Earliest BBQ Photographs

bbqgeekess · Feb 21, 2014

Thought it would be cool to create this thread for people to share some of the very earliest BBQ photographs.

Photographs of food, equipment, people, structures, etc..

E.g. I'd love to see the earliest photograph of a sliced brisket -- would love to see that smoke ring.

My first brisket, 12 hours in "Old Leaky" with Jack Daniels chips.....

Been trying to get back there since...

This was about 6am.. Earliest thing I have pictures of.. Usually I BBQ later in the day.

I went looking for some posts by old member Boshizzle, but, the images are unlinked

Sorry, let me clarify, I mean the OLDEST BBQ photos known to mankind. Thanks Landarc.

Google might be a good source for that. Most of us aren't that old :-D

This one is credited as being from 1901 - the oldest I have found with a date assigned to it (so far)

You're welcome.

boshizzle was the keeper O' BBQ history here.

Where has he been?

meridian8 · Feb 21, 2014

The 1900 picture looks like they're done cooking and already pulled the meat?

HookedOnQ · Feb 21, 2014

As stated above boshizzle would be the man to go too for old pics or any history on bbq for that matter. If im not mistaken he has a blog with a lot of good info on the history of bbq. Haven't seen him on here in a long while hope all is well.

1st thing I cooked (w/ pics) was this marinated pork loin.

Happy Hapgood · Feb 21, 2014

We make history with every BBQ. ;D

Where's that 100 yd trench with 200 hogs stretched over it pic from early 19xx's?

I am surprised people didn't have more pictures to add to this. The old school pictures are pretty cool.
