4 The moment that changed BBQ THE STORY OF WEBER It all started with a fire a fire that sparked George Stephen s interest in creating a better barbecue for everybody. His efforts resulted in the world s first barbecue kettle; the Weber kettle. Get the story from his son, Jim Stephen. Text Jim Stephen i Photo Weber-Stephen Products

5 Life is a string of pearls pearls that represent all kinds of moments. Moments of happiness, of joy, of success, of excitement, and inevitably of failure. These moments define us and we carry them with us throughout life. Looking back at the story of Weber, one moment in particular stands out a moment that was in fact the very beginning of what we know as Weber today. A moment of failure. Back in around 1950 my mum and dad built their first home, in a town called Mount Prospect, close to Chicago. At that time brick fireplace barbecues were very popular in the US, so my dad decided to build one. After finishing it he invited everybody over for a big party and the food went into flames. It was all burnt because Dad couldn t control the fire. In my dad s mind the barbecue dinner was a disaster. He was working at Weber Brothers Metal Works where they made buoys for the Chicago harbour system. Their speciality was to spin half spheres, then weld them together to make a complete sphere to make a buoy. After the flop of the barbecue, Dad s mind had started spinning on how to make a better barbecue. He took one of the half spheres, put legs on it, punched holes in the bottom of it to get air moving through and put a lid on top. Over time Dad s first barbecue evolved with dampers, a deeper lid, etc. essentially into what is the Weber kettle today. So you know how you deal with your failures is what determines your success in life. I always say this to my kids because if Dad hadn t experienced that disaster barbecue in the backyard, Weber probably wouldn t be here today. Failure wasn t an option for Dad - it was just a source of inspiration. He had a simple dream to create the best barbecue possible and build a company that reflected his personality, values and vision. All he wanted was to make an amazing barbecue that s what George Stephen Inventor and founder CELEBRATING A LIFETIME OF BBQ EVOLUTION 2017 marks Weber s 65th anniversary. It s been an incredible journey and for no one more so than Chairman of the board, Jim Stephen. He was literally born into the barbecue business as his father George invented the world s first kettle barbecue and by doing so founded Weber. he did and that s what he passed on to everyone at Weber today. A Weber barbecue is the perfect focal point of the special moments we all have in common. They are personal and unique, but we all know them. Those moments where we get together, talk and enjoy each other's company. That s exactly what Dad did and loved to do and now 65 years later, that s exactly what a Grill Academy experience is like, what our demonstrations are like and what it s like to cook in your own backyard. For Weber, our finest task is to make these moments possible to inspire and keep on surprising you. It s a great pride to be one of the children of the man who started this and revolutionised BBQ by introducing the world to barbecuing with a lid. Weber is built on the many moments you, I and all other BBQ lovers around the globe share everyday. Thanks to all our employees who put their heart and soul into making this possible, and thanks to every single one of you, who loves to grill and put all your passion into the food on the grate each day you ve made Weber and Dad s dream into what it is today: A wonderful collage of outstanding moments that was kickstarted by what I love to call George s fabulous flop the brick fireplace that went into flames. Some years ago my brother Ken and I visited the house we grew up in and it turned out that Dad s original fireplace barbecue was still there. So we made a deal with owner that he couldn t resist. He got a brand new Summit and we got the old fireplace barbecue. We had a bricklayer take it down and re-build it exactly the same at the office. Why? Because it reminds us all that through failure comes success, if you just keep trying and then, as Dad always said, you can achieve your wildest dreams! Jim Stephen Chairman of the board ~ 5 ~

6 REMEMBER RESTING TIME The core temperature of the meat actually rises a few degrees after you take it off of the braai. Therefore, it is a good idea to let the meat rest and reach the right core temperature before you carve it. This gives the juices time to distribute throughout the meat again, so you get a more uniform and juicy result. igrill also helps you here by warning you 3-6 C before the meat reaches the right core temperature, so you can take it off the braai and let it rest. Find the right igrill for you - learn more on weber.com ~ 6 ~

