Follower of cooking barbecue with a strong preference for good food and father of 11 children, George Stephen reflects on a method to organize barbecues even when bad weather prohibits the proper use of barbecues traditional.
George Stephen then decides to think seriously about a solution. During a sailing trip, he sees a beacon. An illumination comes to mind. He therefore takes a tag by dividing it in two and uses one of the parts to make a tank. For the product to balance, the inventor equips the tank with three feet and uses the second part as a lid. In 1952 is born the first barbecue ball. The Weber-Stephen Products LLC brand is launched. George Stephen can finally control the cooking of his grill. This new barbecue allows to choose slow or fast cooking thanks to its cover. In addition to being clever, the barbecue has a modern form. The goal of George Stephen is to keep the barbecues in the era of time and innovate. Successful bet !
