[Appliances] Weber Q GrillBeen using a small Weber Smokey Joe to barbecue in the park but thinking of getting a Weber Q 1200 for the park for the summer. I'd use the small tanks with it.
Any thoughts. Just don't want to deal with the hassle of charcoal at the park anymore. I know it's early but I'm thinking forward to spring and summer. Had enough of winter already. |

Just picked up a Q2200 the other week...
Haven't used it yet - have a Broil King at home; it (the weber Q) is for the RV, and I don't pick it up for about 6 weeks.
The Weber Q is well reviewed; and seems solidly built. |

Re: [Appliances] Weber Q GrillCharcoal > gas. Use hardwood charcoal, not briquettes. Add some real wood in the mix for smoke and you'll never think about gas again. |

Have seen it in person? When I saw it, it was much smaller than expected. I have a Cuisinart CGG-200 and have been extremely happy with it. Larger and same price range. |

No argument about charcoal being more flavour... but. For convenience - gas is the way to go... Plus some day parks no longer allow charcoal, due to morons just dumping hot coals on the ground or putting them in the garbage. |

Don't know the numbers but I have a BabyQ and absolutely LOVE it!
I don't know if the new ones do, but mine has a cast iron grate which is excellent. |

I also have a babyQ and love it. i have a genesis, a babyQ and charcoal and in a zombie apocolypse I'd give up the babyQ last. I can fire it up for a couple or 3 large pork chops sear it on the cast iron and be done in like 15 minutes start to finish. with a veggie on the side. ALso it's the best planking grill I have, because it's like a (sealed) clamshell. I love it. |