7 THE CORE OF PERFECT MEAT The chefs from Weber's Grill Academy all agree the most important thing when braaing meat is to closely monitor the core temperature, so that you can adjust the braai as needed. Weber's new igrill gives you easy and precise temperature control, meaning you have the freedom to enjoy the company of your friends or to watch the match on TV. Text Hanne Hedetoft i Photo Thomas Woller Some people love a tender steak, while others cannot resist braaied chicken or a juicy roast. Whatever your favourite, there is one element which is more important than any other when you braai meat the core temperature. This is what determines when the meat is perfect whether you prefer your meat rare, medium or well done. The core temperature gives you control, so that you can serve a delicious, juicy result, just how you like it. EVERYTHING YOU NEED When you measure the core temperature, you can forget about imprecise methods like calculating cooking time based on weight, pressing the meat to check it or, heaven forbid, cutting the meat. Let the meat cook in peace and instead spend time socialising with your friends, watching that important match on TV or chopping vegetables and preparing side dishes. As long as you can monitor the temperature you have the situation under control, and all you need for that is a thermometer. You can even move around freely as you watch what is happening to the temperature. IGRILL STOP THE GUESSWORK With Weber's igrill and the free igrill app you can keep an eye on the temperature from anywhere in the house. Using Bluetooth, it's easy to connect igrill to your mobile phone or smart device so that you can keep tabs on what is happening. This means that you can put an end to all of the guesswork about whether or not the meat is ready to serve. It also leaves you free to focus on what really matters spending time with your guests. Once the meat has reached the desired core temperature, igrill notifies you via an alarm so that you can take the meat off of the braai. Depending on the model, you can connect from one to four probes, so you can even cook multiple pieces of meat at the same time. THE FUTURE OF BRAAING Use the predefined core temperatures or ask igrill to notify you when your preferred temperature has been reached. igrill offers countless options. For example, you can upgrade it with a handy Ambient Pro Probe which measures the temperature inside the braai, rather than the meat's temperature like a normal probe. This can be useful when you are smoking meat or fish in the braai, or when you want to slowroast your meat. It's important to keep the braai at a constant low temperature for this, and igrill helps you to monitor it. You can set igrill to notify you if the temperature suddenly rises above or drops below a certain temperature.

9 GENESIS II THE NEXT GENERATION OF GAS GRILLING Introducing the all new Genesis II and Genesis II LX braais for all your special moments Text Jon Finch, Anne Thomsen & Jack Stafford i Photo Weber-Stephen Products As we all know, grilling on a braai is about much more than simply the food. It s about the occasion you re cooking for. Can you even count how many great times you have had laughing and eating around a braai? These are the moments in life you ll always remember. Times to celebrate, times to cherish. The Genesis is a classic braai that has been with you for over 35 years. But even classics need updating eventually. It has now been reimagined for the 21st Century with the all-new Genesis II braais. They re designed to be the perfect companion for whatever, whenever and wherever you re cooking. PERFECTING PERFECTION It s a big year for the world of braaing. It s a big year for every braai enthusiast and a big year for Weber. An icon is being relaunched and it s finally ready for the world. Ready for backyards, patios, gardens and balconies all over the globe. For more than two years, engineers and designers at Weber have been working on a seemingly impossible project: improving on perfection. The result, Weber's new Genesis II models, with the revolutionary GS4 engine. It opens up a whole new chapter in grilling history. ~ 9 ~

