No, I'm afraid there is no trace of Commodore anywhere on the BBQ. Yeah,
looking back, they should have stamped a chicken head or something into it in
some inconspicuous spot. How do I know they didn't? I took the whole thing
apart a couple years ago and re-furbed it top to bottom. Before doing this I
would just leave it outside, uncovered, year round. Now that it looks brand new
again, I keep it in the garage. :]
As was mentioned, Commodore made filing cabinets at Pharmacy Ave. Most people
know they also made desks (the L-shaped secretarial, large rectangluar
executive and other styles), but they also made office chairs for a short time.
There were the shorter clerk style swivel armchairs and highback executive
style, both in several styles and colours. I think they were abandoned because
they probably didn't generate the kind of profit margins that made Jack happy.

Wow, that's quite interesting. I had always assumed that the watches
were purely a marketing gimmick for the computers etc, and not a
product line unto themselves.
Karl, does that BBQ have the Commodore name or logo on it anywhere?
If so it could be quite the curiosity as a showpiece at World of
Commodore this year! ;-)
