This inspires me to save up and finally do some lobsters this year. The pic of George and Jim is priceless!

Looks like a red 18 behind the lobsters in the second pic?

QuoteDoneness 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?
