1950's Weber in action

[ramsfan]

Check this out. Here is an old promotional film extolling the virtues of a backyard bbq in the 1950's. The first grill shown is a black Weber MLH. The kettle appears to be brand new and being used for the first time. The film is only about 3 minutes long. Here it is..

How do they BBQ hamburger over charcoal and not have any smoke?  Now the steak cook looks real.  I don't think he poked the steak enough with the fork though.  Let's cut it on the grill to see how well it's cooked.  I remember my Dad and Uncle doing the same thing at family BBQ's back in the early 60's.

The second guy was cooking on the type of grill we had growing up.  Flare up were a constant problem.  He was a "Genius" to solve that problem with that load of steaks.

Thanks @ramsfan for the look back ! ! !

I love the long handle salt and pepper shakers the woman was using to season the burgers.

You can still buy that long handled salt/pepper shaker. I saw them at my local Home Depot just the other day. I think it was made by Brinkmann? One side of the shaker is salt and then you flip it over and the other side dispenses pepper. It's a two sided device.
