Weber Grill-Line Offers Free 'Weber Tailgating Tips' to Consumers

Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Because grilling is increasingly becoming the cornerstone of tailgating parties across America, Weber is offering a free consumer guide, "Weber Tailgating Tips," through its Weber Grill-Line at 1-800-GRILL-OUT. The guide is available until March 1st, 2005.

According to the 2nd annual Weber Tailgating Study, 80 percent of today's tailgaters select grilling as the number one activity in the parking lot -- up from the 2003 Weber Tailgating Study statistic of 71 percent. The Study was conducted by third party research firm Synovate, Inc.

The "Weber Tailgating Tips" pamphlet includes information for tailgate success -- from tailgate grilling tips to a comprehensive tailgating checklist to Weber's famous "Classic Bacon Cheeseburger" recipe from the best-selling cookbook, Weber's Big Book of Grilling. Hamburgers still reign as the favorite grilled food at tailgate parties (81 percent of respondents choose burgers as number one), according to the 2nd annual Weber Tailgating Study.

This year marks the Weber Grill-Line's expansion to being open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 364 days a year from previous years' spring and summer-only hours. Weber has extended its Grill-Line hours as more Americans grill year-round and not just during the previously traditional warm weather months. The Weber Grill-Line is now closed only on Christmas Day.
