Just come across a fuse box that I've never seen before. The box looks like this:

They are like light-bulb-type things that host a fuse inside of them. The fuse looks like this:

They work similarly to light bulbs too, with caps that screw in.

Any idea what these fuses are?

This is not necessarily a Weber product, but certainly an IEC 60269 "D type II" fuse, quite common in Europe. The "D" is short for "DIAZED", a registered trademark of Siemens AG. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60269#D_type_fuses for more details.

The colored button (red, blue) in the middle indicates the rated current (red = 10 amps, blue = 20 amps, see Wiki page above), and pops off when the fuse breaks (clearly visible through the glass window, so you know immediately what happened). To replace a broken fuse, unscrew the cap, and don't stick your finger into the hole (the whole thing is otherwise safe).

A side remark (in case you do not speak french): The labels read

  • cuisinière (left column) = electric stove
  • lumière (middle column) = light
  • chauffage = heating
  • frigo = fridge
  • machine à laver = washing machine

Weber DT II fuses. Sometimes called "bottle" fuses.
