Title: A nice Red halloween treat
Post by: charred on October 31, 2015, 04:49:40 PM
Picked up this beauty today. Vg cond throughout. The ash sweep is so clean on the underside that the thumbscrew unscrewed w/ just my fingers. That was pretty cool. It's an ER ('96). The food grate was upgraded to a hinge somewhere along the way.

Sold by the son of the original owners and was always stored in a shed.  Sorry for the sun glare- it does detract from the lid fade. You can sorta see it w/ the right angle. Also, no underside bowl pics.

That is a beauty for sure!  Love those candy pics.  Good idea.   :) :)

My very first Weber kettle rescue was a redhead .... EO (1995), and it had the hinged cooking grate.  I'm guessing that was NOS for the time.

Me likey the red, polish those gams and she'll be even more beautiful. I know I'm a chocolate fiend because those are full sized bars and not the bite sized ones,your house is truely Halloween worthy.

Thanks, folks.

Re: the candy....my generation was given "real" candy bars back in the day and by gawd I'm gonna keep the tradition alive. It costs a little more but it's worth the kids' excitement. No trick-or-treater deserves a mini candy bar. :)

We also insist the kids take an apple. No apple, no candy. It's a pretty easy sell. Lol.

Nice grab!!!  She's a beauty. I have an "M" code in the same color. They get nice & dark when you get them hot. Once I have my yellow restored, I will have them side by side for a color change photo session.
