Weber Spirit SX-315 Smart Grill

Weber-Stephen Products LLC is a legendary name in the world of outdoor cooking, largely credited with inventing the modern kettle grill. The brand's journey began in 1952 when George Stephen Sr., a worker at Weber Brothers Metal Works, cut a metal buoy in half to create a dome-shaped grill with a lid, revolutionizing the way the world barbecued. Based in Palatine, Illinois, the company has grown from a local Chicago business into a global leader in grilling technology.

While Weber's high-end lines like the Genesis and Summit series have historically maintained significant assembly operations in the United States using globally sourced components, many of their more accessible models, including parts of the Spirit and Q series, are manufactured in China. In 2021, the company went public on the New York Stock Exchange but was later taken private by BDT Capital Partners, which now serves as the ultimate owner, guiding the brand's expansion into smart grilling technology and digital integration.
