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). And that, of course, is Jock Scot in the foreground demonstrating how it is properly done. 
I, too, got a Weber grill for Father's Day! It looks a lot like the ones in the picture.

I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

BTW, is that a flowered apron he's wearing while basting that chicken?

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

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

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.

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.

Now we all know that the home of the fried mars bar wouldnt do that, BUT, as any reader of the Sunday Post will tell you Oor Willie just happened to have a well used bucket, and on a Sunday (well i have to make it holy somehow) he was asked by his Ma to empty the coals from the grate, which being the industrious type of guy he is, he did in his holy bucket...
Taking it outside however he was offered toffee by wee boab, snd anticipating his hands getting sticky he put the bucket down, now at this point the broons offered them an auld fitba, and while they were playin and enjoying the toffee Jock wandered by with his fresh catch of fish... Seeing the bucket of coals he decided to do a quick bit of grilling... Of course such a novel scene was bound to be caught on camera... And that's how the webers got the idea... And as a homage to its origins, they make a yearly pilgramage to scotland to pay their royalties (it was a messy legal affair involving copyright infringement)... True story...
