i gave away my n code OT+ redhead this weekend....and now have 2 kettles, instead of 3. but, the gent to whom i gave the redhead had zero kettles and was using a non-weber gasser....he was pretty fired up to receive the gift out of the blue.
i only used 3 kettles at once 1 time this summer, even though i did a ton of cooking. that's how i knew it was ok to make the change and drop back down to 2. i loved cooking on the redhead, especially the color change, but my other two kettles were gifts from my wife....so there was no way i was going to give one of those away.
if i decide to back to 3, it will likely be that i try to find the special edition coming out this fall.
