This grill holds up to three good size steaks, or 6 medium burgers. I’ve used it for veggitables, warming up buns, and for foil packets. Ease of Use Like any other grill, turn on the gas and light it up. Ease of Cleaning Clean while still warm, so any stuck on food comes off. Durability This grill travels with us on every camping trip.
The Q Series grills are made from cast aluminum and heavy duty plastic which makes them immune to rust when used in coastal areas and near swimming pools. The Weber Traveler is a new portable gas grill that is a legitimate alternative to the weber q series. The Traveler is large, but highly portable, and packs serious searing power.

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.

The warranties on the two grills are just about identical with 5 year coverage for most components. The lower profile lid on the Traveler does mean that you will have to make some minor compromises when it comes to gilling large items. For example, you can fit a couple of whole chickens on the Traveler but you will need to spatchcock them first. I am not going to give exact prices in here because that changes on a regular basis. However, in general terms, the combined cost of the Q2200 and the cart is about $50 more expensive than the Traveler.
