Do you know, that…

Grilling is practically as old as mankind. It owes its current glory to its growing popularity that began after the Second World War. In Western Europe and America, a part of the middle class also started to move to the suburbs. With the suburbs came backyards, and with backyards came grilling and barbecue.

George Stephen, a metalworker at Weber Bros, invented the modern grill oven. He took one of the harbor buoys that his company made, cut it in half, welded three legs to one half, put a grid on it, then made a cover from the other half, and the vents cut into it helped regulate the temperature. Today, this structure is known as a Weber grill.
