Economy redhead...?

[Bob BQ]

Spotted this in the wild today. Appears to be an economy redhead. No markings on the vents, and it has the ridge in the bowl. I just assumed all of the Sears, Kmart, etc economy models that Weber made were...  blaik.

That's neat! I've never heard of a redhead cheapo weber. Any plans to bring it home?

The ridge in the bowl is very interesting ? Can't say I've seen that before

Definitely an econo - I had a black one with the ridge like that early last year. First Red one I've seen though!

I never paid attention I guess , does that ridge hold the charcoal grate ?

That's right- very similar to the old JJ.

So no welded straps inside ? Or just for the top grate ?

I didn't know the economy kettles came with one touch either. I thought they were all 3 wheelers.

It's a smart idea for the grate and less weld points inside the bowl is always a plus but it just doesn't look right with the ridge. The whole balance of the kettles shape is thrown off

That's a cool find! Are you going to pursue it?

We'll see. It was sitting on the side of a business... they're closed on the weekends, and their weekday hours are when I'm at work. Looks like it hasn't been used in years, though.  Hmmm.... possible switch for a better conditioned one?

Never hurts to ask whether they want to switch or sell or on just outright give it away.

@Bob BQ - Being retired If you give me the address of the business, I can get there when they are open and try to get that redhead.  That way it will stay in the WKC
