Title: Prolific redheads
Post by: MartyG on September 29, 2012, 03:44:54 PM: Pictures tomorrow of the new-to-me 18" redhead. (I know, not fair) Kettle is in near new condition. Triple wood handles are in great shape. Shipped my current 18 redhead today on a trade for a 22. BTW, USPS shipping from the East Coast to Wisconsin: under $18.

Stay tuned.

It was listed on Clist as "Cornhusker Red" charcoal grill.

Had a chance to clean up the new girl - she's a '97 18" beauty! Will need a new top grate, but everything else is in amazing shape. Found this one near home here in Southern PA. A bit of oven cleaner (I ran out, so the interior still needs work) and Mother's metal polish is all it took. I used a little Watco Danish oil on the handles, and they turned out fantastic! This one's a keeper!
