Yellow Ranger

Hi, I'm Linda D from Chicagoland. Last week I was given an unusual grill. I have owned Weber charcoal grills for 50 years, but had never seen a wheelbarrow configuration! I obtained the grill to give to my son who lives in a medium size courtyard apartment building where there is a little concrete area to grill, but the fenced (not secured) area is the entrance from the parking area. I have a feeling it would be stolen, so instead of giving it to my son, I'd rather sell it and buy a less conspicuous grill. I'm writing this at night, so I'll have to post pictures later. I investigated the unusual grill and found it is called a ranger - it was produced in the 1970s. It's in pretty good condition.

I would rather trade it for something less conspicuous or sell it outright, then buy a suitable Weber for my son. I've seen a range of prices and don't want to gouge anyone, but also not give it away.
 
That is a very fair request for a trade. I just wouldn't be able to get over from Iowa to trade you in a timely manner. Too much going on in life right now.
 
The Ranger is a version of the Ranch grill. The Ranch is still available. Your's was version of the Ranch that made it easy to move around. They have a really nice, large diameter. About 36" Try to preserve that "mobile" version of the Ranch. The fact that it is yellow makes it an even better find IMHO

Sorry, I disagree, the Ranger is based on the 22” kettle.

Linda, good for you to keep that, it’s a really cool piece that is becoming more rare with the passage of time! Hold onto that until you can find it a good home…like with me in Kalamazoo!😉
I’ve wanted a yellow kettle for years!

I'm sorry, my son does not want me to get rid of the grill at this time. I'm not sure what he wants to do, but at this timewe're going to hold on to it.

Linda, I fully understand. Keep it and enjoy it, but if you decide down the road to let it go I'm still up to trade or buy. Like Timothy, I've wanted a vintage yellow kettle for a long time and this one is a unique one. Thanks!
