This grill doesn’t have the much in the way of bells and whistles. That being said, the folding tables and the hood thermometer are more than enough additions to this grill. I also like that there is a built in thermometer – a hood mounted thermometer, in fact.
The meat was cooked to perfection in around 10 minutes, and I was really impressed at the heat put out by the grill’s 12,000 BTU burner.

There is a stand available that would make it easier to haul. But, after paying more money for a practically stationary , a stand may not seem that viable. I suppose that it depends on how much more a Weber Q1200 appeals to you. You may be asking if the new and old grills are so similar, why take the time to create a fresh review at all? I’m not even sure that I would have, except that I still own a Weber Q grill.
We recommend products based on quality and price, not on fees. These fees do not add to the price of purchase but they do help keep this site alive. Millions come to AmazingRibs.com every month for high quality tested recipes, tips on technique, science, mythbusting, product reviews, and inspiration. But it is expensive to run a website with more than 2,000 pages and we don’t have a big corporate partner to subsidize us. This is a great grill to take for any outdoor function. 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.
Rather than do a review on a grill that isn’t portable, I’ll give a general run-down of the Weber Q3200 features here. The significant difference between the Q3200’s compared to the Q1000 and Q2000 series is that they are not really portable. These two grills come with a stationary stand that the grill unit bolts onto. The Q1200 is also the colorful model of the bunch. Though it’s available with the same Titianium colored lid that all other gas models have, it is also available in several other colors as well. Red, blue, orange, and green colored lids are all unique to the Q1200, but it also has a black model, similar to the electric versions.
A final note to all coastal dwellers or poolside grillers, wash and rinse down the exterior surfaces regularly to keep your warranty valid.
