During the summer, I grill out most days, so this grill will get a good workout. This is the 2nd 1200 gas grill that I have had and I am extremely satisfied with its performance. Someone must have like my first one also as it was stolen. 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. But even understanding the reasons behind the weight does not benefit this grill’s portability. 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 weber charcoal grill the only thing that packs away are the side tables, which do conveniently fold up securely underneath the lid. Purchased at bjs problem is the 16 oz propane cans do not fit without forcing the regulator to the side because the can is forced sideways by the handle. I have seen this complaint in other reviews WEBER needs to get off their arse and fix this.
As one of the renowned brands, Weber Grills have been the go-to option for many users. They were not only one of the first names in outdoor cooking, but their grills have also stood the test of time. Within just a few minutes of preheating, this efficient grill is already pushing 500-degree temperatures.
The grill has the dimensions 14.5 x 27 x 16.5 inches with the lid closed and weighs only 30 pounds, making it portable enough to take it with you in your RV. The key to a good barbeque lies in the quality of the meat, the recipe, and of course, the company. How else will you get a perfectly tender yet smoky piece of steak? If you do not own a reliable and trust-worthy grill, your barbeque experience could be quite frustrating.
The grease tray in the bottom of the grill collects the grease and debris that runs out. Weber sells disposable aluminum trays that fit in this little compartment, but it’s not necessary to use them. In my opinion, it’s not much more work to clean out the tray along with the rest of the grill. If you are interested in using them, they are relatively inexpensive.
The benefit here is that it limits the amount of grease that can fall on the flame, resulting in fewer flare-ups. Cleaning is never fun, but the weber genesis 2 grills are much easier to clean than most other portable grills on the market. If you have a Phillips-head screwdriver and a can-do attitude, you’ll be able to set up the Weber Q 2200 Grill in a matter of minutes. After pulling the grill and its pieces out of the box, I attached the lid using the included pins and screwed on the grill’s handle and thermometer.
