It seems that the handle above the regulator is not quite in the right spot, and it can be challenging to attach a 16.4oz propane bottle to it. Weber suggests lifting the grill up by the right side handle to connect the cylinder at a bit of an angle. Modifying the handle by grinding or filing out a bit for extra clearance will void your warranty. After you have finished cooking for the day, let the grill cool off enough to handle the grates. Remove the grease tray and dispose of the liner and its contents appropriately.
The warranty covers grills given as gifts but is otherwise non-transferable. A 5 year warranty period includes the grill body, lid, grates, frame, side tables, and burner against rusting or burning through for. The paint is covered for two years as long as it’s not normal fading or discoloration.
They are able to transfer heat evenly which results in more even cooking. Thus, similar foods of similar sizes cook at the same rate. First things first, let’s talk about the design of this portable grill. I quite like it – its compact size means that it can be set up virtually anywhere.
Weber has excellent customer service, and I’d bet that if you called them, they’d send out a replacement regulator right away. There is a good chance that it’ll be perfectly fine, but if it does crap out, it’ll be within the first few uses. Call Weber’s customer service number found in the manual, and they’ll likely send out a new one. Now, cleaning is never fun or easy, but I feel like 1200 is super easy to clean. While wind can be a factor, it’s pretty easy to work around.
I also own a Weber Q2200, which I have not done a review on, but I did write a review on its older model, the Weber Q220, which you can find here. Got a new Weberq1200 doesn’t even light up at all. Other places don’t seem to keep this grill in stock.
I have to say that I didn’t expect the Q 2200 to function and perform as well as it did. From putting it together to actually using the grill, it has been a wonderful experience all around. And, while I will be using my whole grills for heavy duty grilling and smoking, this has earned its spot in my collection. In general, though, this gas grill is pretty easy to use.
It is also really easy to use and a lot of fun to work with as well. This portable grill is far from cheap but I would argue that you are investing in the Weber brand and this is certainly worth the extra cash. It isn’t just about the features and how well the grill works – just take a look at the quality of the components. And, when you compare it to other portable grills in its class, this is definitely the heftier option. The portable bbq electric grills are a little more expensive than their propane counterparts. The Weber Q2400is priced somewhere around $300 to $350.
We recommend products based on quality and price, not on fees. These fees do not add to the price of purchase but they do help keep this site alive. Millions come to AmazingRibs.com every month for high quality tested recipes, tips on technique, science, mythbusting, product reviews, and inspiration. But it is expensive to run a website with more than 2,000 pages and we don’t have a big corporate partner to subsidize us. This is a great grill to take for any outdoor function. It has enough of cooking space for a small family and its temperatures are high enough to tackle almost any kind of BBQing that you can imagine.
While it doesn’t mean that ribs and similar foods are of the table, it can make it trickier to cook them. After all, grilling on a lower temperature doesn’t have nearly the same effect. The biggest issue here would be with the fact that there is only one burner. Now, given the size of the model this isn’t too surprising, but it does create a small issue when it comes to indirect cooking. I have to say, overall, I was impressed with what a good cooking performance the Weber Q 2200 offers up. Although it has a few limitations that you wouldn’t necessarily find with a whole grill, I did enjoy grilling on it.
Weber grills and smokerscook beautifully and have great features that are clever, effective and easy to use. Even in this crowded marketplace, many consumers are still willing to pay more for the Weber name and they are rarely disappointed. Their iconic black charcoal kettles are known throughout the world. One of the benefits of this gas grill – and others like it – is that size doesn’t matter. As long as it is hooked up to enough propane gas, it is able to produce a good amount of heat. This model, in particular, does a great job of reaching higher temperatures.
