Title: PSA: George Stephen’s birthday, Feb. 26th, 2021
Post by: Mr.CPHo on February 23, 2021, 04:10:53 PM
I looked at the WKC calendar this morning and was reminded of Mr. George Stephen's birthday this Friday, February 26th. 

To celebrate, I plan on playing with some of my Weber toys and cooking out on a vintage kettle this Friday.  I hope you'll join me this Friday and throughout the weekend with your own Weber-related pics.  No rules, no requirements, just an opportunity to share appreciation of George in your own way!

That's a great idea.

I don't have any vintage kettles or cool toys, but I'll join in on George's birthday celebration this weekend with my Weber kettles.

Cheers

Sounds like an excellent way to start the weekend Charlie. I'll be firing one up in Georges' honor as well.

How old to be considered vintage? My oldest kettle is from 1999. I'll fire that one up in his honor.

Doesn't matter if it's considered vintage or not, as long as you love it!

I'm kinda surprised Weber isn't mentioning this in social media.

I think that's a nice idea.
I did a entrecôte steak on an EE code read head.
It's not that vintage but I just wanted to use it.

I cleaned the kettle this afternoon and called my butcher that I need asap a good steak!

Here we go:

I have seen 2 or 3 counties post it on Instagram from the country's dealers.

Grilled chicken thighs marinated in Italian dressing and various seasonings and glazed with bbq sauce mixed with pickled jalapeño juice and tobasco sauce. Also seasoned with Jack Daniels number 7 before grilling. Very good. No grill pictures but a friend brought over a crave case

A White Castle with grilled chicken thighs inserted is insane.

I used the 26" for the thighs.
