Over 65 years ago, George Stephen cut a metal buoy in half, and then added a grate and three legs, thus creating the iconic kettle barbecue. We’ve been making grills of the highest quality ever since. Jim Stephen, our chairman & son of our founder, summed up the Weber philosophy perfectly when he said, “we’re not metal benders, we’re in the entertainment business.” That’s because we don’t just manufacture barbecues. We are driven by the same passion that inspired George back in 1952: a desire to improve the whole barbecue experience, making it easy to produce great tasting food. Our comprehensive range of high quality grills & innovative accessories make lighting, cleaning & cooking on your barbecue effortless. We’re also committed to ensuring that Weber owners get the most out of their barbecues. We teach how to barbecue the Weber Way through our range of cookbooks, recipes, apps and even hands-on barbecue courses at the Weber Grill Academy.
