There is a new online auction house in the area. I swung in there back in June and while I was looking through the stuff coming up in the next auction, I spotted a box for Weber OT. Upon closer inspection, I found that it was an OTG, instantly I got excited. When I read that it was Brick Red! I knew that I had to put it on my list to bid on! I've always wanted a redhead OTG. :hail:
So, fast forward almost 4 weeks later, auction ends and BOOM! I am the new owner of a Redhead OTG. I ended up paying about $70.00 for it, which was really more than I wanted to but, due to the way it was listed in the auction, I am inclined to believe that everyone else bidding on it thought it was just a regular black OTS.
I picked it up today. My daughter kept it safe in the sauce factory until we could get it home.

When I got it home I started to take a closer look at the box.

Then I saw this...

Curious...
Now, I'm not sure how some of you would react to what I found next but, for me, it was totally awesome! Not only is it a Redhead OTG it's one made for Kraft Cheese! I'm assuming this was for promotion or display purposes, either way, I think it's pretty farkin awesome! Not to mention, I love the color!

It will be right at home with it's other ugly sibling.

I probably needed another OTG like I need another hole in the head. And, at first my wife wasn't the most happy with me but, after she saw it put together, she had to admit it sure is pretty. :thumb:

Thanks for looking. :mrgreen:

Seventy bucks for a new-in-the-box OTG? And in a special color?

Where can I sign up for that?

Nice score.

Congrats! A redhead is going to be my next purchase as soon as the new Ace Hardware opens up in town in the next month or so.

Good luck! When I bought my other OTG a few years back, I called around to 10 different stores for a redhead, and there weren't any at that time. I could have special ordered one but, that would have taken to long for my impulsive urges to be satisfied at the time.

I got the exact same Kraft model OTG last year off craigslist NIB for $50. Did some ribs on it Monday night. :grin:

I was very concerned when I saw the title and the first picture was of a person :-D

Nice score! I think $70 is a great price for a brand new OTG of any color!

Sounds like a great deal to me and she is real pretty too. I think I paid $70 for my green one but that's just an OTS.
