I'm not looking to make money. Kinda think it would be nice to clean it up and make it shine as a cool little project. But don't have room to keep it so I'd put it in someone's hands after.

The guy sent me these 3 pics back and said: "Just a couple small chips in paint with very little survace rust in those spots"

value is up to the person. Here's the basics...It's a Weber, discontinued RED color in decent shape at a price that can be played with. also check the one touch cleaning system when your there. They're easy to replace but better if they're in working order. GL....go now. LOL

It's not just a grill, it's a WEBER

Looks like it's a little more beat up than what he originally indicated perhaps.

I remember getting my first red 22. I drove 50min to get it. Its a "F" code OTK One week later I drove 70 min to pick up a barn find red 22 OTP. After that I was diagnosed with full blown weberits. [emoji1]

You will never regret buying this grill, even at $50!

Like's been said before, "it's a rock in' K redhead"
The K stamp on the lid vent is the date code, each letter corresponds to a certain year (it gets more complicated on super old and really new kettles), but generally the letters are stamped oriented in line with the big "Weber". For some reasons these "K"s  are crooked, so it makes em kinda...I don't know, more special
You'll also hear this model kettle referred to as the OTS, or One Touch Silver. That refers to the three blade cleaning system. They can be replaced if it's reached out, costs about $15. Super easy to do, but it could be a bargaining chip.
Most importantly, it's a REDHEAD! They change color when they get hot, and it's awesome.
So go get this one, make room by getting rid of whatever grill you already got, fall in love while making delicious food simply, the covered way. Impress your friends and family, and then make more room as the Weberitus will have already set in.

If you have no interest in keeping this grill send me a PM. Go get it and I'll take it off your hands. I have a thing for these kettles called redheads and this ones no exception.

Were all the staff on the production line at Weber in the late 80's drunk or something?

It changes color when its hot?? Cool! I picked up my first redhead recently and haven't cleaned it up yet. I'll be sure to take pictures before/after clean up and when it's hot!
Together we'll fight the long defeat.

Lets just say I have acquired a few Kettles.  Big and small.   Vintage and New...  Some say I have a problem.  I find the Kettle, buy the Kettle, USE the Kettle...No problem...
