Not sure about it. But it looks in good shape. What year and model do you think it is?

Broilmaster G-3T model history
  • The G-3T model is part of the vintage Warm Morning/Broilmaster series.
  • The original Warm Morning brand was phased out, with the company becoming Broilmaster, but early models can still be found.
  • Sources for parts for the G3 series list cast-iron burners that fit the Warm Morning G3T.
  • Some sources suggest the model could date as early as 1968, but it likely falls within the broader production window of 1968 to 1976 for Warm Morning Broilmasters. These grill are known to be still going strong decades later.

Thanks Josh, I didn't think it went back that far. It seems like a pretty rare one in good shape.
 
I think they may go back even further. My late father in law had one in his back concrete stoop from a house he'd had built new in 1958 in Richfield MN where my wife and her siblings grew up. He told me it was part of an option package for the house, plumbed to the NG line.
When my dad moved us out of Chicago in the early 60s to a VERY nearby burb I unaffectionately refer to as Moron Grove, the builder was offering a "gas package: consisting of a small copper NG line out to the front yard running an always on gas lamp, and a Warm Morning grill plumbed in right outside the back door and placed in the concrete stoop. Again plumbed in with IIRC a 3/8" copper line. My dad could not afford these "luxuries" so did not have them. He explained later to me, while the house was $21900 brand new he had to get the price as low as possible by having the driveway not be finished, no garage, lower level of the tri level unfinished as well, no floor in the font entry way and a number of other things left "undone". He then had to borrow the 10% down from his 2 brothers, and his dad (my grandpa). Since my grandpa, and his middle brother along with my uncle/cousin newly "imported" from Italy were all in the cement, marble and terrazzo business and had "connections" the house became a family project to finish to get an occupancy permit :D Sorry I am going off mark here.
In any case the builder/developer had begun there in the late 50s and many of those early homes had Warm Morning grills and those Warm Morning gas mantle lamps out front
So I think those Warm Morning grills go back much further than one might think

Larry Is there a chance that this is what your Dad had?
The Broilburger was the first gas-fired broiler developed by the Chicago Combustion Corporation, known today as LazyMan. The company capitalized on the grill's success by heavily promoting residential models, including partnering with utility companies in the late 1950s to sell permanent, natural-gas-fueled versions.The utility company offered customers an installation plan where they could add $1 per month to their gas bill for 39 months.

It was my father in law but I distinctly remember the name on the upper casting called "Warm Morning". Same with all the ones around the homes in good ol' Moron Grove. I don't recall seeing "Broilmaster" but I do for sure remember seeing "Warm Morning" on the lids. Now could it be the name Warm Morning was used by someone else before Broimaster picked it up? That I could not say. But, I always remembered the name Warm Morning because I thought as a kid how ironic because I never saw anyone use one in the morning. Funny how some weird detail like that can stick with you

Just so you know Larry I'm not questioning you I'm just interested in history and I like researching things.

Oh I know. No worries. Just thinking the name may have morphed from another earlier company? And IIRC even the gas mantle lamps were the same brand

Broilmaster grills were originally introduced by the Warm Morning stove company in 1958, making them one of the first residential gas grills on the market. They gained a reputation for their durable cast-aluminum construction, which allowed many older models to remain functional decades later. Some of these early grills were installed as built-in units by partnering with home builders.
History and development
  • 1958: Introduction of Broilmaster. The Locke Stove Company, which produced Warm Morning cast-iron stoves, launched the Broilmaster gas grill, featuring its iconic cast-aluminum body and "Bow Tie" burner. The first model was the G-1000.
  • Partnering with home builders. To capture the market for convenient outdoor cooking, Warm Morning partnered with home builders to install gas grills in newly constructed homes, a practice which expanded the market for residential grills.
 
So although you find online that Broilmaster Warm Morning was established in 1966.
Locke Stove Company did produce grills with the Warm Morning name before that. Before it became Broilmaster.

Which is pretty much what you were already saying Larry. I just wanted to understand.

Hey so this is really cool stuff to know. I never dove into it like that. Simply an old fart bringing up memories :D

It’s funny, the house I live in now was built in 1957 and had a natural gas burning lamp in the front of the house. I remember sometime in the late eighties/early nineties an uncle retrofitting it to an electric light. My grandparents purchased the home in 65.

We removed it when we bought the house in 2007.

In the mid/late ‘70’s I recall natural gas being declared a strategic fuel.

There was a huge drive in my northern VA area to remove wasteful gas lighting that burned 24/7/365. Various incentive programs.

Natural gas was even not allowed for power generation till the early 80’s I recall. When the prohibition was lifted, there was a huge jump in natural gas power turbine plants for generation. Small foot print, high output, clean, no coal, etc.

I've never seen such bad fade, it's essentially pink! May be some useful parts though

That is very interesting! I have a hard time believing that was red to begin with. Just because those red lids have held up so well. I currently own 10 red lid x000 Genesis grills and I have yet to see one faded. At first I thought maybe it was a chocolate brown in strange lighting situation but I don't know. The color looks pretty uniform all over. Even in the corners behind the handle. Also I don't know if that black handle is original to that lid or if it was painted black but I have seen those black durawood on a few of the chocolate brown grills I've seen. But the rest of the durawood slats are gray. I'd be very curious to see it in person if it was close in my area.
