They're equally at home at informal backyard barbecues and formal dinner parties – and often the focal point at both. They're instantly recognizable yet inspire intense curiosity and unsolicited pointers from both well-meaning cooks and amateurs with hearty appetites.

Since George Stephen, Sr., unveiled his dome-shaped invention in 1952, Americans have gravitated to Weber grills with unparalleled fervor and enthusiasm. Stephen literally sparked a backyard revolution by showing traditional indoor cooks how to embolden the flavor of food by cooking it over an open fire. And for those people who didn't know the first thing about grilling a New York strip steak or pork tenderloin? Call it a baptism by fire, for the long-legged Weber grill prompted novices to don an apron, fill the kettle with briquettes and sear with confidence.
Generations of American families have grown up with the iconic, kettle-shaped, Weber charcoal grill – known the world over for its elegant simplicity and rugged durability. Generations more have grown up with Weber's portable charcoal grills and gas and electric grills while truly dedicated grilling connoisseurs have expanded their repertoire with Weber smokers.
The good news? You don't have to pick just one Weber grill for your home or travels. Just prepare to salivate as you mull the impressive and versatile offerings that would whet even George Stephens's appetite for innovation: Consider:
Weber Charcoal and Portable Grills

Everything you love about the original Weber charcoal grill – available in 18-, 22- and 26-inch bowl sizes – is shrunk down to size with the 14-inch Smokey Joe® and 18-inch Jumbo Joe® series of portable charcoal grills.

But not so fast. Don't go anywhere without scoping out Weber's Go-Anywhere® line of charcoal and gas grills. The rectangular shape will make you look twice, but they're Webers from top to bottom – from the familiar porcelain-enameled lid to the plated steel legs.
Weber Gas Grills

Just when you thought that shopping for a gas grill would make you break out in a sweat, leave it to Weber to give you chills. Its Spirit®, Genesis® and Summit® series of grills are available in two, three and four to six burners, respectively, while its grill centers (available to suit right-handers and left-handers) are sure to be the centerpiece of an outdoor kitchen. Let the space you have available be your recipe for long-term happiness with a Weber gas grill.
Weber Electric Grills

If it's cold or raining outdoors, you don't have to forgo the unmistakable flavor of an outdoor barbecue; you can replicate the flavor indoors with a Weber electric grill, complete with cast-iron cooking grates. Surprisingly compact, its winning design has been known to charm male and female cooks alike.
Weber Smokers

Weber raises the bar on outdoor cooking with its line of smokers, which virtually guarantee juicy, tender and scrumptiously smokey barbecued dishes. When your goal is to serve meat that falls off the bone before it melts in your mouth, a slow-cooking Weber smoker rises to the challenge, every time. Just ask Weber's devoted legion of Smokey Mountain Cooker Smoker enthusiasts.
