Kim and I were taking the dogs down by the river for a walk when Kim saw this grill at a garage sale. We stopped and for $10.00 is was ours. I have been looking for different grills at garage sales and craigslist forever and finally found one. Its got some definite rusts spots and I don't know if I can do anything about that. Its pretty cool to me though.

This is an underneath shot. My wonderful photobucket would not rotate the pic.

Serveral rusty spots like this,

I tried to find the post that you can tell what year the grill was manufactured but after a search I was unable to find it.

It doesn's seem all that old, but then again I'm not sure. I need to get an ash catcher but I like it!

Thanks for looking!
 
Nice !
That's a "MBH Redhead" (metal bowl handle)
It's pre-date code (pre-1979) so that post would not help you.
I would say that this grill's birth date is about 1975.
 
Great job you guys you saved another Weber. Sure it's got a few warts and wrinkles but that just gives it character. It's still a great cooker and it's red.
 
The etched flat lettering of "Weber" puts it at 1976-77. Nice find. I'd oil the spots periodically.
 
you're gonna LOVE that grill!
It's the ONLY grill i now own that I'll NEVER sell or trade. It's with me for life!

Click to expand...

Jim the wheels are plastic. This is what caused me to be confused as to its age. But thanks, I do think it's really cool. Can't wait to put it in the lineup for a start!
 
Geez, Barb is going to kill me. I had a daisy wheel as my first kettle ions ago and what Chuck said is right on, a rib cooking machine. Also after seeing yours and Jims I want one. I also don't have any redheads got to fix that.
 
How many days has it been.....And still no cook......Hmmmmmmmmm What kind of vintage Weber BBQ owner are you? :)
 
Cool, I love the old redheads from then!
Re orient the wheels properly, a little windex and you have a great grill for years to come. I would love to find a couple of old 22's and build a double barreled performer to go with my 22/18, then I would be in pretty good shape for any big parties I might ever have! Imagine.....turkeys, roasts of beef, ribs, wings, burgers, chicken, the mind boggles!