11 I HAVE TO GIVE A LOT OF CREDIT TO THE TEAM THAT DESIGNED THE ORIGINAL GENESIS, IT WAS SUCH A DRAMATIC STEP IN TERMS OF THE APPROACH TO HOW THE GRILL WOULD WORK Marc Colavitti Vice President, Research & Development History, research, design, imagination they have all played a part in developing this new benchmark of braais. The objective was to create a braai that could be a part of people s lives and fits with every stage of those lives. Above all it should be a catalyst for fun among friends and family, a focal point for getting together with the ones you love. The original Genesis was so well designed that the first major challenge was researching what to improve. We didn t have any kind of baggage. We started from a standpoint an excellent standpoint. Maybe that is an even bigger challenge actually, because you have to improve perfection, says Marc Colavitti, Vice President for Research and Development at Weber-Stephen Products. The research showed that the size of braai people choose has nothing to do with the amount of features they want. Some actually want a larger braai with more burners without the need for lots of features. But they were forced to buy both. On the other hand, someone who would love a fully featured gas braai for a small area, such as their balcony, had to settle with less because they didn t have room for a big braai. A GRILL FOR LIFE The idea really was that there should be a model for whatever life stage you re in, and that you only have to choose between which feature set and which size is right for you, explains Marc. The solution is to have the Genesis II available in two platforms. Genesis II has the basic features and Genesis II LX has a more extended set of features. Both come with two, three, four or six burner models. With the two burner models you have the perfect solution for your balcony or small patio not least because of the folding side table that will save you some space. On the other hand, the six burner models give you space you need to cook for the entire neighbourhood and their friends. GS4: POWERING THE REVOLUTION Talking about features and changes a lot of exciting innovations have been introduced with Genesis II. For instance the gas bottle has been moved to the side of the braai, as research showed that people wanted the handling of the bottle to be easier. This move actually has an effect on the very heart of the Genesis II models; the engine that is called GS4. There are a lot of great elements on the braai, but GS4 is the heart of it, and here we ve been working with all parts of it. To improve and make it even stronger. So by moving the gas bottle, there was room for moving the grease management system to the centre under the braai. This makes the system more effective as it leads grease more directly into the collection tray, Marc explains. In addition, the Genesis II LX takes it up a notch with a side burner, High+ heat setting for searing at any point on the cooking grate, and illuminated control knobs. But a lot of what we invent consumers will never see or notice. It s things like the improved ignition system, the burners and so on. But people WILL know that when they go to use their Weber, they're going to have a great experience and that s actually what s it s all about. GROWING FROM THE ROOTS The first Genesis was introduced in 1985 setting a whole new standard for gas braais. Back then all gas braais looked the same, and people were troubled with issues like flare-ups and uneven heat. With Jim Stephen and Mike Kempster who were the Head of Gas Grill Sales and National Sales Manager back then, and the legendary Weber engineer Erich Schlosser as the lead, a group was put together with the ambition to create the best gas braai the market had ever seen. After intensive work, testing and pushing themselves even further, they came up with the Genesis and introduced new features that have since become legendary. For the past years Weber s Senior Manager for Industrial Design, Carmen Lira, has been tapping into these roots and channelling Weber DNA. I quickly found out that the personality of the brand is to be familiar, uncomplicated, knowledgeable and authentic. People use words like performance and timeless to describe Weber, she says. Not least when it comes to Genesis. There have been a lot of elements to lean up against in the development of the new design. The way I see Genesis is that it is a classic. So this project was about what we could do to evolve the design without losing the equity that we have in our design elements. So Carmen started by trying to determine which design elements are specific to Genesis. When you look at the shroud from a side profile, there are three curvatures that are very Weber. No one else is executing their lids in this way. These curvatures are very relevant to the identity of the Genesis ; when you see the shroud without the bands, straps and rivets you ll recognise that it is a Weber braai. So I wanted to ensure that we would continue this. The end result is surely signature Weber. Good-looking and wonderfully easy to use. What more do you want from a braai? ~ 11~

12 THE NEW GRILLING SYSTEM OF GENESIS II 30 years of braai knowledge, endless research, and a team of passionate and devoted engineers. That s the best starting point for creating the strongest BBQ engine. With the GS4 grilling system, Genesis II sets a new standard in braaing. Text Amanda Donovan & Anne J. Thomsen i Photo Weber-Stephen Products Each component of GS4 was uniquely designed for easeof-use and to provide an unequaled satisfaction to your backyard braaing experience. Promising burners that are ensured to ignite every time, smoke infused food that braais evenly and consistently regardless of where it s placed on the cooking grate, and hassle free cleanup; you are able to focus on what it s is all about bringing people together around the braai. The GS4 grilling system is composed of four key components: The Infinity Ignition, High Performance Burners, Flavorizer Bars, and Grease Management System. These components ensure that every aspect of your braaing experience is easy and reliable; from the moment the burners are lit to the general maintenance of your braai. And together, create the strongest grilling engine within every Genesis II and Genesis II LX braai. *10 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY To honor our Weber for Life promise, we re offering our customers an impressive *10 year warranty for the exclusive GS4 grilling system. Each component of GS4 was uniquely designed for longevity; and we are so confident in the system, that we re doubling our standard warranty and offering a lifetime of customer service. *5 year warranty for porcelain-enameled Flavorizer Bars. ~ 12~

13 GREASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The grease management system helps with the removal of grease while reducing the risk of flareups. Drippings that are not vaporized by the Flavorizer bars are funneled away from the burners into the disposable drip tray, located within the catch pan under the cookbox. Simply remove the catch pan and replace the drip tray as needed. FLAVORIZER BARS The classic Weber Flavorizer bars are angled just right to catch drippings that smoke and sizzle, adding that irresistible smoky flavor we all know and love to your food. Any drippings not vaporized follow the slope and are funneled away from the burners, down into the grease management system. HIGH PERFORMANCE BURNERS The unique, tapered shape delivers a consistent gas flow from front to back. This provides ultimate heat distribution, ensuring that food grills evenly and consistently anywhere on the cooking grate. INFINITY IGNITION The Infinity Ignition is guaranteed to ignite every time. An internal switch on each burner control ensures that by turning the knob, the gas will ignite and start each burner with ease. Backed by a generous warranty, rest assured that you ll be up- and-braaing the first time, every time. ~ 13~

