Electric Outdoor Barbecue Grill-(Black and Steel)

Electric Barbecue

An electric outdoor barbecue grill is a device that cooks food by applying heat from below.
There are several varieties of grills, with most falling into one of two categories: gas-fueled or charcoal.
There is debate over which method yields superior results.

Grilling has existed in the America since pre-Colonial times. The Arawak people of South America roasted meat on a wooden structure called a barbacoa in Spanish.

For centuries, the term barbacoa referred to the wooden structure and not the act of grilling, but it was eventually modified to “barbecue.”
It was also applied to the pit-style cooking techniques now frequently used in the Southeastern United States.
Barbecue was originally used to slow-cook hogs; however, different ways of preparing food led to regional variations.
Over time, other foods were cooked in a similar fashion, with hamburgers and hot dogs being recent additions.

Edward G. Kingsford invented the modern charcoal briquette.
Kingsford was a relative of Henry Ford who assigned him the task of establishing a Ford auto parts plant and sawmill in northern Michigan, a challenge that Kingsford embraced.
The local community grew and was named Kingsford in his honor. Kingsford noticed that Ford’s Model T production lines were generating a large amount of wood scraps that were being discarded. He suggested to Ford that a charcoal manufacturing facility be established next to the assembly line to process and sell charcoal under the Ford name (Kingsford (charcoal)) at Ford dealerships.
Several years after Kingsford’s death, the chemical company was sold to local businessmen and renamed the Kingsford Chemical Company.
George Stephen created the iconic hemispherical grill design, jokingly called “Sputnik” by Stephen’s neighbors.

Stephen, a welder, worked for Weber Brothers Metal Works, a metal fabrication shop primarily concerned with welding steel spheres together to make buoys.
Stephen was tired of the wind blowing ash onto his food when he grilled so he took the lower half of a buoy, welded three steel legs onto it, and fabricated a shallower hemisphere for use as a lid.
He took the results home and following some initial success, started the Weber-Stephen Products Co.
