Weber - Stephen Products

In 1952 George Stephen Sr. was working at Weber Brothers Metal Works in Chicago, Illinois, manufacturing marine buoys when he came up with an idea for a better grill. His invention: a dome-shaped grill with a lid to protect food from the elements, while sealing in that only-from-the-grill barbecue flavor. George Stephen cut a buoy in half, added some air vents and legs and, in the process, invented the grill that would spark a backyard revolution. What started out as passion for George 60 years ago has evolved into a grilling revolution that has spread across the world. Today Weber® grills are sold in more than 72 countries, and people all across the globe are having fun with their Weber grills.
