So yesterday I get a text from a WKC Brother with a link for a Red MBH on CL.
It was up for 2 hours. I emailed and explained I was in NY as the grill was in MA.
I emailed a 2nd time to leave my number. It was about 2:30. At about 6 PM I get a call from the woman with the grill. We talked for a good 20 minutes and I agreed to her asking price. Set it up for 12-1 today.
Now a few months back another WKC Brother picked up a RED E code 18.
When I drove to VT a month ago for my other Red MBH I picked him up a gasser.
I worked it out with him that I'd see him about 2:30. So I left at 10:30 this AM and was in Chicopee, MA at 12:30. I sat with her for about 30 minutes, She explained it was in the garage for over 35 years. She put it there after her husband died. She explained how he didn't use it much and never even got to use the accessories. 1977 on the accessories box. Also someone else emailed her and offered 100 but explained she already made an agreement. She was an older woman and was great company. Well back on the road at 1 and in Bedford,MA by 2:35. I unloaded the gasser and collected my 18 and got to see some grills. I was trying to beat the traffic so left at 3PM. Got home at 7:15 because of traffic. It was almost dark when I got home.
The MBH looks almost new, I will post pictures soon because light was going away.
Lid handle looks new. I don't think the ash catcher has ever seen any ashes. I drove 408 miles today in a little under 9 hours.
First 2 pictures were on CL ad. Please for give the others. Getting dark .
I'm beat. :)

Great work guys! That is one of the nicest reds I have ever seen!
I'd be surprised if that MBH ever had a fire in it. The leg sockets look immaculate.

Nice 18!! What a grate score... two readheads!
The shine on the lower vents of that 22... they look like a mirror.

Original grates are mint.
Definitely my first LOOKER, but I will cook on her.

All-time classic right there. Lid vent is a favorite of mine. Might be an indoor kettle in my world. If you get the Temptation to cook, just remember to Treat Her Like a Lady.
Don't be afraid, don't turn and walk away
I wanna get to know ya, well
Don't be ashamed, don't say that love's to blame
Just come and look me over
And if you cook for your Brothers and Sister Rose, remember this:
Oh, you got to love her, tease her
But most of all you got to please her
You got to hold her and want her
And make her feel you'll always need her
Don't be afraid, don't turn and walk away
I wanna get to know ya, well
Don't be ashamed, don't say that love's to blame
Just come and look me over
And if you cook for your Brothers and Sister Rose, remember this:
Oh, you got to love her, tease her
