Just thought I'd share a few pics of a few of my Vintage pre-date stamped Weber kettles.
22", 26.75" Bar-B-Q-Kettles and a Smokey Joe.
I modified the 26.75 with a Summit grill thermometer and bezel in the lid.
I love cooking indirect on this, the grate is lower than the new OTG's, but the lid fits perfectly on my 85 gallon Drum Smoker!
I attached lengths of expanded metal to a pair of charcoal rails and can get quite a bit of fuel without reloading.
