Weber Q 1200 Review Tested by GearLab

Both of the 3200 models include folding side tables for storage in tight areas. It just so happened that while I was testing the grill, my boyfriend had an off-site event at work. Instead of just ordering a pizza, he and his coworkers decided to have a parking lot cookout at lunchtime, and I offered to let them use the Weber to test its portability.

Many portable grills function to cook food but lack the finesse needed for grilling more than hot dogs and burgers. This one brings power and control to this category better than the competition. The portable bbq 2200 is an attractive little grill if I do say so myself.

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. We purchased the Weber Q 2200 so our review could put it to the test in her kitchen. 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. We independently research, test, review, and recommend the best products—learn more about our process. If you buy something through our links, we may earn a commission. In this guide, I will take a look at two of the popular Q-series grills, the Q1200 and the Q2200, and go through the key differences and who they are for.

Durable portable gas grill ideal to take camping, tailgating, or just about anywhere. Features split porcelain enameled cast iron cooking grates for simplified cleaning and allows for griddle half grate. Includes Quick start push button ignition, infinite control burner valve, removable catch pan, glass-reinforced nylon frame. Larger grip lid handle and control knobs for easy grip, ergonomic side handles, and front and rear cradles. Use on table or with Portable Cart, sold separately. In addition, the fold-down side tables have been reinforced to provide a sturdier surface.

While this measurement objectively lands in the middle of the grills we tested, it tends to be plenty of room for most travel-cooking needs. If you are just grilling up the meat portion, it is enough to cook 3-4 servings; if you are cooking just for two, it is ample room to grill up both meat and veggies. The sturdy handles extend far enough away from the grill body to make it reasonable to pick up and move even while lit.

However, if you prefer the perfect fit of Weber’s disposable tin trays , you can get replacements for quite cheap. One of the major selling points of this grill is its two fold-out side tables, which are each 12.5 x 13.5 inches. They’re the perfect spot to place portable bbq a plate, condiments, and grilling tools, and I used them pretty much every time I grilled. If you like the idea of the portable cart add-on, the Traveler comes with its own cart. It has one shelf instead of two, but it does come with built-in tool hooks.

The cart is wheeled, giving backyard grillmasters the ability to move their grill around for optimal conditions. I don’t use them much anymore because I’m always testing new portable grills, but let me expand on that. The manufacturer’s warranty on all of these grills is outstanding. The warranty on the cast aluminum body and Thermoset/Thermoplastic parts is 5 years. Warranties on all other parts are for 2 years, which is more than enough time to work out any defects that might be present. Lastly, the Q3200 includes a significant feature that none of the other grills have.
