For a portable gas grill, it can be quite heavy, making it difficult to lug around, particularly on its own. First things first, let’s talk about the design of this portable grill. I quite like it – its compact size means that it can be set up virtually anywhere.

It has enough of cooking space for a small family and its temperatures are high enough to tackle almost any kind of BBQing that you can imagine. It is also really easy to use and a lot of fun to work with as well. Speaking of weight, one of the few negative things that I do have to say about the Weber Q 2200 is regarding how heavy it is.
Works with 2014 weber q 1000-series and Weber q 2000-series grills Only. Hook and loop strap keep grill in Place on stand in transport mode. The Q2200 and Traveler are the perfect size for grilling for 5-6 people. The Q1200 is the perfect size for grilling for 2-4 people. There are five different Q grills with different sizes, prices and features so making blanket comparisons to the Traveler is not straight forward. Let’s take a look at the table that I put together below that compares the base features of size and features before we talk about the big picture.
You can set up or collapse the grill with one hand while you are holding a beer in another. The grill has a red rubber latch to keep the legs closed and a retractable lid latch that holds the lid in place during transport. 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.
If you are looking for a Weber grill that will accommodate food for more people, then look no further than Q2000. It combines some of the best features to give you the best possible grill for your BBQ experience. To start with, it has the same construction as the previous models. These include stainless steel burner, cast-aluminum body, cast-iron grates enameled with porcelain, and a strong nylon frame reinforced with glass. Speaking of surface size, at 320 square inches of grilling space, this has more than enough capacity for any grilling situation I find myself in.
A single, U-shaped burner puts out 8,500 BTU to efficiently heat the porcelain-enameled, cast-iron grill surface. Although it tops our list of portable grills, the 31-pound, 3.2 cubic-foot frame of the Q 1200 is best suited to your tailgate, apartment patio, or as part of your RV setup. Weber Q3200 grill offers the largest cooking space in the whole series. With 393 square inches of cooking space, you can cook much more at the same time. However, its larger capacity increases its dimensions to 55.5 x 50.2 x 30 inches, which reduces its portability. To counter this, the grill comes with an included heavy-duty cart that can help you wheel out the grill from its storage space.
Like the Q1000, it is a propane gas portable grill, but it has a few upgrades. It currently available in 8 different colors and has a variety of accessories available separately. It’s available at retailers for a slightly higher price tag than grills of a similar size. Moreover, the cart contains a handy storage space for your tools with three hooks. It even features two large folding side tables that have been reinforced with glass for extra protection.
Throughout my testing, I was easily able to achieve temperatures of 450 to 500 degrees with this portable grill, which was enough for my needs. However, if you like to cook with weber genesis 2 really high temperatures—I’m talking over 500 degrees—you might have trouble getting there with only one burner. That did the trick, and the pan slid into place easily.
The paint is covered for two years as long as it’s not normal fading or discoloration. Everything else (I’m assuming fasteners, hardware, and thermometer) weber charcoal grill is protected by warranty for two years. Moreover, you even get a sliding removable catch pan to collect excess grease from the slanted grease plate.
