Cook
‘N’ Kettle™ History
Developed in
1947 by Mr. W. S. "Jack" Alter of Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Cook 'N'
Kettle™ continues to be the only product to combine the heat retention
characteristics of cast-iron with the even heat distribution of a kettle shape
to create one of the most unique barbeque grill and smoker combinations
available in the market.
The robust
cast iron design ensures the kettle will be around for a lifetime. In fact, one
of the partners of 3 Dog Barbeque, the present day owners of the Cook 'N'
Kettle™, continues to use his father's 1950s vintage kettle today.
Over 60
years ago, Cook 'N' Kettles were enthusiastically accepted as a fool proof
method of charcoal cooking. Over the years, improvements were made, but the
basic design has remained the same. In fact, many of the components are still
manufactured utilizing the same foundry patterns.
The Cook 'N'
Kettle products have had an incredibly loyal following over the years. The
present day owners are committed to the extended family of kettle owners, while
at the same time have a desire to revitalize an extraordinary legacy product
that is among the first commercially produced barbeque grills in America. In
keeping with this incredible history, the Cook 'N' Kettle products will be
produced in America, just as they were 60 years ago.
Due to the
nature of the design, these grills are not mass-produced and are hand crafted
one grill at a time. The owners of 3 Dog Barbeque are proud to be the 5th owners
of the Cook ‘N’ Kettle™ Kettle product line and even more proud to do their
part ensuring that American products are made in America.
We invite
you to join our Cook 'N' Kettle ™ family by ordering a piece of American
barbeque history today.
