If you have ever tried to manually start a fire, even on an electric grill, then you know what a hassle it can be. First things first, let’s talk about the design of this portable grill.
Apart from this, Q2400 has a stainless steel body, a glass-reinforced nylon frame, cast-iron grates, and cast-Aluminum lid and body. These features offer longer life, rust-prevention, and lightweight, about 42 pounds. With dimensions of 14.5 x 31.5 x 19.5 inches, this model is still easy to carry for its size. Coming to the cooking capacity, it has a total space of 280 square inches with the main burner providing BTU-per-hour. This ensures that your grill reaches a temperature of 550-degree in under 10 minutes. Moreover, with dimensions of 14.5 x 51.4 x 19.5 inches with the lids closed, the Q2000 grill is still relatively portable for a cookout.
The cart does collapse and you can roll the thing around but you will not want to. There is no lid latch to keep the lid closed during transport and the grates will bounce around, and then out, of the grill while you are rolling the cart. Freight orders are orders that are either too heavy or too large dimensionally for normal FedEx/UPS shipment. All freight shipments will require access for a semi-truck and trailer to deliver. If this is a concern in your area, your please contact our customer service team and we will be glad to discuss this with the freight company before the item is purchased.
I also like the side tables – they are high quality and are perfectly designed to hold food. In case you think that this is a trivial feature, it isn’t one that is available with many larger models. At the same time, it portable bbq saves you both money and hassle in having to buy third party side tables for outdoor grilling. The domed lid of the Q 1200 keeps the wind at bay — even high winds do not affect the flame, even on the lowest setting.
Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate, or jump to a slide using the slide dots. The only difference between the Q 1000 and the Q 1200 are the fold out side tables. Since you are probably putting this portable bbq on a table to begin with, the side tables are of no real value. I recommend saving yourself the $30USD and buy this model instead. Then you’re probably after a good quality, easy to use and reliable BBQ.
Portable grilling gets an upgrade by the masters at Weber. The Weber Q 100 gas grill features push-button ignition, an infinite control burner valve, stainless steel burner and porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grate. The cooking system is rated at 8,500 BTU’s and the total cooking area measures 189 sq. Other features include a sturdy glass-reinforced nylon grill frame, cast aluminum lid and body, and a large weather-resistant lid handle. The grill operates on a standard 14.1 pr 16.4 ounce propane cylinders .
The control valve and ignition button simply slip into place, and the ignition even comes with the necessary AAA battery. Once that’s done, all that’s left to do is place the grates on the grill and slide the catch pan into place. Once assembled, it was time to give the Weber a go at its most important duty. At 1,300 BTUs, the Weber has a good punch of power for a “portable” grill so I expected some serious heat. The ignitor worked and the grill lit on the first attempt. The internal temp quickly rose to just about 500 degrees F with the lid closed but didn’t exceed that temp.
