This model also has a Grill Out handle light, which illuminates your grill for nighttime cooking. This grill is the only Weber Q that can be bought as a natural gas grill model instead of a propane gas grill only. It can also be hooked up to a 20-pound propane tank.
When you’re grilling outside, you want to make sure you have access to the Weber parts that you need. Whether you need parts to improve the look of your grill or to fix an issue, eBay provides you with plenty of options. You can find new and used parts to ensure your grill has what it needs.
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. Also see my articles on the best gas portable bbq grills under $200 and $300 to see what your other options are. The Q2200 offers you extra size, which you’ll certainly appreciate if you’re cooking for a large family of a bunch of friends. Proper pre-heating is necessary if you want a good sear, but otherwise it’s a nice, even grill.
The weber q 1200 is a unique portable grill option, mainly in terms of design. A single, U-shaped burner puts out 8,500 BTU to efficiently heat the porcelain-enameled, cast-iron grill surface. Although it tops our list of portable grills, the 31-pound, 3.2 cubic-foot frame of the Q 1200 is best suited to your tailgate, apartment patio, or as part of your RV setup.
If I have anything negative to say is that due to it’s small cover, it loses heat quickly when you open it. Can’t get around that, but it gets back up to temperature quickly. I suggest you get the 20 lb tank adapter as the 1 lb canisters just don’t last long. I’ve already purchased the 6′ adapter hose so I can use a 20# gas bottle. Weber does not recommend converting or modifications on any grills from liquid propane to natural gas .
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.
Because its dimensions of 20.5 x 40.9 x 24.6 inches are pleasantly small and therefore portable. But the powerful grill is also well suited for the small balcony. On the flip side, the weber q3200 comes with a stand.
