Q Series: Portable Gas Grills

Lastly, you need to make sure your grill fits your allotted space, and/or is able to move, should you need to store it or bring it on a roadtrip. I also purchased some side tables, grill cover and built a really simple grilling table that also holds the propane tank. I’ve been really impressed with the performance of my upgraded portable bbq and hope it provides many more years of happy grilling. The pop-up stand takes little effort to operate, and the wheels make moving the grill from the car to the cooking spot a simple task. The Traveler requires assembly, a job that took us about 15 minutes, and given its heat retention, it cooled quickly, making it easier to pack after cooking. We suggest taking out the grill grates to scrub them, though, as cleaning them made the entire setup shake.

The highlight of the Q 1200 is its porcelain-enameled cast iron cooking grates. This is the same material that is known as the signature of top-quality cookware like Le Creuset. We tested popular models of pellet, gas, charcoal, and electric grills at our Lab where we thoroughly analyzed every feature and each grill’s overall portable bbq performance. The grills were rated on various attributes including heat control and retention, size, features, performance, ease of cleaning, and overall value. We also sent popular Weber grills to our expert grillers and home product testers, who tested each out for weeks to determine which grills are truly the best.

Quick and easy access to manuals, replacement parts and warranty. If you like to cook with really high temperatures—I’m talking over 500 degrees—you might have trouble getting there with only one burner. The weber q 2200 Gas Grill makes it easy and convenient to grill on the go, but it’s spacious enough for everyday home use, as well. Every Q series model has 5 basic components that make up the “DNA” of the grill.

The ash is swept into the bottom catcher for easy disposal once it’s cooled, while everything else only needs a quick wipe-down. As you might know, starting a charcoal grill usually begins with simply getting the coals warmed up in a chimney starter. It comes with an auto-start gas ignition that consistently lit the coals for us. You can place the lid in different positions for the best top damper placement, with the bottom damper easy to adjust when your flame gets too hot. During our smoking test, we were able to keep the grill within a range of 10 degrees for several hours, making this a great option for cooking with indirect heat. To help find the right Weber grill for you, we tested popular models for weeks and rated each one on setup, heat retention, heat control, size, versatility, and overall value.

The integrated thermometer — available from 150°F to 600°F — allows you to accurately monitor internal temperatures without having to lift the lid and lose critical heat. The regulator is integrated into the body and employs an infinite controller that is easily adjusted between clearly marked low, medium, and high settings. The weber genesis 2 Series is a range of portable propane gas grills designed for outdoor cooking enthusiasts with limited space or on the go. With the durable cast aluminium lid and body supported by a reinforced nylon frame, this superb design will serve you well for many years.
