WTF Weber?

ChrisBarb · Dec 4, 2016

Weber has gone fully Chinese. At least the Genesis line has. Not sure about Summit.

Also the top of the line Webers will have no doors this year, only an open cubby hole.

Anyone know if this is going to apply to the Summit too?

No surprise, this has been happening more and more with them plus even the stuff that is assembled here the parts are made in China.

I'm sure some of you remember when they were legally compelled to remove the "Made in America" label.

Lots of stuff has changed even since this Bloomberg article 3 years ago!

Not sure about Summit. But my decision to buy A Broil King is looking better and better.

I've been going through the BGE VS Summit debate for a good month and I don't want it to end up Mexico VS China debate...

They're talking Summit gassers not the charcoal.

To the best of my knowledge the Summit lines are still here... For now

Weber finally succumbing to the allure of cheap Chinese labor/materials has only firmed up my "buy only (North) American" grills policy. (Not to mention just how bad my Chinese POS Smoke Hollow is......)

rehless · Dec 5, 2016

trump'll get 'em. You'll read about it on twitter.

TedW · Dec 5, 2016

It'll be yuuuuge on twitter

Bummer. When I saw the new Genesis line posted here a few days ago I was afraid of that. A few years ago I looked into getting a Spirit model and discovered they were being made in China. When I went to check out the quality difference at a big box store a floor model Genesis and Spirit were a night and day difference. The Spirit just felt like flimsy junk that wasn't built to last. :tsk: Sure hope they keep the kettle and WSM production in the USA.
