Okay. Here she is....



I had been looking to get myself a Red 2 tone Mastertouch and 604 got hold of me and was trying to hook me up with something in my price range.  It was looking like it was not going to happen when this little beauty happened along.  The way it worked out this did not put 604 out much and he gifted it to me.  I arranged for shipping and in turn I am sending a little care package back in return.

Without further delay..............













This is the first time I have seen a redhead in the flesh. Wow!!!! I had thought to call this cooker Nails but I think not. She's still way too much of a beauty to do that.  The seal between the lid and bowl of this redhead is almost air tight - this ought to make a amazing smoker.  I think I might name this one Aretha.

Thanks for the gift and the help 604, you be well.

This is a great board with some fine folks here. I have always thought and said the small board is your friend.  I am right on this.

Take care all,

Hoss

Plenty of Time..............

Quote from: MrHoss on August 29, 2014, 05:48:59 PM
Not sure if this is even possible here guys - but I am gonna give it a shot.  Dad had one of the Red Genesis gassers with the wood side tables in the 80's. We grew up with that thing and it has a good place in my memories.  It now resides at my brother-in-laws.  Dad gave it to him when he got a Vermont Castings and soon regreted it. So when I got my first Kettle and soon began adoring the thing my thoughts drifted back to that red Genesis. 

A 3 wheeler would be nice but a one-touch system enables me to cook on a wood deck under cover during rain and snow. This will be my first redhead and I want her to be beauty and versitile.  I live in Canada so this is a prime consideration.  Shipping is going to be a consideration as well.  I think I have an idea what it is going to cost but I have never done this so will need some advice.  A member in the Detroit area has agreed to help agent so if shipping to Canada is cost prohibitve then an alternative is there.  A trip to Detroit for me is a 3 hour roundtrip drive.

What I am seeking - a 2 tone Red Mastertouch.  Wood handles would be nice but they could be added later.  Condition - as good as possible.  As blemish free as she can be and mintish is my dream. 

The tax man will be sending me a couple hundred bucks shortly and I will have birthday money soon so I figure I better start planning.  Adding more kettles obtained in the States and shipped is not something I forsee myself able to do going forward so I want this one to last me.  Pickings used up here in Canada suck.  What is available for the most part are overpriced black OTS's.  What I am looking for will never turn up where I live.

EDIT:  I figure I will widen my search to include Mastertouch models as well as One Touch Plus and One Touch Silver models.  I am going to Detroit soon so to make this happen I must act. Any and all help in getting me a red would be appreciated.  The model need not have all parts.  Lid, bowl, ash sweep, handles/bail and perhaps ash catcher assembly are really all that are needed.

EDIT 2:  I have a deal and a huge bloody grin on my face.  My thanks go out to those helping me.  Secret agents are at work.

However, in this case ... You did get what you wanted.

The WKC spirit is alive and well in Canada.  Nice work, fellas.  :D
