Weber 1411001

The Backyard Revolution That Evolutionized The American Barbecue
In 1952, after he became frustrated with the uneven and uncontrollable flame of open brazier grilling at his Mount Prospect, Illinois home, determined backyard griller George Stephen set out to build a better grill that would protect his precious steaks from the wind and possible downpours - while sealing in a tasty smoked flavor. At the Weber Brothers Metal Works where he was employed, Stephen ingeniously cut a metal buoy in half and fashioned a dome shaped grill with a rounded lid-and the classic original Weber kettle grill was born. His invention quickly gained a loyal audience and ultimately became a prominent symbol of Americana. Available at Designer Appliances.

Today, 18 years after Stephen passed away in 1993, Weber has become one of America's most recognized and trusted brands. Headquartered in Palatine, Ill., Weber-Stephen Products LLC is the world's leading manufacturer of barbecue grills, smokers, grilling accessories, and other outdoor room products. As a leading exporter of grills, Weber brand products are sold worldwide at select home centers, hardware stores, department stores, patio stores, and other retail outlets.
