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?

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?

This is the original Weber kettle. The most powerful bbq grill in the world and can blow your taste-buds clean off! So, you have to ask yourself one question: "Do you feel hungry? Well, do you punk?"
