From charcoal to gas to pellet grills, there are plenty of grills on the market that are capable of fulfilling all of your grilling needs. Gas grills, in particular, are great due to their ability to control the heat temperature while they’re in use.

The grill has a dimension of 25.1×51.4×26 inches with the lids which shows that its larger cooking space does not affect its portability. Porcelain-enameled, cast-iron cooking grates provide even heat distribution across the entire grilling surface and superior heat retention. The Q2200 has just one stainless steel burner with an output of 12,000 btu’s per hour that is capable of heating a 280 square inch grilling surface. The Weber Q3200 has a grilling surface of 393 square inches. Unlike the Q 2200, the 3200 has two stainless steel burners with an output of 21,500 btu’s per hour.
A comparison chart is always a good way to start as it puts things into perspective quickly. As you can see, the biggest difference between these two grills is the size and of course the price, which we’ll get to at the end of the article. Generally, we think the grill offers a high value for money, thanks to the durable construction, reliability, and assurance of quality with the 5-year warranty.

The gas flame can be easily ignited with the built-in, windproof electric ignition or in the traditional way with a match.
The grill is compact enough to fit into tight spaces but still offers a ton of cooking space. The lid is tall enough to let you cook a beer weber charcoal grill can chicken and there is enough grate space for a big pile of chicken wings. Cooking four big ribeye steaks at a time is no problem.
There is are two accessories available for this grill, a griddle and a rotisserie, that really ramp up your grilling fun. You can use the griddle to cook breakfast favorites like bacon and eggs or pancakes outside. You can use the rotisserie to cook whole chickens, pork loins and even beef roasts. The grill is easy to assemble, cleans easily and is relatively low maintenance.
It’s a great choice if its primary use will be tailgating or camping. Still, I read through the poor reviews for both grills. Some reviewers for either grill stated that the grill didn’t get hot enough. Others complained about how long it took to assemble . Some pointed to the grill’s limitations, i.e. it’s only good for burgers and hotdogs but it doesn’t have enough space to use pots or pans with it.
