Is this what you call cooking with beer?

Bob,

Yes my grandmother lived in Seattle. Grandma swept ash from Mt. St. Helens off her porch and sent to us kids in peanut butter jars. Still have it. I remember using some of it in an elementary school presentation I did on the state. Aunt/Uncle/Cousins are from Renton I believe. I would have to ask if I have any other family members that live or lived in WA. My dad was an engineer (before retirement). He had a chance to work on the Space Needle (not sure in what capacity). He declined because once it was built, he would have been out of a job.

 

Victor,

I will take that as a compliment. :-)

I bet a collector in this part of the country would pay big bucks for that grill!

Zak. The instruction sheet that is shown on the Coors grill is the same as mine. Hmmmm. Maybe I need to start a beer bbq grill collection.

Just found another Ranier Beer grill on ebay. Item 280648944024 (which ended back in March. Went for $52.

 

Did an internet search. Found reference to Budweiser, Mountain Dew, Pepsi & Coke. Might have to contact the company to see how many types of drink grills they made.

 

Also found a floating cooler called the big bobber. shaped just like a fishing bobber.

Found one for Fosters too. Apparently back in the mid 80's they had a trademark on the Big Can-Do BBQ name and a patent on the grill. Can't find anything about the company though.
