About Weber
In 1952, George Stephen Sr. changed the world of grilling forever when he cut a metal buoy in half, added a cooking grate and three legs – and the legendary Weber kettle was born. Since then, we've been inspiring grill enthusiasts around the world. But we don’t rest on our history – we keep moving forward, constantly innovating and tirelessly shaping the grilling experience of tomorrow.
