Over 60 years ago, George Stephen Sr. of Weber Brothers Metal Works in Chicago set out to fulfill the need for a better grill. So, he went ahead and designed and built the first kettle grill. The kind of grill your dads dad cooked on. The Weber Kettle Grill’s design distributes heat evenly, allows heat to circulate around food as it cooks, and allows indirect cooking (like barbecuing a rack of ribs). No more trips to refill a propane tank. All you need is some meat and charcoal. Hell, you could even cook over wood if you’re feeling adventurous.
