@Craig @Troy
Have you ever seen a round ash pan for a ranch? What is that taller grill on the table? :o :o :)

Haven't seen one made specifically for the old style RKs but I love the idea. Is this his own backyard? That table with the 22 in it looks like it has Weber wheels. It and that tall 18 sitting on top look like some of his experiments/prototypes? Great photo!

That looks pretty heavy for an ash pan - perhaps a wok of some sort? I don't see the standard handles but it doesn't appear to have clips either...
Cool photo.

That almost looks like a lid from a kettle that is upside down.

Wow, that's incredible!
@harris92 where did you find that!? It's like getting a glimpse into the the legend's mind (and yard) too cool! I'm wondering, like Craig, if that wooden table is performer prototype?
But the wheels are turning, I bet I could make a table like that. How do you think the bowl sits in there?

@WNC The pic was in the Chicago Tribune. I'm trying to figure out what that tomato cage looking thing is on the table. LOL

I read on webers website that he recruited a sales guy from Sears that came by personally with a truck load of riding mowers so that George could test drive them since it was too busy when he had been in the store earlier in the day. This sales guy got to see a patio/backyard full of kettles (experimental and production). Long story short, he sold George a rider mower and got a job with working for Weber. How awesome would that be to experience? George was truly the Original Grillfella with a raging case of Weberitis and I bet he loved every minute of it.
