Works with 2014 Weber q 1000-series and Weber q 2000-series grills Only. Hook and loop strap keep grill in Place on stand in transport mode. The Q2200 and Traveler are the perfect size for grilling for 5-6 people. The Q1200 is the perfect size for grilling for 2-4 people. There are five different Q grills with different sizes, prices and features so making blanket comparisons to the Traveler is not straight forward. Let’s take a look at the table that I put together below that compares the base features of size and features before we talk about the big picture.
After all, if portability is what you are after, you also want to keep things simple. The pared down design is also great for an easier weber genesis 2 grilling experience, particularly for newbies. The only other element that you have to be fastidious about cleaning is the drip pan.
The only annoyance in the wind is the disposable aluminum drip tray liner, which is designed to save you from having to clean what can notoriously be the nastiest part of a grill. Without some significant weight added — like a rock — you can expect that this drip pan will pick up and fly away with the first significant gust of wind. The weber genesis 2 1200 is an unexpectedly powerful grill, resulting in cook times that were much faster than expected for such a petite barbecue. Like other top models, this is all thanks to a single, U-shaped burner that effectively delivers heat across the range of the grill surface. As I mentioned earlier, the materials used to make all the main parts are either cast aluminum, stainless steel, or glass-reinforced nylon. All of these materials will hold up exceptionally well in most situations, given that the grill is stored correctly when not in use.
A whole chicken or even a small brisket shouldn’t be too much hard work on this grill. Thus, you do have a few more options for what you can cook with the Weber Q2200. The Orson Gygi Company has evolved from a restaurant wholesale kitchen supply store, to a shopping experience for anyone searching for anything kitchen. This means you will only get 2 and MAYBE 3 grilling sessions per bottle of propane.
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. 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.
You can set up or collapse the grill with one hand while you are holding a beer in another. The grill has a red rubber latch to keep the legs closed and a retractable lid latch that holds the lid in place during transport. The warranties on the two grills are just about identical with weber q 5 year coverage for most components. The lower profile lid on the Traveler does mean that you will have to make some minor compromises when it comes to gilling large items. For example, you can fit a couple of whole chickens on the Traveler but you will need to spatchcock them first.
While the Traveler does fold up easily and can be dragged around without too much effort, it is still rather heavy pounds to be exact — especially with the grill grates inside. I personally wouldn’t want to drag or carry this grill on a hike or even a long walk. I needed to keep my Weber Q1200 off the ground because rodents were getting at the drip pan at night. I have to hold the grill/ cart down when I am cleaning the grill with the grill brush because it is too wobbly. For the price it should have been a little better built.
At the same time, the structure ensures stability – even with the additional weight of food. Next, I wanted to see how well I could control the temperature for lower-slower grilling candidates. There’s just one knob to control the fuel output and while the temp did drop when I lowered it, it was difficult to precisely control the temp one way or the other.
It’s supposed to slide in underneath the grill body, but the pan that came with my grill was the tiniest bit too big and wouldn’t slide into the grooves. I tried everything I could think of—rotating it, bending it, putting it in from the other side—and it simply wouldn’t fit.

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. It is also really easy to use and a lot of fun to work with as well. Speaking of weight, one of the few negative things that I do have to say about the portable bbq 2200 is regarding how heavy it is.
