Finally a member of the Redhead club.

I can understand the appeal. 1995 EO code with a fade.

That's nice!  Noob question though,  the fade happens over time or did they come that way?
Too many grills and too little time! Looking for a  BLUE GENESIS GASSER! Will pay a bounty!

They come that way. And every one is unique from what I've seen, and..not all Redheads have a fade.

Congrats, @Darko !  My very first Weber kettle rescue was a redhead … EO One-Touch.

I almost freaked-out the first time I saw the colour-change happen … Thought something was wrong.

I still love staring at that redhead.  8) :D

@MacEggs   Thanks to you. You let a fellow member know about me. So now he has a Simpsons Smokey & I have this Redhead. I met @Lerxst  today to make the swap. Happy people all around.

It's also got that charcoal grate with the indent's for fire starters, and a hinged cooking grate, both that are in excellent condition, plus it's a three wheeler!!!!

Touch? Mine's a 3 wheeler? It's a silver so is that different?

Congratulations on the trade @Darko. You will find when you get a redhead hot they turn a deep, angry red color.  I have one the same two tone red color I bought new in 1999 (EE M/T).

Yeah, I've actually got a redhead hot and angry. 31 years later... Oh we're talking about kettles.  Sorry, got distracted for a moment.

Not sure for all Redheads, but for Redhead MT's ( from my research ), 91 to 93 and up to 94 did not have fade ring and later years came with fade. So, I think all mid to later 90's Red came with fade ring and prior year models did not.  Still not sure for any given year if both fade and non-fade were offered at same time or not. 

I am sure some expert will chime in and either correct me or add more concrete info.on exact years for fade and non-fade Reds.
