if it was a 53 would it have the dash in the numbering as above?

Thanks Joel

if its a 54 the nuber reads 1 - something


yours reads 156 8274 so as late 56 or early 57

my June 56 reads 1227636

cool thanks guys for your replies

It hasn't got the dash after the 1 which means it's after the 1millionth model which was in 55

By the way, the idiot guide..... great for getting the BBQ started with that's bout all though

Might fire up the BBQ this weekend. Thanks again
