Title: Today's Pickups
Post by: landgraftj on May 30, 2013, 05:30:00 PM: Here ya go...not bad considering I only wanted the plum 18er. Got the smokey joe thrown in for free and paid $20 for the Bears grill. The original listing said it was a Bears Weber Smokey Joe but did not have a picture. Took a chance and unfortunately its a giant helmet grill, lol! Not sure what color handles I'll need for the plum but I'll be in touch with you soon Brian. Stu, do you have a plum one like this?

I haven't seen these on the forums too often, but they do come in the most random models, like 18" OTP.

Post by: Jeff on May 31, 2013, 04:04:34 AM: Just to be a little more clear, there is an obvious difference in color from burgundy to plum, eggplant or whatever color its being called.

Here is a pic of a red MT next to a burgundy one. There is clearly no purple, plum, eggplant coloring in it. I've seen a plum one in person, it has definite purple coloring in it. Terry...bring your plum 18 on the 15th...we'll put it next to my two MT's.
