George Stephen Has an Idea
While a guy named George was making marine buoys at his job working for Weber Brothers Metal Works, he came up with the idea of a dome-shaped grill. It was 1952, and at the time the idea of a covered grill was pretty revolutionary! That first grill was called "George's Barbecue Kettle." Seven years later, George bought Weber Brothers and a new era of barbecuing was born.
From Innovation Leader to an American Fixture
Weber grills continued to innovate, using stainless steel construction, making Flavorizer® bars, and creating porcelain-enameled cooking grates. The first Genesis® grill was unveiled in 1985, followed by the Summit® series in the mid-1990s, and the portable Q® series in 2003. Over the years, Weber grills have become not just tools for cooking food, but grills that bring people together.
