Title: At last!
Post by: Eastex on February 20, 2013, 08:37:35 AM
Happy, happy, happy my red head has come in! The neighbors wouldnt know what to think if we had any, you just dont see grills this color around here, I've looked.  Thanks Marty G, it was a pleasure and everything showed up in fine condition. I'm thinking of a few upgrades already, maybe a Gold ash catcher, a cast iron grate, and maybe get a "handle" on some more decorative items.

Ok...whats the story behind this grill?  I'd say it looks like a new grill except for the triangle on the bottom. 
Very nice.

Oh crap - did I send you the good one?  :o  Glad to see it arrived in good shape - I was worried. And that triangle might shine up even better with a little more work. You need wood handles on it though...right Brian? And I'm down to four reds now, I better start looking again.

I worked a swap with MartyG and I'm really glad I sent him a NOS grill because I don't think I could clean a used one up as well as he did. I can't wait to cook on it, of course our girls basketball team is headed to the last tournament before the state finals this weekend so its gonna be longer than I hoped. It's going to be really nice to have a 22 around the place again, I left my Performer at work and I have missed the one big grill cook as opposed to the multiple small grill cooks.

Yeah, I wanted an older SJP because I'm not thrilled with the new ones, and he found a stash at a local Ace (I recall) and offered to do the leg work. I was happy to make the swap. It's the WKC spirit you know: makin' each other happy. What goes around comes around.

Yeah, the way these redheads have been making their way around lately, I'm starting to think they are the sluts of the kettle world. :o

Fantastic score! What year is it? Looks exactly like a brand new version of my '95. Two Tone lid and all!
