My First Vintage Kettle Find
« on: December 14, 2022, 08:27:59 AM »
Today marks the 3rd anniversary since my first vintage find - a '75 Redhead in really good shape.  This is the way it looked when I bought it and I didn't do a thing to it.  Also here's my entire collection of grills at the time which seemed a bit overkill at the time as I recall.  I've added a couple more since then.

That's a beauty! 
And you had no idea what you were getting into - you've had to expand your deck what, 2, 3 times now? LOL

Happy Anniversary!

Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill

Thanks!  That charbroil gasser left after my Genesis phase kicked in.... Still have the others that get used regularly.  I remember reading about others putting their grills in "The rotation" and I didn't exactly know what that meant until the collection grew.  I think half the fun of grilling now is choosing which one to cook on.

That 75 is a beaut.
Makes me regret having to sell my 77 even more now!
