This Vintage BBQ Grill Was Made to Look Like a Roll of Kodak Camera Film

From the annals of strange photography promo products comes this: a barbecue grill that’s designed to look like a roll of Kodak’s 200 Kodacolor VR film.

The grill seen in these photos was just sold on eBay by the store edsvinylstore-collectibles for $150 (plus $20 shipping). According to the seller, this grill was a sampler promotional product created by a company called Echo Manufacturing Co.

The grill is tiny: when collapsed (the legs rotate into the sides of the canister), it measures just 16 inches tall and the round end is just 9 inches wide. You won’t be grilling giant steaks on this thing, but you could use it to “process” some smaller meats for dinner.

Here are some more views of the grill from the listing that just ended:

You can keep your eyes on edsvinylstore-collectibles’s online eBay store here, but we’re guessing they won’t have any more of these grills for sale. A quick search for “kodak grill” on eBay didn’t return anything either, so this item looks like it’s pretty rare and difficult to get your hands on.
