It’s around 30 lbs and is a bit cumbersome to transport without wheels. Out of the box, it feels a little clunky and awkward. It isn’t the type of grill you would be willing to carry very far. There is a stand available that would make it easier to haul. But, after paying more money for a practically stationary weber genesis 2, a stand may not seem that viable. I suppose that it depends on how much more a Weber Q1200 appeals to you.
I called Weber they recommended I loosen all, the screws so I could try and get the can to fit that way…how ridiculous. Paid to much to have to go through that eventide you want to change the propane can. I wholeheartedly recommend the Weber Q1200 portable grill.
This is not to say that it cannot be controlled, but that it will likely take a bit of a learning curve until you figure out how to do so. Temperature control tends to run away if this grill still has room to heat, i.e., it has yet to achieve its maximum temperature. Still, our testers were able to control the heat of this grill better than other models.
A final note to all coastal dwellers or poolside grillers, wash and rinse down the exterior surfaces regularly to keep your warranty valid. I’m embarrassed at how long it’s taken me to publish this review, but here I am, four years after the portable bbq redesign, dragging my feet to compile all of my notes. If you like to cook with really high temperatures—I’m talking over 500 degrees—you might have trouble getting there with only one burner. We purchased the Weber Q 2200 so our review could put it to the test in her kitchen. The Weber Q 2200 Gas Grill makes it easy and convenient to grill on the go, but it’s spacious enough for everyday home use, as well. We independently research, test, review, and recommend the best products—learn more about our process.
One of the few grills I’ve kept around after reviewing was a 1200. While I completely understand that it’s not the right grill for everyone, it’s the right grill for many people. A stainless steel Q-shaped burner tube produces 8,500 BTUs of heat, which the grill efficiently and evenly disperses across the entire grill surface. It takes minutes to preheat thoroughly, but it must be preheated with the lid down.

I’m not even sure that I would have, except that I still own a Weber Q grill. I feel like I’d be doing a disservice if I didn’t give you the most accurate review possible. Very little has changed since I reviewed two Weber Q grills over seven years ago. A slight model name change and some cosmetic updates are the only differences between the old and new grills. The Q line of grills still have all of the same features, the same specifications and most importantly, they all operate the same and produce the same results.
