Weber "Redhead" Appreciation Thread...

Yard sale find about 15 yrs ago, rusting/rotting. A 1980 "B".

Cooked on it a few times before the leg support rotted. Used it as a fire pit for a while, then in the garage for years...

I actually left this out on the curb last year...for 10 mins...but came to my senses.

Then I found youtube and this place and now its my LP-fired pizza oven.

Haven't made an edible pie yet. Need a cheap stone, but no luck finding one at HD, etc.

Here is mine. just found out about dates codes recently. Mine is a J which I think means made in 1987.

Here she is, with a couple of birds I did this afternoon. Brined for 13 hours, coated in garlic butter, seasoned, and on Old Red (indirect with a couple of applewood sticks) for about 2 hours. Perfection!

nice! ask brother Moose what he uses in his gas fired pizza kettle, I'm sure he can give you a couple of ideas and he's always willing to help! :thumb:
 
I just found this beauty last night about 60 miles away from me on CL.

I just bought a 2004 performer and cannot rescue this one unfortunately. I confirmed it is still available. Anyone in Denver area to pick this up?

CL scored the OTG on the right, date code EZ from 1998 today. $40 :grin:
The battle-scarred 18.5 OTS with mismatched ashpan is code H from 1986.
Redheads really do cook better, as the legend goes.

Didn't know about the mastertouch difference, but really appreciate the side rack for the lid and the thermometer.
 
Here is mine. "Red Hot" is a '73 Statesman. She sat in storage for approx 35 years. You wont find one in better condition...I guarantee.....

The grill was on Craigslist but pics never made it. All of the pics were exchanged off line. The deal was done in less than a couple hours of posting.
