of you Weber Guru's out there have any idea how old it might be?
That would make it an early to mid '70s then. Maybe as old as late 60s. The leg socket has a dimple in it that creates a pressure point on the leg to hold the leg in. A modern leg and wheel kit from Weber will fit.No luck on the legs and wheels. This one doesn't have the thumbscrew holes to secure the legs into the bottom??
