Ever seen one of these?

My brother bought a house from the 60's in CA.  It has a grill in the living room.  This photo is not of his, but it is just like it; except... my brother chose to REMOVE the grill from his house! 

Who does this? Who removes a perfectly good grill from his living room?

Anyway, funny, have you guys ever seen such a thing?  And did you know there is a house in Palm Springs that has a Weber kettle in the kitchen (Elvis cooked on it)?!  Now I want a freakin' grill in my living room.

A friend of mine has that same setup in his kitchen. He too refuses to use it. For shame for shame.

If I had one of those in the kitchen it would need a cleaning.

The house next to mine has one, they don't use it.    Milwaukee, WI

In the living room would be a little weird but in the kitchen would be cool. I prefer to grill with charcoal outside.

What's that you say? Living room grill? http://weberkettleclub.com/blog/2014/01/15/1964-weber-fireplace-covered-barbecue-kettle/

A problem that people often had is that the hood/vent couldn't really draw all the smoke out so you ended up with soot and whatnot inside the house.
