Weber Grills: Mostly Made in America by Private Equity. Sixty-one years ago, George Stephen got tired of wind and rain messing up his cooking on an open-air grill, the main barbecue tool of the day. He grabbed a buoy made where he worked, Weber Brothers Metal Works in Illinois. He sliced it in half and fashioned a tight-fitting dome lid.
This model has been discontinued. It is replaced by the Weber Q-3200. When Weber introduced the Q portable gas grill they found a lot of people not taking it to the beach but keeping it on their patio. It was a perfect grill for urban dwellers who don't have a backyard, but still wanted to grill. In 2006 Weber introduced the Q 320. A larger, two-burner gas grill that comes standard with the previously optional stand. This unit also comes standard with the hose and regulator to hook it to a 20-pound propane tank, after all at 21,700 BTUs it would go through disposable, 1-pound bottles very fast.
