I am not going to give exact prices in here because that changes on a regular basis. However, in general terms, the combined cost of the Q2200 and the cart is about $50 more expensive than the Traveler. Grill is attached to the cart for quick & easy setup. I have been cooking on both a Traveler and a couple of weber q’s for months now and wanted to share my thoughts on a Head to Head comparison.
These days, he’s likely somewhere trying the latest this or tasting the latest that – and reporting back, of course. Anything with sesame is his all-time favorite food this week. The Traveler has the same burner and grate configuration as the Q2200 so it isn’t perfect.
The standard Q2200 is designed to run from disposable 1 pound propane tanks. Like all Weber products we’ve tested, the popularity of the brand is backed by quality service and sales, with replacement parts being widely available. But considering the quality of their products, you can expect a long and happy culinary relationship with this grill. 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.
If this was not enough, this model includes large, sturdy side tables to hold your utensils or plates while cooking. Overall, the construction of the Q1200 grill makes it quite durable yet lightweight, allowing you to take it with you to the beach or even a farmhouse. All the materials used to make and reinforce this grill protect it from rust, allows it to retain heat better and reduces maintenance. Additionally, the removable catch pan collects leftover grease from the angled grease pan at a distance, making clean-up a breeze.
Not changed is the 189 square inches of cooking space offered, push button ignition, infinite control burner value, cast aluminum lid and body and a glass-reinforced nylon body. The Weber Q 2200 is an attractive little grill if I do say so myself. It has a tan lid with the Q series logo on top, and it’s made up of a cast aluminum lid and body supported by a reinforced nylon frame. The brand also sells cast iron griddles you can swap in for more versatility. 2 tubular stainless steel burners, 21,700 BTU-per-hour input, 393 sq. The Weber Q 1200 is our go-to for efficiently and effectively cooking meals while on the go.
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.
The Weber Traveler portable gas grill didn’t disappoint and I think this a solid value at $325. It’s a sturdily built unit that comes together in a snap and is completely user-friendly to boot. If you’ve never grilled a single day in your life, I still don’t think you have any problems assembling and operating this grill. The Traveler got and stayed nice and hot and controlling the temperature — while not perfectly precise — was fine for the type of grilling most people do. It’s also large enough to be your permanent, everyday home grill.
The benefit here is that it limits the amount of grease that can fall on the flame, resulting in fewer flare-ups. Cleaning is never fun, but the Weber Q grills are much easier to clean than most other portable grills on the market. If you have a Phillips-head screwdriver and a can-do attitude, you’ll be able to set up the Weber Q 2200 Grill in a matter of minutes. After pulling the grill and its pieces out of the box, I attached the lid using the included pins and screwed on the grill’s handle and thermometer.
