Barbecues and grilling have become a social happening in America
and the Weber grill has been a backyard favorite ever since the
modern America grilling experience was invented. The grill has
evolved from the kettle-shaped barbecue style designed in 1951
by George Stephen, founder of Weber-Stephen Products Co., to
the ultimate grilling machine, the Summit gas grill, of today.
Mr. Stephen could not foresee the grilling explosion that was
to take place over the years, but continues to develop and perfect
a grill that will last for years and deliver exceptional results
every time it's used. Village Hardware on Ft. Hunt Road in Alexandria
is the exclusive dealer of the Weber grill in this area and carries
every grill that Weber makes, along with every accessory. All
of these are beautifully displayed in the Weber showroom at Village
Hardware. Owner Larry Gray has been with Weber since 1985 and
really knows his product. "My heart's into selling Weber,"
Larry proudly states.
The 2000 Millennium model grill is changed significantly compared
to the early days where open braziers often had flare-ups and
food was exposed to wind and ashes. Hence, the kettle grill with
a lid kept the steaks sheltered and juicy. The gas grill became
popular because of convenience, without sacrificing quality or
flavor, and clean-ups are a breeze. Village Hardware sold 15
Weber grills their first year and now sells in excess of 225
a year ranging in price from $350 to $3000. Larry says that the
average customer will buy three cheap grills before buying a
Weber and the comment he hears most from people is "why
didn't we come here first?"
The difference between buying a Weber grill from Village Hardware
or one of the warehouse-type stores is personalized service.
Not only will you get all the information you need to make a
decision but Larry delivers most grills himself and sets them
up - most of the time in one or two days. Sometimes, he can make
a delivery in the same day the grill is purchased. Customers
know when they come in to Village Hardware that Larry and his
staff are serious about business. What keeps satisfied customers
from returning again and again is the fact that Village Hardware
has such personalized service. They always have the product in
stock and they will deliver and assemble the new grill and cart
away the old one. And most important, Larry Gray will explain
the safety features of your new grill and give instructions on
how to use it. No other dealer can make that claim.

you use it. Weber will stand behind its product and its customers
for the entire life of the grill. These grills are built from
the highest-quality U.S. steel that is robot-welded for maximum
stability and then sealed with a durable coating of porcelain
enamel. They're built for the long haul. A Weber grill is not
released from the factory before all of its parts are scrutinized
and tested to ensure it meets the company's highest standards.
Suppose you still crave the distinctive taste of charcoal?
No problem. Weber carries an extensive line of charcoal grills
as well as the most luxurious cooking system made. For instance,
the Smokey Joe Grill can be packed into your truck, car or camper.
It's compact and serves up meals for a small family. The Charcoal
Go-Anywhere Grill is solidly engineered, with a space-saving
design (no nuts or bolts to rust or wear out) and a lid that
locks in place for easy portability
Whatever your needs or wants in grilling are, Weber has the
perfect grill for you. For a grill that's not going anyplace,
except into your beautifully landscaped backyard, the Summit
built-in model grill is just what you need. It fits perfectly
into that bricked-in cooking area, giving you a final touch of
luxury with commercial-grade materials that will stand the test
of time. And for your complete convenience, Weber adds such items
as tool hooks, stay-cool handles, lid holders, side tables and
much more. Their goal in mind being making grilling easier for
you. Every Weber grill comes with an outstanding warranty. So,
you can't lose. Weber grills get results that please everyone
