Judging by the shape of the coal, it does resemble Royal Oak. Still a mystery but, I would not be surprised if it was made by Royal Oak. Saw these on another kettle fan site, only to find out they're

available in Canada.  I keep checking the Weber U.S. site to see if it will make its way here.

I picked up a bag of the new Weber charcoal a couple of days ago.  It does look like a Royal Oak briquette except larger.  I took a couple of pictures while I was setting up to rotisserie a duck on Friday - the new Weber briquette is in the middle with an original one on the left and a Royal Oak ridge briquette on the right.

The new Weber briquettes worked fine for cooking the duck but the real litmus test is going to be seeing how well they hold up for the long running time needed to slow roast a boneless pork shoulder on the rotisserie.  I’m planning to cook one in the next week or so, so we’ll find out soon.

Greg, I wonder the same!   My favorite kettles are the ones I was able to get the back story on. 

My first “vintage” kettle after I discovered the WKC in 2017 was an A code weathered warrior.   I bought it from the grandson of the original owner. 

My 1962 Wood Dale Texan was used as a garden planter in Minnesota for over 20 years.   Kennedy was President when it was pressed and enameled!

I bought a Statesman while on vacation in Minnesota two years ago.  The daughter of the original owner had it at their parent’s lake house since 1975 and that’s where it stayed till I bought it. 

My patent pending Caribbean and Warrior were both estate sale finds and original owners. 

My 2000 18 purple one touch was new in the box.   The owners told me they bought it at Lowe’s in 2000 and never assembled it.  They “discovered” it in 2021 when they were cleaning up the garage!   lol.

Sitting here tonight on the deck with my Mrs…. 75 Gourmet, 77 Yachtsman, 98 Genesis and gen 1 Summit in view.  Cannot believe that these yellow grills were cooking food for some families when I was a child in 2nd or third grade.  I was learning multiplication tables, nouns and verbs and didn’t even realize much past my bicycle ride to and from school and making sure my lunch money stayed in my pocket.  That 55 cents meant a lot each day and my mom made sure I had it each day.  Anyway, it’s a bit surreal to think about and wonder where these kettles were then…and somehow I look over at Beaux and he seems to understand my wonder.
