Verification Notes
Charcoal grills made in Palatine, IL since 1952. Gas grills and some accessories may be made overseas. Kettle grills are the iconic USA product. claim-partial (moderate): Weber's About page states Huntley, IL manufacture (with globally sourced components); kettles and Smokey Mountain charcoal products are the line consistently tied to Huntley. Weber also sources lines from China (Spirit, Q, Searwood pellet per multiple reports; Weber told a Reddit user Genesis II was dual-sourced Palatine/China 2018-19). No per-model origin on Weber or Amazon pages; the Copper kettle listing carries Amazon's 'Made in USA or Imported' hedge line (hedge, not contradiction). Several of our descriptions say 'Palatine' (HQ) rather than Huntley (plant) - wording fix only. Existing knownExceptions:true is correct. https://amer.weber.com/en-us/pages/about-us "Today, we stay true to our Midwestern roots by continuing to manufacture grills in Huntley, Illinois, using only the best U.S. and globally sourced components."

A grill shaped like a buoy
In 1952 George Stephen came up with a round, lidded charcoal grill whose shape was inspired by a buoy. That kettle is still the core of the line: the Original Kettle in 18 and 22 inches, the Original Kettle Premium, the Master-Touch, and the Smokey Mountain Cooker smokers in 18 and 22 inches.
Built in Huntley, not Palatine
Weber says its grills "are designed and engineered by a team at our Chicago headquarters, and every day our wide assortment of grills roll off the manufacturing lines at our plant in Huntley, Illinois." It adds that it uses "only the best U.S. and globally sourced components." ABC7 Chicago reported from the Huntley plant that an 800-ton press stamps the lid and bowl of the kettle grills.
Older accounts place Weber grill production in Palatine. Weber's own page names Huntley.
Not every Weber product is made in Illinois, and Weber does not publish a model-by-model list. The kettles, smokers and Genesis E-325 gas grill shown here are tied to the Huntley plant. For any other Weber grill or accessory, check the box or the product page for a country of origin.
