I have an 1997 red kettle Weber and I am trying to determine the value. It's in very good condition. Seldom used and always covered. Any resources out there?
we are the resource.
if you have a master touch and it's in mint condition, you should be able to get 50-75 out of it
if its its only got a few chips, its probably still worth 30-50, depending on where you live
value is really subjective...Are you looking to sell your red kettle here? Typically your looking at anywhere from $25-$75 for it depending on model.
troy beat me to it... but yes I concur
If your are near Milwaukee, I'd gladly take if off your hands.

Thank you for the info. I am not really looking to sell it. I was talking to a Weber rep today and he said this color was discontinued so I was curious. I live in California by the way.
Is there a way to attach a picture for you?

Would love to see some pictures of that '97 red. Here's how to post pictures.

Hey Strob, welcome. Nice grill. Your mt is a good example but it's not perfect. You got a chip on the lip and you're missing the thermometer shroud. Guys on the site typically pay anywhere from 40-75 for a MT in good nick. If it were perfect, it could be higher. How much higher? Dunno man, we don't have enough data points to tell you for sure. The MT is much newer- than a MBH for example- so they are more commonly found in good shape.
Very nice.

Thanks again for all of the help.
Nice looking grill. It would clean up really nice. Perhaps Weber may still have the thermometer shroud for sale.

I recently bought a Red Master Touch at an estate sale for $45.
I cleaned it up and it's become my Go-To cooker.
I love it.

I think paid 35 for mine in pristine shape. remember Rick - yours came WITH A ROTI ring for that price............
Red MT is the epitome of weber perfection (IMO!)
BigRix - very nice matching setup. That M/T is absolutely beautiful!

Hi Strob! Welcome to the site! That's a pretty nice red MT you have there. MT kettles, though not made anymore, are far from rare. I agree with what is being said ($30-$70 range) depending on condition. BNIB would be the one exception of taking it north of $100. IMO.
Considering a new Crimson Red OTG is $159 plus tax, $100 for a red MT in decent condition doesn't sound too bad if you are going to buy a grill. Can you find them cheaper? Sure....just trying to put things in perspective. Im guessing a BNIB red MT would fetch far north of $100.
