    A hot blast from the past.

    As I have mentioned a number, (and growing), of times, I am converting our old house to a shop. Everything that was in my Dad's shop when he died in '92 has been in an old barn on my cousin's farm since then. This includes his tools as well as mine, and some we bought together. There is also some stuff that was just stored in the shop that I had forgotten about. I am at the point where I am starting to bring some of the smaller items to my shop.

    Here are some photos of one of the items - a grill I won when I managed a Jack-in-the-Box in the late '70s. I don't remember the contest except that it was performance based, so I must have accidentally done something right.

    Once you are done with cookin, you fold it up and put it back in the bag and the coals will go out.

    It still had some charcoal in it. If anyone is interested in some antique charcoal, I might be willin' to part with it if the price is right.

    I think it's in great shape for it's age. There is a little rust on the left grate, but that's it.

    Very cool. At least we now know where MeatMonster got the inspiration for his logo. Hmmm, can anyone say trademark infringement........

        The Jack in the Box tie-in is baffling to me. Maybe it was some sort of give-away.

          At the time, I worked for Jack-In-The-Box, and I won it as a prize for a contest.
