Just picked this up from Chicago Craigslist. It needs some TLC and a Good cleaning but should shine up like a "Red Delicious" apple when done. Got the grill, Tool holder, Table, Chimney, 22.5 Grill Grate, 1/2 Bag of Kingsford Charcoal, and Lighter Cubes that I'll never use. $50.00! Only thing missing is the thermometer about a $10.00 part. No deal breaker for me.
From what I can find I believe this is from 1984-1995 From the Lid PALATINE, ILL
I don't know if any of you contacted the lady but she said she had over 20 calls about this after I said I'll take it.
Conversation
Lady: Why do people want this old grill?
Me: They are great grills!
Lady: But its old!
Me: But its RED!
Lady: (Just looked at me as if I had 3 arms :o) oh well I hope you enjoy it
Me: I WILL and Thanks again!
So just wanted to let you at WKC know it went to a good home...Mine ;D

That's a really nice one. Congrats!
That's a 93' and one heck of a deal. Most folks would have paid the asking price just for the Kettle....I would.
btw, those lighter cubes work really well.

Indeed it is! I still stare at my first redhead rescue.
Congratulations!
Great find, even without the accessories. I love my red heads, wait til you see it change colors!
Very very nice...esp with all accessories
Congrats on the score! That's a pretty red!
Your first Redhead huh? It wont be your lasttttt! Lol Congrats on a great looking kettle!
Just cleaned the Redhead! Took my time and cleaned most by hand and some sandblasting...but WOW! can't believe looks new, but with character. ;D
The Color Change is Very Cool!! My neighbor thought I painted her. ;D

What did you do for the vent
@Shoestringshop ? I'm working on a two tone that after a significant amount of elbow grease looks a lot more like the before pic.
