MORE BBQ GRILL PIX

July 2, 1996. Indianapolis Star showed up for a photo shoot which ran on their July 4 issue. These pictures here were taken by "by standers" and not the Indianapolis Star. Yes, those are really "propane" tanks in the background, however, they are new and have never been filled with propane. They contain nonflammable "dry nitrogen".

the grill.
Roll'em. GHG
struggles with the
heavy bucket on
the long board.
GHG pours in
the LOX, the lit
cigarette roars
to life.

 

PHOOOOSH!!
Starting to roar,
bottom starts to
burn through.
Bottom gone,
roaring charcoal
fire on ground.
Dumped on more
LOX
Grill is still standing, minus
the bottom.

 

Cleaning up the Mess
Since the grill remained standing, it stayed out of the fire
and did non burn too well, It took 3 more buckes of LOX
to "clean up the mess"
Finally, not too much left,
but the charcoal and a few
shards of hot metal.

 

 

The almost "Indestructable" WEBER style grill
Three, two, one, barbeque.. "Gentle" grill lighting (3 seconds) as
to not "destroy" the grill.
Grill ready to cook after
3 seconds, and clean.
Dave Coats, and Jon Mac-
Intire, right, Peoples, cook
the LOX burgers.

 

 

CHOW DOWN!
The group chows down. Will Higgins enjoys his
"LOX burger"

 

Chow done, now grill the grill.
That Weber type grill was built like a tank, it took 3 full buckets of LOX to burn it through.
