Discuss Weber Q charcoal/gas/electric grills, Pulse and Lumin electric grills, and related accessories. Other features include a thermometer built into the hood and two Q-shaped burners instead of one. The Weber Q electric grills are a little more expensive than their propane counterparts.
The portable bbq portable gas grill was invented when Weber realized that many people were moving into the city where they wouldn’t have large backyards. Typically, people moved into apartments and all they had was a balcony for outdoor space. These small portable grills make for a great substitute in limited space as an alternative to a full-size grill.
While it is incredibly easy to use, porcelain-enameled cast iron is meant to be treated with a level of respect commensurate with its cooking performance. Unlike a regular grill surface, you never want to use a wire brush, which will destroy the naturally non-stick coating. Instead, for heavy cleanings opt for a soft bristle or nylon brush. The grill surface itself weber charcoal grill also has a lot to do with the effectiveness of the Q 1200. Unlike so many other grills that are outfitted with a simple, stainless steel grate, the range of this barbecue is porcelain-enameled cast iron. While it is likely best known in its skillet form, this material is famous for heat retention and the resulting even distribution across the cook surface.
When it comes to other items such as roasts or ribs, you may find that the lid is a little too shallow and the cooking area is just a bit too small.

You will find a model in each series that has a built-in thermometer and folding side tables. The major difference between these models is that the Q1200 has a thermometer built into the grill lid. The Q1200 also comes with an electronic ignition compared to the 1000’s clicky push button. Despite its large frame, the Q 1200 only sports 189 square inches of grill space.
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.
