Here's one. I think this is BBQ Boys. You can actually see the orange tinge if you look closely.

Now, it seems weber still made these in regular red at that time because we have seen so many others that don't have any hint of orange in them.

Burnt Orange would have been a sweet main kettle color! Is it my eyes or is this Ranger two-toned? The shade looks like it is in the same spot you see on the avocado kettles of the same era? $:-\$ Duke, this burnt orange color could corroborate your theory of the "orange 22" kettle in the waterfall pic of the 1972 version of Barbecuing The Weber Covered Way cookbook.

Yep, you remembered that! Very Cool Duke trivia! I can't wait to see a closeup of Jeffs in the right light. His is def a two toned B.O. I'm so glad we have two members that have them. The WKC is King of the Weber forums! Hey, that would make a great tag!

Stig, BBQ Boy from Denmark has the other. His is the myuseum shot above. Oh, and maybe a better name for the Ranger would be Rager.

You know, I had thoughts of letting my red (BO) Ranger go, but this thread has renewed my interest in tackling the project of rehabbing it best I can. I does need some serious work on the mounting points from the frame to the bowl. Its a poor design. And yes....Brian, one of your handles will be part of the rehab!
