Which kettles change color when cooking?

[jkolantern]

The red color shift is well known (though the first time I saw mine do it, I nearly lost it in a major grillfella geek out).

Regular


Heated up (beside the red gasser, which curiously doesn't change color



I wouldn't have believed its the same grill!

Then, in Idahawk's Yellow Kettle thread, he shows that the yellows change too, which I thought was really cool and makes me want one of those.  So what else changes color?  Pics would be great.  I can only confirm that the C&B grey does not.

I have a burgundy MT that turns an even deeper red than the red grills do.  I don't have pics, but its a deep beet red, more so than my red SS Performer gets.

So so far we know that the following colors change

red
yellow
burgundy

I think that's an excuse to fire up the MT soon and get some evidence Jeff!

Has anyone ever gotten a old baby blue hot enough to see if it changes?

You may be right!

I had a red gasser from '97 that changed colors. It was kind of an orangish red when cool and a deeper red when it got really hot. I sold it recently though so no pics 😔

I haven't fired up my Cado yet or even touched it , I wonder if its a color changer . I'm cooking tomorrow may have to find out

I like it when my Redhead gets all dusky   My Blue gets a little darker, but i need to fire it up to confirm that along with my Blue Platinum

The wife's chicken cookup was 400f ( on a regular blue ) & it seemed to darken a bit, but it was a bright day & I couldn't really tell......semi-subdued sunlight is the best time to tell, I've noticed.......

I've seen Avacados turn brown

OK, Mr. Smarty Pants..........

try leaving the pits in......even if it's chunked down to guac..... & add some lemon juice, I'm feelin' fruity  (~~> Golly)

This isn't as spectacular as the reds or yellows. As a matter of fact, my C & B Performer gets uglier when it's good and hot. The second pic is when I had my Kettle Pizza attachment on and the therm. was spiked.




And yes, it has been lovingly cleaned since then with 0000 steel wool and Dawn dish soap.

I love that C&B but that is ugly....

When my Warrior gets to about 400 or so, it gets to be a darker brown. Not as big a change as my reds but darker to the point that the two tone lid starts to blend a little.

Yikes!
