The Original Grillmaster

Back in 1952, a love of good barbecue lit a fire under George Stephen. He loved to grill, and found grilling the perfect way to relax, but couldn’t find a grill on the market that lived up to his high expectations. An employee of Weber Brothers Metal Works just outside of Chicago, George welded metal buoys for a local yacht club. And our story begins.
