Title: Red Vs. Blue
Post by: 1911Ron on May 26, 2013, 06:56:19 PM
Earlier there was a thread on which kettles change colors when hot, so i did a side by side experiment, i know my Redhead changes but wasn't sure about my Blue kettle.  I also wanted to see if my Red cooked better than my Blue (note there is no science involved nor implied ;D)

The set up was the same, i used the snake method with the same amount of wood chunks in each kettle.
So here are a few pictures,can anyone tell if the Blue gets darker when hot?

Oh the Redhead cooked the chicken faster than the Blue ;D

Hard to say with shadows, but man, I'd love to try that experiment!  Just need to get a blue...  although, everyone knows that redheads DO cook better  :D

Ron, I'm not sure they'd get hot enough with the snake method to give you a good color change anyway. Maybe someone else might not that for sure.

Not sure... send your blue to me and I'll study it for a few years to see if it changes colors when hot.  ;D
