Our 1950s house came with this funky Majestic indoor grill, built in
next to the fireplace.

From what little I've been able to find, it's a gas grill, though the
house was never equipped with gas. I suspect someone used it with
charcoal, because there's still a lot of gunk inside.
I have no intention of grilling steaks in the livingroom, though the
idea makes me chuckle.

I don't want to remove it, because it looks kind of cool. So, I'd
like to convert it into something, but can't decide what. The crank
mechanism raises and lowers the internal rack, and that strikes me as
something that could have some potental.

Anyone have any novel ideas for a second incarnation of this funny
feature?
Thanks,

Bob

Disappearing liquor cabinet?


That occurred to me too, but it's not deep enough to have the bottles
standing up. If it were, I'd have motorized the rack, like something out of
Get Smart or James Bond.
