This adapter hose that lets you run this grill from a 20 pound propane tank is a HUGE BENEFITand does not come with the standard Q2200. The standard Q2200 is designed to run from disposable 1 pound propane tanks. Although most renowned for their charcoal efforts, Weber also boast an extensive line of outdoor gas grill models. Our Weber Q 320 review brings one of their most popular gas offerings under the spotlight.
Along with all this, the grill also includes aluminum liner for maximum heat retention. Overall, you will find Q2000 to be as durable, sturdy, tough, and easy to maintain as the previous models. Apart from this, its cookbox design will circulate the heat much better to give you tenderized yet smoky meat. If this was not enough, this model includes large, sturdy side tables to hold your utensils or plates while cooking.
Again, this is not a deal breaker but will add some extra maintenance. The one pound propane bottles are expensive and must be disposed of as hazardous waste. It is illegal to toss empty propane bottles in your normal household trash. Our Grilling Experts are ready to help you purchase, set up and maintain your next grill purchase.
While its weight and lack of latching lid make it less than ideal for carrying into remote picnic sites, the Weber Q 1200 is the ideal companion for road tripping and car-camping. Many portable grills function to cook food but lack the finesse needed for grilling more than hot dogs and burgers. This one brings power and control to this category better than the competition. Originally labeled the “Baby-Q” this small member of the Q family is an excellently constructed little gas grill that gives you plenty of space and power for the size. The 189 square inches of cooking space is large enough to grill several steaks at once so you won’t have to grill in shifts.
Weber grills are known as being some of the best but how does the Q 2200 hold up? Well, with great temperature regulation, grilling capabilities, heat retention, and ease of use, it readily measures up. Within just a few minutes of preheating, this efficient grill is already pushing 500-degree temperatures. It is important to control the temperature off-the-bat if you plan on cooking more on the low-and-slow side. This means that the burner doesn’t need to crank out heat at nearly the same rate as other, less well-insulated grills.
Thus, you can easily tackle all kinds of meat and can even give searing a try. You can call the Q2200 portable if you want but there are no lid latches on the grill, it is a pain to carry portable bbq and the optional folding cart is incredibly flimsy. Both grills are solidly built but with very different materials. The Traveler is sleeker than the Q series with a lower profile lid.
Eager to test the new grill and kickstart the cookout, I started the 1200 up and threw on some hamburgers and hot dogs. We have used this grill at several family reunions where everyone brought their own grills and it was great. It also really came in handy when our power went out in the winter and we were snowed in.
