Grill, Baby, Grill!

Take your summer cookout to the next level!

Humans have been cooking our food since shortly after the domestication of fire, around 500,000 years ago. But grilling as we know it stems from the 1940s when camping and hiking was popular. After WWII and the middle-class relocation to suburbia, backyard grilling took off! This summer, treat your family and friends to one of the delicious recipes found in our books specifically about grilling. Our “Grill, Baby, Grill” book display features everything you need to know to grill the perfect spread, for amateur grillers and even the most experienced grill-masters! You’ll find books for vegan grilling, for different styles of barbecue, and the best tips for outdoor entertaining. Your summer will never be the same again!

What was the original Weber Grill prototype made out of?

• An old metal pipe
• A buoy
• Two modified lobster pots

The answer: a buoy! George Stephens, a metalworker, gained controlling interest in the Weber Bros. Metal Spinning Co., which made buoys. He simply cut one in half, added a grate, and the modern Weber Grill was born.¹
