1973 PK - Still Cooking

December 15, 2019, 06:45 PM

Thought I’d share this with the PK crowd... this is the exact cooker I grew up with, the thing on which we burned dogs & burgers and overcooked steaks and chicken. My sister has it now, my bro-in-law just sent me this pic.

When I was at my parents house for Thanksgiving, mom pulled these out...

Original manual:

Receipt - my mom’s dad purchased it for them:

I told them to NEVER sell it!

Love it. I picked up an old PK last year and it looks very similar to that one. Looking forward to passing it on to my kids.

It would be really cool to have that manual scanned and posted - if that wouldn't infringe on copyrights.

You know I just bought a house in Gasburg on lake Gaston. Just inches from NC.
We may just have to do a Va / NC meatup!

Jealous! In the back of my mind I’ve wondered for a decade about retiring on one of the lakes up there. Make sure you get over to Weldon in the spring for some crazy striper fishing!
