Got first Red kettle...
« on: January 09, 2017, 01:37:09 PM »
After reading so much and seeing the obsession of all I finally decided to jump on Red kettle.

I already have copper (2016) 22.5 kettle, 26" inch kettle and one unused 2014 black performer , 14.5 inch unopened WSM (Wallmart 25 bucks) , as well a ranch kettle

But you all fine folks pushed me on red side [emoji4] , Paid 60 Bucks for kettle , spent additional 15 bucks for one touch cleaning , 6 bucks for hose clamp. Here it is
Cleaned up with Razor blade , Soap and Steel wool.

Great clean up job.  This thread should be in "Weber Grill Forum: Charcoal & Accessories" section.  I just picked up Red SSP today too.

Did the cooking grate clean up ok or did you replace that too. Looks great!

Good selection of kettles you have. Nice!

Thank you everyone for comments.

@greenweb - Haven't cleaned the Grate but they still have some good life left. I would like to have RED SSP :) though.
@Filibuster - Thanks , I flipped and fixed the triangle :).

@Darko and everyone- Redheads definetly look different than any other color.  I have to fire it up to see if it changes the color. Agree with you @MikeRocksTheRed

@Mr.CPHo - I should have requested you to agent me one red SSP in JAX- when it was on CL couple of days back.  Soon I will post the family pic of all the kettle :).

Red fades don't change, but the bail and bucket is worth the trade.
Still need a 22” yellow
