What year is a double mbh red bbq kettle...
Patent 3538906. And is this a run of the mill mbh...?
Just patent # and no date stamp?? Prob a 78'... Are the lower bowl tabs wide?
Sounds like a great find!
@SixZeroFour Ill have to check...the handle..is a double rivet.
I really have to learn to upload pics here
Okay..sobthis is a 1970-1978..
The daisy wheel vent tabs are very very small...
Even better!... And there is no such thing as a "run of the mill" red MBH btw! ;) ;) let me know if you want some help posting some pics 8)

Those rubber treads on the wheels may put this red in the 1972 range. I didn't catch that detail earlier.
@Craig....
So this may be the first year model that has patent number stamped on the lid damper?
