    Bummer at Weber!

    No injuries after accident, roof collapse at Weber facility in Huntley

    A Friday morning construction accident at the new Weber-Stephen Products global distribution center caused a big part of the roof to collapse, but no injuries
    A concrete truck pouring the floor inside the 750,120-square-foot facility being built on Freeman Road just east of Huntley Outlet Mall hit a support pillar, causing a 200-by-500-foot section of the roof to collapse just before noon, according to the Huntley Fire Protection District. None of the 50 or so workers in the building at the time were injured in the collapse, and made it to safety.

        wow that is sad, negligence is usually the cause of job site injuries. I see it often sadly in the commercial/industrial construction trade. I am glad the only thing hurt was the structure as it CAN be rebuilt. wonder if this will impact production??

            My guess is no, says it's a global distribution center so I'm thinking it's intended to be more of a warehouse.

              It a distribution center. I bet they will keep on shipping. You cant keep the awesomeness of Weber down [hehehe] I have to think its kind of a slow time for them and their just ramping up stock for spring.

                • We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).

                  Phew! It'd have been a real tragedy if it had destroyed their copper paint supply.

                    If you have a Weber Kettle, you need the Slow 'N' Sear

                    slow n sear
                    The Slow 'N' Sear turns your grill into a first class smoker and also creates an extremely hot sear zone you can use to create steakhouse steaks.

                    The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

                    the good one grill
                    The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

                    Griddle And Deep Fryer In One

                    Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
                    The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

                    The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy

                    Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
                    The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.
