Post by: Craig on September 09, 2014, 11:16:37 AM: The 1958 brochure says that too. They MIGHT have been referring to the "Weber Fireplace" but then again, backyard BBQ was still in its infancy back in the late 1950s.. I can imagine someone lighting their grill out back in the winter then rolling it inside the screen porch or garage after a while...
