Jason is known for his green thumb as he oversees the garden at Weber Headquarters . Jason grew up on a small, sustainable farm, which sparked his passion for agriculture. As owner & operator of Retro Farm in south Georgia, the farm provides seasonal crops for local grocery stores & farmers markets.
Jason shares his passion for learning and teaching through his facilitation of BBQ classes, educating consumers on the use and maintenance of their grills and helping them gain the confidence to become a backyard hero. Jason spent 2 years on the Weber Mobile Grill Academy Tour where he conducted product training for various retailers, as well as grilling classes where he educated, entertained and inspired consumers on all things grilling.
Through his travels across North and Central America as well as Europe, Canada, and Mexico, Jason has been privileged to collaborate with and learn from many experienced Chefs and Pit Masters. He has gained invaluable tricks of the trade from many distillers, winemakers and farmers and incorporates those techniques within his grilling style and infuses those diverse flavors in his recipes.
For the past couple of years, Jason has had the opportunity of working with Weber’s Head Grillmaster, Dustin Green, to develop some mouth-watering recipes and collegial BBQ experiences.
Dustin’s culinary journey began at the University of Wisconsin - Stout and the Scottsdale Culinary Institute, where he refined his skills in classical cooking techniques, menu development, and kitchen leadership.

With thousands of grilling hours under his belt, Green is sought after for his know-how in barbecue cooking. Green is also a crucial voice in product conception and development at Weber. He works alongside the product management and R&D teams to create innovative, high-performing grills and accessories. The insights and expertise honed over his career help ensure Weber owners experience the quality and strong functionality associated with Weber products.
A Weber Kettle historian and avid collector, Dustin’s love for grilling started early—his first memories of barbecue involve cooking alongside his father on a classic black Weber kettle. That childhood passion evolved into a career that allows him to blend his deep culinary expertise with his love of outdoor cooking. His ability to deconstruct recipes, reimagine flavors, and translate complex dishes into approachable grill-friendly creations has made him an invaluable leader in the Weber community.
Dustin has traveled the globe, educating people on all things Weber—from teaching backyard grillers the fundamentals of barbecue to training top chefs on advanced grilling and smoking techniques.

Through his work, he delivers world-class grilling experiences, ensuring that both beginners and seasoned pros can unlock the full potential of their grills and master the art of barbecue.
When he’s not manning the flames, you’ll find Dustin experimenting with bold flavors, testing the latest Weber innovations, or simply enjoying a backyard cookout with friends and family. His goal? To inspire grillers everywhere to embrace the art of barbecue and make every meal an experience to remember.
