non weber but a classic

[harlanr3]

did anyone grow up with one of these in the back yard

[Craig]

No, but I grew up with that same poster in my bedroom!  I wish I still had it. 

That's a nice cooker!!

Lets not go so far as calling it classic..........

Anyway, it is my folks 50th wedding anniversary this year.  (Yay folks!)  I was looking through some old photos my dad pulled out and it looks like we had a Structo like this, pre me maybe.

Me neither......that had to be prone to a lot of flare ups.

Oh, yes, my dad had one of those things growing up, or something that looked the same.  He overcooked many a chicken with that thing, but we ate it all while my mother complained that he overcooked it.

We had one of those when I was a kid. I don't recall getting a lot of use out of it.

so this got me to thinking about childhood BBQ's and the one that sticks out in my mind was this god offal thing that used newspaper for fuel. nasty

[Harbormaster]

Pretty sure my dad had one. If I recall it was light blue.

Don't remember if it had the rotisserie though.

ours was green

The BBQ I had growing up was a Weber Genesis. I missed this one by a few decades. Hope I didn't miss much.

We had one. Complete with the (never used) rotisserie. This was useful for burgers, hot dogs, and an occasional T-Bone. That was about it!
We rarely used charcoal, lived on an old farm with acres of citrus and pecan trees, plenty of free firewood!:)

We had one of those in a bluish-green when I was a kid.  Yours is definitely a classic imo, as that is a great example of what was in many backyards!  Not everyone could afford a Weber...

[colin.p]

Yup, we had one of those (orange I believe), the one we had didn't have any cover or rotisserie. Between that and the Hibachi's we had, I don't know which was worse.

My grandpa had one those.  It did not have the rotisserie.  I only remember roasting marshmallows over it as a kid.  That is probably all it was good for.   I am sure my grandpa burned quite a bit of food on that grill.

I remember one of them, but it had an adjustable cooking grate. You cranked the handle and the grate would lift or lower.
