Title: first real redhead and I love her
Post by: LiquidOcelot on May 28, 2017, 06:51:58 PM
so a blurry picture of a red master touch was on CL for a good price, texted the person about it. she still had it. it was her parents. so she gave me her parents number and said she would let them know I'm gonna call. call them and set up a pick up. when I get there I'm greeted by a super sweet and kind old lady. have had the grill since they got it in the 80s.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170529/7720160359189330870fd00fdc9758e8.jpg)this is the picture from the post. horrible but price was good enough to not care and it was in town

here she is

Nice score but I think that kettle is called a One Touch Plus. The MT didn't come till 1992.

Wait till you get it real hot and see the color change. I'm betting you'll keep it.

Same here. Me & my "man's brain" had high hopes, but were let down. It took a Weber to get me back into redheads again.

All I want to know is how much corn can one man eat at one time?
