Not a Weber, but cool nonetheless
« on: September 07, 2016, 12:18:52 PM »
Let's see some pieces of grill/grill accessory history that weren't made by Weber.  Anything old, unique, quirky,  bizarre, innovative, etc.  Things from a time when companies took risks, instead of relying on bean counters & focus groups to develop something (early 90's & older?).

Start with the products name (as specific as possible), so when someone Googles, it'll lead to the WKC. If you've posted a write-up on something before, throw it in here & include the link if you'd like.  No cheap bottom feeders.  Nothing homemade.

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

1960s Royal Chef Chattanooga Choo Choo. Never been fired up. Can't bring myself to do it.

First try posting pics with the Tapatalk app so don't shoot if I screwed it up [emoji16]

The Strutco isn't my thing, but that H.E. Bremer is a thing of beauty.  I'd pounce on one of those if it ever came up as well.  Fantastic restore @brewtownbeatdown
