The Q grill sparked the growth of a new category in the barbecue industry- portable grilling. In the early 2000’s, a timely collaboration between Jim Stephen, CEO Weber-Stephen Products Inc, and Bob DeMars, CEO of Original Ideas, Inc, the line of Q grills and products was born. Bob DeMars is a California based innovator, and idea generator, and Jim saw in Bob’s concept of the Q grill an innovative approach that has stood the test of time. The Q grill can be found in backyards, patios, decks, tailgates and picnics all over the world.