18 easy start guide FUEL AND CLEANING FUEL GUIDE Briquettes Weber Briquettes are made from 100% natural components carbonized hardwood, starch and water. It is a high density, good quality briquette, which results in less powder in the bag, which in turn means that it is less dirty to handle. Our briquettes will have you ready to braai in 20 minutes when used with the Weber Chimney Starter and two firelighters, and will deliver a consistent heat for up to 3 hours. Find more tips at weber.com 1/1 chimney starter C How to reach the right temperature With Weber Briquettes Use the right amount of fuel needed to reach the temperature requested in the recipe. Do not fill the chimney starter above the top. How much fuel you will need all depends on weather, which food you re braaing, etc. Here s a rough guide to the amount of Weber Briquettes you will need. 1/2 chimney starter C 1/3 chimney starter C CLEANING GUIDE Charcoal braais H If your braai has a built-in One-Touch cleaning system, you simply slide the handle from side to side in order to empty the bowl of ash. The ash falls into the catcher below, empty this when the ash has completely cooled. H Remove the grates and clean them with a grill brush, remove the dirt and wipe them clean with warm soapy water. You can ease the process by using Weber cleaning products. H If you notice something that appears to be paint peelings on the inside of the lid, these are actually grease deposits and moisture that are baked onto your braai. These aren't dangerous but they should be removed regularly, either with a cookbox scraper or a sponge, then washed with soapy water and rinsed with clean water. Gas & Q Braais H Check the hose for damage, holes, cracks, etc. regularly. If you find any issues, replace it with a new hose. H To clean the inside of your braai make sure it s completely cooled off. Clean the burner tubes with a grill brush in an up and down motion. Never use the same brush as the one you use to clean the grates as this could block the small holes in the tubes with leftover grease. If you have an electric braai, you should never brush the heating element. Preheat the braai for 10 minutes. Brush the grates and, if your braai has them, the Flavorizer Bars. H Use a cookbox scraper or a sponge to remove the harmless grease deposits that may have built up inside the lid over time. Wash it with warm soapy water. Scrape away any debris from the tray and wash it. Make sure to repeat this on a regular basis. Replace the disposable aluminium drip tray in the catch pan with a new one in order to avoid flare-ups. ~ 18~

19 LID ON COOKING, WHATEVER THE WEATHER! Text Tanya Harris i Photo Weber-Stephen Products When Weber s founder George Stephen, invented the Weber kettle braai back in 1952, it created a braai revolution. Due not only to its round shape, but equally because of the lid. The lid simply opened the door to a whole new universe of cooking methods that had not been possible on an open grill and today the lid is still as important as ever! THE SIMPLE RULE Cooking with the lid on and the vents open controls airflow and allows the heat to circulate throughout the braai. This gives you complete control over the temperature and eliminates unexpected flare-ups, which can char your food and detract from its taste. It also makes your braai work like a convection oven, allowing you to prepare larger cuts of meat like roasts and whole turkey etc. You can bake, smoke and use all sorts of cooking methods on your braai. By maintaining the heat and humidity, your food also cooks faster, while the trapped moisture ensures the meat stays at is juiciest. So remember to always keep the lid on for an easy cooking experience and the tastiest results. ~ 19~

22 CHARCOAL BRAAIS PROLONGING THE PLEASURE It s the weekend, your visitors are due to arrive soon and the menu has been planned. You have time to dwell on the details, light the charcoal, enjoy the smells and the crackling of the briquettes and immerse yourself in the ambience. This is the essence of the charcoal braai. 1 Lid and bowl Every Weber kettle braai lid and bowl is made of quality US steel, and porcelain-enamelled inside and out in order to achieve the best heat reflection and rust protection. 2 Aluminium vents Air vents provide airflow for combustion. The top and bottom vents should generally be fully open because the air keeps the briquettes burning. When you have finished braaing, you can close the vents to put out the fire. 3 Lid thermometer Built into the lid, so that you can always monitor the braais temperature.

WEBER BRIQUETTES Weber briquettes are made from 100% natural components carbonized hardwood, starch and water. It is a high density, good quality briquette, which results in less powder in the bag, which in turn means that it is less dirty to handle.
