There is a large burner that follows the circumference of the grill and a smaller burner that heats the center of the grill. This configuration is excellent for controlling the heat of the entire grill but prevents you from setting up a two zone cooking system. The propane tank for this grill is located behind the decorative grid. In order to reach the tank to turn it on or off you need to bend down and reach around the grid and then twist the valve while in an awkward position.
The grates are best taken to the sink or a hose for rinsing. The heavy duty cast iron grate is designed to work in partnership with the single burner and funnels grease away from the burner towards the center of the grill. The design works great but it results in a grate with odd shaped groves in places that is hard to keep clean. The 320′s cooking performance is good too, easily taking under 9-10 minutes to cook a burger patty, regardless of where it was placed on the grill plate. This means that heat distribution is near-perfectly even, which is always a strong sign of a great gas grill.
Nothing has changed in the design of the bottles, so its likely that something has happened to your regulator. Please let me know if you find an answer, portable bbq and I will endeavor to review the differences in model changes this spring. Most customers are extremely satisfied with their Q 100 purchase.
It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado. The Weber Q portable gas grill was invented when Weber realized that many people were moving into the city where they wouldn’t have large backyards. Typically, people moved into apartments and all they had was a balcony for outdoor space.
The LP model comes with an adaptor hose to connect to a 20lb propane tank. The natural gas model includes a hose and fittings to connect to a barbecue service line, should you have one. Beyond size, the rest of the features remain the same as found in the Q1000 series. The Q2200 offers a built-in thermometer in the hood and electronic ignition.
All of these are heavy-duty, making the Q 1200 sturdy, durable, and likely to last a very long time. As a portable gas grill that will likely appeal to novice cooks and experienced weber q chefs alike, the accessibility of the Q 1200 is a major selling point. The battery-powered electronic ignition is the same you will find on a high-end, full-size grill.
Our outdoor kitchen design experts have helped thousands of customers transform their backyards at no extra cost. The stand has a tank screen to keep the bottle from view. I think that’s quite handy, as it also protects from the elements, meaning your propane tank won’t rust out if you live in more humid areas. Rather than do a review on a grill that isn’t portable, I’ll give a general run-down of the portable bbq3200 features here.
It comes from the smoke that’s circulated around the roast while it is being cooked. This is a unique Weber kettle trait and it’s what made the Weber kettle a world famous icon. So it comes as no surprise that Weber’s research and development team set about trying to reproduce this flavour when developing the Weber Q cooking system. Just like our Weber kettle, all the barbecue smoke is circulated around the food inside, imparting that fabulous flavour to your favourite meals. So the ‘super barbecue’ flavour is created by both branding the meat on hot iron and the natural convection that circulates barbecue smoke all around the meat.
Instead of just ordering a pizza, he and his coworkers decided to have a parking lot cookout at lunchtime, and I offered to let them use the Weber to test its portability. He packed up the grill in the bed of his truck, and while he was surprised at its weight—which is more than 40 pounds—he really liked that it felt sturdy and durable. Using the grill, he was able to cook easily for himself and four coworkers, and they all agreed that the burgers and hot dogs came out great.
