This is one of my favorites articles about Weber R&D. I'd love to meet Erich one day and thank him for his contributions to the industry.

Great story.  I like several aspects of it.  Delaying the 1984 release, because it wasn't perfected yet...the story of giving George a steak made on the Genesis, and him thinking it was charcoal...and finally, how the Genesis led to the Performer.
