This model also has a Grill Out handle light, which illuminates your grill for nighttime cooking. This grill is the only that can be bought as a natural gas grill model instead of a propane gas grill only. It can also be hooked up to a 20-pound propane tank. The Weber Q portable gas grill was invented when Weber realized that many people were moving into the city where they wouldn’t have large backyards.
The other common problem noted was from people who found it difficult to attach a 16oz propane cylinder, which I mentioned in the Quality section of this review. I’ve read several accounts from owners stating that the grill runs hot regardless of the burner control setting. In contrast, others say the regulator is bad right out of the box. I am not technical enough to know if these problems stem from the same issue, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they are. If you find that the portable bbq1200 is running hot on the first run, give it some time before assuming there’s a problem. The manual leads me to believe that it’s normal for the grill to run hot for its first few uses.
I often sell a grill after I’ve finished my reviews, but these two grills I keep for the day that I don’t have to review grills anymore. Maybe weber charcoal grill I’ll get my own RV with the perfect-sized cupboard that I can stow one in. Perhaps the other will take up permanent residence on my balcony.
If you can believe it, I gathered over 3100 reviews and found that over 94% of Weber Q 1200 reviews were positive. Only 4% were negative, and the other 3% were lukewarm. Overall, the Weber q1200 is a quality-made product, but there are three things to watch.
In 2014 Weber split the cooking grate to accomodate an optonal cast iron griddle on one side. With an MSRP of $269, the Weber Q 2200 Gas Grill is definitely one of the more expensive portable gas grills you can buy. However, it’s also one of the largest and most powerful on the market.
