I guess I should use the blue for bluegrass friends or blues gatherings?

Looks pretty much like the stable mate to mine, right now, I can’t remember the date I want to say ‘97.?
When you do the repaint of the firebox there will be a date in the casting. My frame is starting to get a slight list to starboard so, Bruce gave me the number of the bolt fittings to rebuild it and I even ordered them, have not gotten around to the rebuild yet, life got in the way but, I will do that or maybe take a welding class and build a new frame in stainless. Now, only need to get the time! Oh, and material!

Heck, it would be on there a lot!Or maybe if you’re sad.
If you have any German heritage, you could use the blue one if there will be excessive drinking!

First of all, Heather, WELCOME TO TVWBB! We are glad to have you participate.
Judging by your pictures that show durawood but also the earlier style burner knobs, I would say your grill is from around 1998. Unfortunately, that era is one where we have a big gap in the catalog and brochure copies we have here on this board. By 2001 they went to the Silver/Gold design and thermoset tables.

Looks like you move out of Florida, but not anywhere near Pennsylvania! I'll send the team of mules lol.

You never know. I may have reason to go to PA! Is that hood really the almost purple shade your picture shows? I have what I would call “maroon” but it is much closer to red than what your picture shows.

This is true. This the one I had. The color is awesome.

I had a similar idea. Green for St Paddy's day, Red for Christmas, ... But I just don't have the space to store additional lids. Plus it would have been too much work to swap the handle light each time I swap a lid.

Now that you mention that, Larry, I believe you are probably right from what I can remember from seeing yours. I think the color tint on THyde's picture makes it look even more purple than it probably does in real life, but it is still very different from the maroon he also has (which is like mine). I think it is a fairly rare color. I like it!

In a few weeks slash months I'll dress up the one on the left. I never knew they were different, and looking at my own picture, I think the darker lid on the left "goes" better with the brick background. This is why I've been interested in the end cap paint treatments from a different thread. Lefty there needs some serious end cap work! It will be fun to see how great / crappy I can make that 1000, especially the end caps. Perhaps I will have a switcher after all!
Of course, I happen to be in a moment in life where this is not a priority. So what happens? A green top for free shows up on Craigslist. With the entire rest of the 1000 below it of course, but still!
Anyways, I had no idea that the "purple" lid was anything special!
