Kilts and Weber grills

[opositive]

maybe they were demonstrating the lack of flammability of acrylic kilts with webber grills to show how safe the grill is.

... And that, of course, is Jock Scot in the foreground demonstrating how it is properly done.

I doubt that was our own Jock Scot. Unless the photo was taken on a day when the fish were not biting, and he was looking for some other activity to while away the time.

Which one? The one with foil on the floor or the who-cares-where-the-ashes-go model?

Mine has holes in the bottom, so I have to put foil down to keep from torching my deck. But, it works a lot like the one shown in the link in Rev. Henry's post, except it's thermonuclear - gets much hotter.

"Gets much hotter" = aka the Backyard Bessemer!

Yes, or Backyard Castle Bravo.

What could be more masculine than cooking over an open flame while kilted? Nothing cranks up the macho level like a real threat of roasted nuts in your future.
I also have the simple, where's the ash supposed to go, model and will have to see if I can track down a couple of the pictures that have been taken of me grilling while kilted.

That is FANTASTIC!! Totally random kilted grilling! I love it. Looks like my backyard on Memorial Day and Labor Day.

The engineers amongst us already know this one where the BBQ is hot enough to melt EVERYTHING!

According to the Weber spokesman I contacted, this is an early picture of LitTrog abusing a chicken with a basting brush (note the wry grin, the plaid passing under his armpit and then wrapped around the bottom of his yarmulke).

If you've got a better method of ensuring the chicken stays Jewsy, I'm all ears!

This pic makes perfect sense--the Weber is clearly a product of Scottish ingenuity and frugality: before Tavish MacWeber introduced his prototype, the cooking surface on all outdoor cooking systems was simply a solid slab of iron. By raiding his cousin's nearby scrapyard for radiator grilles, he was able to cut production costs by 38% and shipping costs by 20%.

I heard that he sunk those savings into R&D for a grill-specific sporran imbedded with the tools of the trade. This effort to enable hands-free grilling, while a great success in the lab, was a commercial flop. It seems the wild hip gyrations necessary to turn a steak turned guests' stomachs as well.

The picture has remained but unfortunately the recipe for grilled fresh haggis has been lost forever.
