Introduction
This document provides a comprehensive guide to Weber® barbecues, detailing their features, history, and cooking methods. It covers various models, accessories, and the Weber® Grill Academy™.
Why Choose Weber®
Weber® barbecues are renowned for their quality construction, ease of assembly, durability, and ability to deliver evenly cooked meals without flare-ups.
Cooking Methods- Charcoal Cooking: Direct grilling involves spreading briquettes evenly, while indirect roasting uses briquettes on the sides with a drip tray in the middle.
- Gas Cooking: Direct grilling requires pre-heating and placing food directly above burners. Indirect roasting involves turning off the middle burner and placing food above unlit burners.
- Weber® Q™ Cooking: Similar methods are used with adjustments for single or multiple burners.
Always cook with the lid on for best results.

barbecue cooking school offers courses to learn Weber® cooking techniques, located in Oxfordshire.
