Weber Grills Celebrate 70 years To The Moment That Ignited A Grilling Revolution
Its been over 30 years I have been cooking on a Weber Kettle Grill. I grill probably 3 days a week in the rain, snow, and heat. I have only owned two Webers one was borrowed and never returned. I am sure its stilling working fine. The kettle I have now is about 13 years old and still works and looks like new. I wish they still sold the original that looks indestructible.
George Stephen The Original Grill Master
Luckily, George’s day job was at Weber Brothers Metal Works where he spent his time welding half spheres together to make buoys. He knew his way around a metal shop and after the flop of the barbecue, it all clicked. He took one of the half spheres, put legs on it, punched holes in the bottom for air flow and put a lid on top. Voila, the iconic Weber kettle grill was born.
Great video from son Jim Stephen about time with Dad tailgating at Soldier Field to pre-game for the BEARS and demonstrating his grill.
