What Is a Weber Grill?
A Weber grill is an outdoor barbecue grill that popularized the kettle design for outdoor cooking. It was originally designed to burn charcoal, although later models also include a gas heat source. The charcoal models typically are available in three freestanding sizes, 18.5 inches (469.9 mm), 22.5 inches (570 mm) and 26.75 inches (679.45 mm). The tabletop Weber has a 14.5 inch (368.3 mm) diameter. The first Weber grill was invented by George Stephen in 1951. Stephen was irritated by the uneven flames of his barbecue, and the ashes blowing all over his food when wind hit the burning coals. He was sure he could improve upon the design.
