The natural gas model includes a hose and fittings to connect to a barbecue service line, should you have one. Like all Weber products we’ve tested, the popularity of the brand is backed by quality service and sales, with replacement parts being widely available. But considering the quality of their products, you can expect a long and happy culinary relationship with this grill. The domed lid of the Q 1200 keeps the wind at bay — even high winds do not affect the flame, even on the lowest setting. Even though it is not necessarily insulated, the heavier-weight cast aluminum lid seems to be well-suited to retaining critical heat when outside temperatures drop. While Piezo igniters can also be finicky in cold weather, the electronic ignition system is entirely dependable .
However, the grill can still be bought for a lesser price, depending on the color you choose. The green and orange variants are the most expensive. The blue model is the least costly and costs under $200. Weber offers a 5-year warranty on the parts of this grill, including the plastic components. The basic structure of the housing and cover sits in a glass fiber reinforced nylon frame, which promises durability, heat, and weather resistance. However, the grate still has to be cleaned, which is particularly easy.
Again, considering this grill against all other tabletop models in this review, the Q 1200 “packs down” to a less-than-reasonable 3.2 cubic-feet. We put that phrase in quotations because the only thing that packs away are the side tables, which do conveniently fold up securely underneath the lid. Throughout my testing, I was easily able to achieve temperatures of 450 to 500 degrees with this portable grill, which was enough for my needs. However, 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.
