I love this grill. I haven't use my weber kettle since I got it. air tight and I can dial it in to any temp I want. I asked my wife what she thought of the PK grill. this came out of her mouth, "it reminds me of my dad in the 60's wearing a white t-shirt and Bermuda shorts in louvers drinking a miller highlife burning hamburgers and hot dogs in the backyard".
make believe all the pics are black and white. and enjoy. one thing I liked about the PK is that it is made in the same town my mom was born and raised in. I have a connection to my grill.

I absolutely love this grill / smoker. my webers kettles should be scared. very scared...... 8)

There is a reason the PK Grill has been around since 1952. It originated in Texas. The guy used to sell em out of his 57 Chevy.
If you are on the fence about getting a PK grill/smoker, just look at these excellent cooks by Sparky 8)
Heck, my PK came out unscathed from the Tendarub Challenge ;)
-
You got me wanting one. Great pics
-
The more I read about these PK's the more I think of getting one as my permanent RV traveling grill/smoker. I've had a great time taking half my outdoor kitchen gear with me on road trips but I admit its getting to be a PIA to load and unload 3-4 of my cookers every trip. A PK or maybe two, that can be left in the RV for road trips just might be the solution.

They are so easy to clean as well. You take off the top in the closed position.....take out the charcoal and cooking grate (which is hinged) and the bottom pc simply lifts out of the stand and you dump it. Easy Peasy.
You can also order any parts for the grill off of their web-site.

That's another selling point, I can spend the day out riding and bar hopping then come back to the RV with some ribs, TendaRub and PK and have ribs in less than two hours. Sure beats sitting at the RV all day smoking ribs while everyone else is out on a ride.
-
Looks like an awesome cooker!
-
Love the PK girls and that is some fine looking food Sparky. You might want to get that dog on Jenny Craig diet though. I am still kicking my rear cause i found a 50's PK at an estate sale a few years back for $20 in really good shape but the grates were rusted out. I didn't know you could still order parts.
-
So the PK has 306 square inches and the Weber 363 square inches. Would I miss the extra real Estate?
-
The food that is coming from your PK would be hard to beat!!! Looks good!!!! Don

I don't think so pappy. I got plenty of room. I love that I can go in-direct / direct very easy and I am loving the shape. w/ the extra racks I got a lot of room.
-
My wife will disown me if I even mention wanting another grill.
Great looking grub, Sparky!!

Time to wipe the drool off of my keyboard.

Great looking foid Sparky!
That grill really performs!
-
I would say great post, Sparky, but it was more like a show with all that great looking food coming off a time tested grill. Bravo!
-
I had one of these back in the 80's and really liked it, particularly for ribs and steaks. "Lost" it somewhere over the course of dozens of moves. Wish I still had it. Thanks for the picture show ;D

You are putting out some good chow from that grill and it looks about the right size for the two of us
for those times we want some charcoal grilled food.
Just for a size idea how many burgers can you grill at a time??
-
The PK will hold 10-12 frozen 1/4 lb burgers. It will hold -4- good sized rib eye steaks at one time. For smoking you can do a full pork butt and or one large chicken. The main cooking grate is hinged so reueling is easy. This PK Grill was called the "Sportsman" back in 1953 so the size of the grill was tailored to the smaller families of the 1950's.
They do have some of the other PK models that are larger than the one offered.......I have asked Martha over at PK to please get one of the larger sizes re-introduced.......
-

Thanks and that would be more than adequate for our family.
Bigger than the 18 inch Weber and smaller than the 22.
Now which way to go?
-
You sir are my hero.
Cheers my friend.
-
You definitely been rockin that grill, some nice looking food
-
You would be hard pressed to find a better charcoal grill than a Weber, Pk or a CB940X........... 8)
-
Sparky, can you tell me about your set up here?....I have a PK as well and like how you have divided the space.
VVVVV

I used a weber vege basket on the left and a tray and divider on the right.

Sparky, I love your PK posts - maybe someday... ::) ::)

Yum yum. Great looking cooks for sure

David, I've cooked on and owned two Weber kettles, have a CB 500X, PBC, DB pellet grill and the latest a PK grill. If I could have only one grill without any doubt the PK Grill would be the keeper. Every time I use it I seem to enjoy it more! My only regret is that I didn't get one sooner! 8)

I leave all my grills on the deck - maybe someone will come along and steal a couple (but leave the PBC, please) so I can buy one of these.... ::) ::) ::) ;) ;D
