Last up is the cart itself, which while functional, is about as flimsy as the tables. The cart will do perfectly fine while you are grilling your burgers but has quite a bit of wobble once you grab a brush and try to scrape it clean. The cart does collapse and you can roll portable bbq the thing around but you will not want to. There is no lid latch to keep the lid closed during transport and the grates will bounce around, and then out, of the grill while you are rolling the cart. The Q2200 has a single burner the goes around the body of the grill.
Thus, similar foods of similar sizes cook at the same rate. As far as heat retention goes, the cast aluminum lid does a pretty good job at keeping the heat trapped inside. As long as you keep the lid closed, you shouldn’t lose heat and will be able to cook the food faster. Like the Q2200, the Traveler is designed to run off of disposable 1 pound propane bottles, but you can get an adapter to fire the grills from a 20 pound propane tank.
Just used the Q1200 for the first time with my RV…easy to use and cooked very evenly. Just like all Weber products, it’s durable and cooks great. Let’s explore a few reasons to choose these grills over other brands that have littered weber q the market. I find the shallow body of the Traveler much easier to clean than the Q. To get the same portability for the Q2200 that you get with the Traveler then you will need to buy the portable cart separately for about $100.
This means that the burner doesn’t need to crank out heat at nearly the same rate as other, less well-insulated grills. It seems that the handle above the regulator is not quite in the right spot, and it can be challenging to attach a 16.4oz propane bottle to it. Weber weber charcoal grill suggests lifting the grill up by the right side handle to connect the cylinder at a bit of an angle. Modifying the handle by grinding or filing out a bit for extra clearance will void your warranty. While wind can be a factor, it’s pretty easy to work around.
Unequivocally, the Weber Q 1200 is a fantastic portable grill, taking the top spot as our favorite. Ease of use and cooking performance are supported by durability, making it a reliable option for even the longest of road trips. Even though its weight may keep you from carrying it into more remote locations, that job is best left to backpacking stoves anyway.
