History of Grills


History of Grills Grills

Grilling food over open fire is almost 5000 years old, since man tamed fire.
By the end of World War II servicemen and their families started a migration to the suburbs, where houses had a backyard. Outdoor space called for outdoor pastimes and people started experimenting with open-air cooking.
The earliest form was a shallow sheet-metal pan placed over supporting stand and deluxe models were placed on a set of small wheels. These were called brazier grills. Weber's Real Grilling


Brazier grills were a flimsy proposition offering minimal control, even the food being cooked, often turned raw. It was then that Weber Grills were born.
George Stephen, a worker at the Weber Bros. Metal Spinning Company, envisioned a more efficient grill based on the harbor buoys designs that Weber was producing then.
He took a buoy and cut it along the equator. Then added a grate to the buoy and made some vents to allow the temperature to be regulated. The top half of the buoy was used as a lid. His newly made design became so popular that Weber became a household name for outdoor cooking. The first release was Weber kettle grill in 1952.
Thereafter subsequent innovations have led to more sophistication in designs and today we have a host of grills right from gas to charcoal to cooker grills etc.
