My newly rebuilt 20 year old MasterTouch, this grill has moved with me coast to coast 4 times and grilled in 10 states. You wouldn't know it to look at it, but there has probably been literally a ton of meat cooked in that kettle. Still waiting on a few parts, like the rollers for the lid and wire Performer charcoal baskets. I'm also going to be mounting 2 side kick board on either side. All fasteners are stainless this time around. I figure now it's good for another 20 years.

So... could I have bought a new one touch gold for what I put in this? well yea, but it wouldn't be red and it wouldn't have had history... my history, so there you go. This grill has been my only means of cooking through the aftermath of 3 hurricanes, an earthquake and a windstorm. It's been grilled on in Chicago, Huntsville AL, Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Charleston SC, Los Angeles, Tampa, and Naples FL. It's survived a dozen girlfriends, 2 German Sheperds (going on 3), a half a dozen cars, and several jobs. When I bought this grill web browsers weren't even a university research project yet and digital cell phones were still years away. |

My first Weber was a hand me down that was pre one touch and quite old when I got it. I picked that grill up and one of the rusted handles broke off and when it fell the legs went up through the bottom of the kettle. So this grill was really *my* first and only Weber that I bought. The apartment complex I live in put in gas community grills and told everyone to get rid of their personal grills, I put up a stink and have an exception in my lease for that grill, and it could be interpreted as that specific grill, which is another reason for the full out restore.

Here is my grandfathers Weber BAR B QUE Kettle that was handed down to my Uncle and then to me. When he walked me out to his old dirty shed way back in the corner was one of my now prized possessions with rotted out non rolling wheels on it. Needless to say it went to my shed for a few years until I decided to spend under $5.00 on a new set of wheels on it and start using it. I used this grill along with my weber genesis silver c for several years until I decided to get my performer which somewhat put the oldie into semi retirement. She is 41 years old according to the United States patent website.
Here is a picture of my workforce 2005 Weber performer

[QUOTE=NeoTrout;1933126]The old Weber catalog I have calls that color "copper mist". That's good to know, I never knew what the color was called. Thank you

Yea, I suppose "Copper Mist" will insight one to buy more than what the color is really closer to, like "Old Penny" if we insist on naming it after something copper. But then again, if I had a 40 year old Weber, I'd want it to be a color like "Copper Mist", "Avocado", "Harvest Gold", or "Poppy Red".
