It's rough, but it'll make a decent cooker either way.
The pictures don't show the purpleish hue I see.

not a plum! i'd say thats the burgundy color.

Looks exactly like the EO Burgundy MT I recently grabbed. Awesome find!!! Does look like Plum in fluorescent light.

Yeah those don't come up often. The color I believe IS burgundy. They offered them in 1997 but it sure about before or after. Jeff K has one too. I love this color MT.
-
Not to hijack the thread but this makes me wonder if my MT is red or Burgundy. It's a P code, what colors were offered in '93?

Hijack away. ..post a pic

Nice score! Burgundy color is lot different than Red or Red mist MT.
This pic is from The Weber Master Touch History. Red on the left and the burgundy between blue and green.

I thought burgundy and plum were the same, plum being a nickname like brownie for copper mist or lime for, well, lime.

Well shit...now there is another color I'm after. My goal is to have my backyard look like a bag of skittles with all the colors

No, there is a distinct difference:

Brick Red and Crimson are easier to differentiate in pictures.

@pbe gummi bear; Help !!!
From our Performer History pages; "... the SS performer had an integrated, removable thermometer located in the lid handle. Colors offered in Gen 1 include Black, Red, Red Mist, Dark Green, Dark Blue, Plum, and Grey. "
(http://pics.weberkettleclub.com/images/2017/03/08/1995PlumGen1Performer.jpg)
From our Master Touch History pages; "In addition to green, blue, and black, the Master Touch was also offered in red, red mist, copper mist, grey and burgundy. The model was only offered in the 22.5” size. Weber produced the Gen 1 Master Touch in the US from 1992 until 1999, at which time both the BAR-B-KETTLE and the Master Touch were discontinued."

Uh, I'm not the best person to ask for this because I never had the patience to track the nuances of when these colors where available when and for what model. It's the source of much debate! I definitely have seen a Plum SS performer and a burgundy Master Touch but I don't recall seeing the vice versa. Plum IS available for regular OT 18's and 22's. I believe the grill in the first post is a burgundy/maroon and NOT the plum/purple/aubergine/eggplant color.

@pbe gummi bear I hear you. I now believe that either our documentation needs a review or Weber played fast and loose with their nomenclature. My SSP is called plum in our doc's, but it looks like the light burgundy of the later MT. Of course, the fruit plum comes in both burgundy and purple based on variety :) . In any case, that's all of the conjecture I can handle this late at night.

word. We'll let the peanut gallery decide.
Set the scene:
I get an e-mail from @SmokenJoe on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend with a link for a $60 Red SS Performer. I'm loaded up to help my teammate cook for a Baseball Tournament Fundraiser Saturday morning and there is no way I'm going to be able to get to it. The craigslist post stated it was a one day sale from 9-4 with "no early birds". Kind of a downer!
Wake up Saturday and my buddy Mark texts me and is already setup and smoking (nervous energy!), so I find out the address is on my way to the Tournament and I swing by @ 8:15AM and I can see the Performer from the road with a couple guys huddled around it (DAMN Early Birds!). It is a junkyard lot with a couple storage buildings on the property and a few 1-800-GOT-JUNK trucks parked outside.
I get up to the grill and it turns out the guys around it were looking at bicycles, and I just bulldoze my way through and drag it near my SUV. The lady in charge of the sale came up and I shot her a lowball, but she had a list of items from the CL ad and stuck firm. I load it up and off I go to to the ball fields.
Didn't think much of it, it sat in the car overnight, rainy overcast weekend, but it looked darker than my Redheads, and it sat next to my comp trailer (Maroon BTW) until Monday, and I'm really not getting the picture - its not a Redhead!!

Fast forward Friday - 4th of July weekend:
Larry makes the trip North to visit the family-we hook up and @SmokenJoe is in possession of his next Weber project!!

Nice pick up, looks great!

All I can say is, if I had the room, I'd have every color...

It's certainly an interesting color.
I have plans to make a slight mod to this one...maybe

Maybe they did make a Burgundy SSP....(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170309/d2de730b014e428ac17c44644342abac.jpg)

So is plum actually a Weber colour ? Has anyone seen a box with the colour plum on it?
Could it just be that there were slight changes in the paint over different years of production but both colours are still Burgundy? @Craig
Here's a pic of a Burgundy GA box. Fact!

@Hogsy Now THAT's a PLUM ... or is it a Burgundy :) Beautiful GA ...

1) Yes there was a burgundy SSP. In addition to the ones shown in this thread, my brother-in-law has one purchased from a member here.
2) "Plum" is not a nickname for burgundy. It's another rare color only offered a couple of years around that 2000/2001 timeframe. It simply looks dark-purplish, more so than the burgundy.
-
So Plum, Burgundy and Brick Red were all offered by weber at the same time?
Seems weird they would sell pretty much 3 of the same colour at the one time
Has anyone seen a box or have a catalogue that names Plum as a colour?
I can’t rest till I have proof 🙄
-
Same years? I never considered that. But yes, I'd agree with same "timeframe". Burgundy a little earlier (late '90s) Plum after that, Brick Red whenever Kraft wanted them (sorry, best I got on that.)
-
My "Burgundy" (aka Weber "Plum"???) was on my SSP when I picked her up from Brian. Vent code ... EO --> '95. See comparison picture (red vs. Burgundum) above.

not a plum! i'd say thats the burgundy color.
Looks like the new type of Weber Mater Touch - we call it "brick red" by us , see pictures http://www.grilykrby.cz/products/gril-weber-master-touch-gbs-57-cm-cihlove-cerveny/ (http://www.grilykrby.cz/products/gril-weber-master-touch-gbs-57-cm-cihlove-cerveny/)

I have owned 4 kettles as described in pt 2 of this post, over the years. All 4 were the darker "purple" looking colour described as plum by most.
None of them were with an original box so I don't know what the official Weber colour was called. However, what I do know is the date codes on each.
DD 2000 - OTS 22
DA 2001 - OTS 18
DU 2002 - OTG 22
DT 2003 - OTP 22

"My" DD plum OTP. Looks more purply.

Yes, in that light w/ that color rendition, definitely PLUM looking. At least THREE distinct colors: Burgundy, Plum, & Brick Red. ??? ??? ???

That link called it cihlově červený = terra cotta in English?

Crimson isn't too far off in shade.
[Red and Red Mist and Limited Edition Red]
I still maintain that the Plum is altogether dark purple in a way the burgundy and brick red are not.
-
Does anyone have the the 99,00,01,02 catalogues that might show colours available for those years?
@reillyranch
-
Does anyone have the '95 catalog that should resolve the plum/burgundy issue w/ the SSP that I have?
@reillyranch

Both the Redmist MT and Burgundy OT+ are "EO" code.
