All of these are heavy-duty, making the Q 1200 sturdy, durable, weber genesis 2 and likely to last a very long time. The core aspects of these two grills are nearly identical. Both types of grills feature a burner that wraps around the underneath a set of heavy duty cast iron cooking grates.
However the Traveler, which is just a little bigger than the Q2200 is absolutely portable and has a much improved cart and side table. My experience with Weber Q grills is that they get hot enough to grill steaks properly, have even heat distribution and are highly reliable. I do not own a Q2200 but do have the Q1200 and Q3200, and I enjoy both of them very much. Design flaw – you can only use smallest propane because frame limits size of cylinder. The Q is much smaller, but not noticeable when it comes to cooking.
