This inspires me to save up and finally do some lobsters this year. The pic of George and Jim is priceless! [emoji106]🏻

Looks like a red 18 behind the lobsters in the second pic?

Very cool find. I love how he has it down an exact science - Turkey = 98 briquettes 8)

Doneness is checked with a meat thermometer.

Quite certain remote therms were not available back then.

George most likely didn't perform a fiddle-fest with the dampers, either.  Let the kettle work its magic. 

I like that.

Damn! That guy had 10 kids? He had a lot of mouths to feed. That's probably how he came to invent the Ranch Kettle, to feed all them kids?
