A few months ago, I was interviewed by a reporter for our local town newspaper. It's more of a pamphlet than a newspaper that is published quarterly. He had heard about my Weber collection and himself being a picker, was quite interested. The article was recently published.

That is the background story. Here's the main reason for this post. This week, I received a letter from the same reporter containing this Weber sales brochure. He doesn't know where he got it but has had this old Weber brochure for many, many years. He said I would probably get much more enjoyment out of it than him holding on to it. The back is printed Wood Dale Ill. Not as old as the Weber Brothers Metal Works brochure I've seen posted here on the Forum so it must be a second printing after Weber moved from Chicago to Wood Dale.

Guess this was before the threat of Carbon Monoxide asphyxiation was understood and civil litigation attorneys weren't prevalent. Quote from the page below - "Treat yourself to the advantages of charcoal cooking year round. Cook indoors during bad weather, too, by following these simple directions for smokeless cooking".

Cool piece of Weber history. It will be partnered and displayed with my Weber Custom. Don't think I'll be trying that cooking indoors part though...............
Wow that's Awesome!

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I wonder how many used their grills indoors.
I wonder if anyone died using them indoor!
Post the rest of the article about you!

The cover was the whole enchilada Randy. The rest of the magazine is advertisements.

Really cool. Thank you for sharing!

Sent me to Google this morning. He used 2 grills though, so maybe 1 weber would be ok
Now Jim. If it says it's ok indoors, it must be... Just like it must be true if we read it in the internet.

They used to DEMO them INSIDE sometimes, even on the fifth floor at a department store. I posted a pic of an article it in this thread http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/1955-weber-kettle-wstacker-used-in-weber-demo-at-boston-store-in-milwaukee/msg348500/#msg348500, but the mods have since deleted the article (I'm guessing to save space). I've noticed they have been deleting a number of older pics.
I know Weber has all of their test kitchen equipment indoors albeit with appropriate ventilation and fire protection.

I don't know Jim, for the sake of the club, I think you should try the indoor cooking.
And I'm in your Will for the grills, right?
I thought about getting a large hood fan and replacing my oven with a 26'r but the wife wouldn't go for it.

Ohhhh sure, "you go first". In regards to my Will, only the green ones, right?
Yup
And don't forget, blue and yellow make green
And yellow on the custom is a shade of green
