Weber Genesis E-320

A Bit Of Weber History

Way back in 1952, George Stephen turned a metal buoy he was making at Weber Brothers Metal Works into a barbecue grill which revolutionized the industry. The Weber kettle barbecue appeared in the shape we still know today in 1956. The shape has changed little but has gone through many variations in style and fuel types over the past fifty years.

Evolution Of The Weber barbecue

Enter The Weber Genesis Gas Grill (1985)

More than 30 years later and Weber introduced the Genesis gas grill and set a new standard in barbecue grills. The Weber Genesis uses an innovative system of carefully angled metal bars to distribute heat more evenly and guide drippings away from the food resulting in easier cleaning and less flare-ups.
