Smoque BBQ is an incredibly well known Bbq joint in Chicago, makes every best BBQ list, and is what often draws people to the neighborhood. Don’t steal their name

Smoque BBQ is a valued member of our community. The name means THEM and all their goodness. Weber grills has no right to co-opt as their own Smoque BBQ's long-standing, federally registered trademark.

What a joke. Weber needs to pick another name rather than steal the name from one of Chicago's finest BBQ joints.

Smoque is a Chicago institution and they deserve to avoid any trademark confusion. Barry is an admired member of the BBQ and Restaurant Community and the food industry at large. We thank him for all he does to inspire others to become passionate about BBQ and smoked meats.

Potect the name...Trademark's exist for a reason. Respect Smoque's well established Chicago and overall BBQ community brand, Weber!!!

Weber should not be doing anything to dilute a brand built with hard work and money by the proverbial 'little guy'. Doing so risks damage to the hard-earned goodwill associated with Weber's own brand. Not smart.

Smoque is a unique brand and deserves to be treated as such. Weber knows what they're doing.

Smoque already has the identity of specific BBQ. Try again, Weber.

How hard would it've been for Weber to've come up with "Schmokke" or something!! Don't be evil.

Smoque used it first, years ago. Weber needs to respect that and rename their own product. Being a big corporation doesn't justify being a bully in this dispute Smoque has the best BBQ in the Chicagoland area.

Weber is trying to interlope on a name brand that Smoque has spent years building up in the Chicago area. Shameful on Weber's part.

While I am an owner of a Weber grill, I do believe that Smoque the BBQ joint has a built a strong brand around their name and have a right to protect and manage that brand.
