Grills

Uncle Al

@unclejj @harris92 @reillyranch  First off – thanks for all of the hospitality you showed to this new guy!  You guys have a really amazing display.  This was my first in person look at some real vintage kettles.  I'm just blown away at how great that they hold up over time.  Some of the kettles you have are nearing 70 years old but could pass for just a being a few years old.  Weber really nailed it with the kettle design and materials way back.  I certainly have an even greater appreciation now for the vintage kettles and everyone the restores, collects and preserves them. 

For anyone going out Saturday it is well worth the trip.  The guys are setup way in the back of the venue.  It is not so intuitive how to get to the booth but just do what I did and keep walking around all of the canopies in the back until you find them.

UncleJJ I hope you will share your desert recipe – it was awesome.  Who knew you could use a grill to turn a donut into something even more magical.

Congrats here !!!




......and, one all-important question: what cookers did the prize winners get cooked on?
"If you want it fancy there is BBQ spray paint at home depot for that. "
    Covered, damper-controlled cooking.....IF YOU PLEASE !!!
           "But the ever versatile kettle reigned supreme"

The guys did a great job.  If I remember correctly UncleJJ cooked his prize winning chicken thighs on a current model Weber 26".   And I might add this was UncleJJ very first bbq contest.  Way to hit it out of the park!  The ribs were done on a 22" WSM by Craven Q - a good friend of mine.  The entries done on the vintage Weber's didn't place.  Weber's win the day!
