    Is this really a Weber Kettle?

    So we're on vacation and the house we are renting has what at first appears to be a Weber kettle. I was happy to see it (despite lacking a chimney starter) and have been cooking up some fun meals for the family on it. But as I've been using it I've noticed some differences - all in the bottom half. The way the legs attach, the stepped shape, the lack of a cleaning mechanism, and the bottom vent system. So is this thing just a really old Weber Kettle that's been updated with some newer handles or is it some kind of Frankenstein Kettle?

    Weber Jumbo Joe. Less expensive than original kettle, but will make fine food!

    It looks like the Walmart Jumbo Joe Premium. Someone put the handles on upside down.

      You guys are great!! Yeah the handle on upside down was what first drew my eye to the base and the odd shape...

        On a side note/question - where can I get that top handle heat shield? Do I just have to call Weber and order a replacement from a different model?
