Stephen had been working at Weber Brothers Metal Works at the time, welding half spheres together to make buoys.
He decided to use one of the half spheres, put legs on it, punch holes in the bottom for air flow and put a lid on top. That is how the kettle grill was born, according to Weber’s website. It has since gone on to create various types of grills and grilling accessories.
