Went to pick up a 22.5" E code redhead.......

[OoPEZoO]

And came home with this 
SCORE!!!!!


The guy had a E code 22.5" redhead in the pics and the listing was for a "large Weber charcoal grill". It was literally less than a mile off my normal back road route home from work so I made arrangements to buy it. When I showed up, the nice gentleman pulled out the red 26er.  I about pooed  . I told him I collect/restore old colored Webers and he asked if I wanted a 2nd one. Then he pulled out the red E code I was expecting to pick up. We agreed on a price for both, but I only brought enough cash for one. I paid him what I had, tossed the 26er in the trusty Corolla, and told him I'd be back tomorrow for the E code 22.5".

Had a crappy day at work, came home to a malfunctioning fridge/freezer, but I picked up a grail.......some days are better than others 
I have a fritzy fridge to deal with, so no other pics till at least tomorrow.

WOWWW
Welcome to the Red 26 club!
That one looks to be in REALLY good shape too!!

[OoPEZoO]

They are plastic wheels.  Pat# on the lid vent. Small tabs all around. Two rivet handle.

It's in good shape overall, but has some battle scars. It's a little out of round (haven't checked lid or bowl). One lower vent was seized and broke off as soon as I touched it. It also has a lemon sized chip in the porcelain on the underside. I'm still tickled pink.....er red. It should polish up really nice

It also has what appears to be a black painted triangle. I had assumed they were all polished except for the newer kettles

I have a line on a 2nd red 26er as well. I've known about it for about a year. All I have to do to acquire it is to find a newer style 26er to trade for it. Then I'll have a pair of large tomatoes
