Title: Finally a member of the Redhead club.
Post by: Darko on June 08, 2016, 04:56:12 PM
I can understand the appeal. 1995 EO code with a fade.

That's nice!  Noob question though,  the fade happens over time or did they come that way?

They come that way. And every one is unique from what I've seen, and..not all Redheads have a fade.

Congrats, @Darko !  My very first Weber kettle rescue was a redhead ... EO One-Touch.

I almost freaked-out the first time I saw the colour-change happen ... Thought something was wrong.

I still love staring at that redhead.  8) :D

@MacEggs   Thanks to you. You let a fellow member know about me. So now he has a Simpsons Smokey & I have this Redhead. I met @Lerxst  today to make the swap. Happy people all around.

It's also got that charcoal grate with the indent's for fire starters, and a hinged cooking grate, both that are in excellent condition, plus it's a three wheeler!!!!

Got them on eBay. Teleflora mini weber planters. There is a newer one available in black. Still looking for one.

Touch? Mine's a 3 wheeler? It's a silver so is that different?

Congratulations on the trade @Darko. You will find when you get a redhead hot they turn a deep, angry red color.  I have one the same two tone red color I bought new in 1999 (EE M/T).

Yeah, I've actually got a redhead hot and angry. 31 years later... Oh we're talking about kettles.  Sorry, got distracted for a moment.

Not sure for all Redheads, but for Redhead MT's ( from my research ), 91 to 93 and up to 94 did not have fade ring and later years came with fade. So, I think all mid to later 90's Red came with fade ring and prior year models did not.  Still not sure for any given year if both fade and non-fade were offered at same time or not. 

I am sure some expert will chime in and either correct me or add more concrete info.on exact years for fade and non-fade Reds.
