Has anyone ever done a side by side comparison with euro burgundy and plum? From the pictures the plum looks like it has more purple in it.

^^ Those are burgundy. More red, less purple to them.

I've never seen any Plum portables shared here. I've seen 18s, 22s and I think maybe an SSP. No Master-Touch.

Obviously the CGA there, being colored, predates Crimson, and they don't make a Crimson CGA today.

And Crimson would be a matte finish instead.

See the europe models on http://blog.grilykrby.cz/proc-je-dobre-mit-maly-gril (http://blog.grilykrby.cz/proc-je-dobre-mit-maly-gril)
One of them seems like the kettle you wrote

Here (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/member-sales-trades/for-sale-or-trade-crimson-smokey-joe-gold-(un-used)-with-zavod-handle/msg155115/#msg155115) is a Canadian crimson:

(http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab326/mcgolden67/20150410_104228_zpslw59hir9.jpg)

Pretty close... hard to say with the lighting. Maybe we need to send a Canadian crimson down under for a side-by-side comparison...  8).

1112304 is the serial number for the Euro crimson, and 1112301 is the Canadian crimson (no taco handle).
 
@Hogsy , do you have the box/serial number for your Euro plum?

My vote is Euro Brick Red.  Too shiny for crimson.

Looks like brick red to my eyes as well. It's essentially a gloss finished version of the crimson color

@DrewZ   Your pic looks like it was taken on an overcast day (did I say "overcast", that's one of my favorite brews: Oakshire Overcast Espresso Stout, yummmm).  Please take another on a sunny day, same location, etc.  I'm beginning to question my own color sanity ;D  :)

Nice SSP. That's the next color to find for my collection. Beautiful.

@mhiszem that looks like burgundy to me , but I guess it's all here say on the actual colours until we see some proof. Like catalogues or boxes

Yeah, I would be curious to see the catalogs back then or what the item number descriptions are.

@Winz Did you come across any catalogs that call out the colors when you did your performer or smokey joe history?
Title: Re: Plum Smokey Joe?
Post by: addicted-to-smoke on December 12, 2017, 03:44:46 PM
I still say Plum right up there.

And this being the Internet, I can never be wrong, which comes in handy.

We have a rather extensive database of the SJ model numbers/colors/logos, but no mention of plum/burgundy.... so far....

Thank You  Hogsy, RR & Addicted 2 Smoke  ...  a very interesting cruise down technicolor lane.  I still need to see the SSP listings for colors to find my EO-codes "true" nomenclature. :)
