While it doesn’t mean that ribs and similar foods are of the table, it can make it trickier to cook them. After all, grilling on a lower temperature doesn’t have nearly the same effect. The biggest issue here would be with the fact that there is only one burner. Now, given the size of the model this isn’t too surprising, but it does create a small issue when it comes to indirect cooking. A whole chicken or even a small brisket shouldn’t be too much hard work on this grill. Thus, you do have a few more options for what you can cook with the weber q2200.
There are typically too many parts, too many tools required, and a complicated manual waiting to be translated. The warranties on the two grills are just about identical with 5 year coverage for most components. I am not going to give exact prices in here because that changes on a regular basis. However, in general terms, the combined cost of the Q2200 and the cart is about $50 more expensive than the Traveler. In my testing the Traveler is great at searing steaks and has a relatively even heating profile.
The shape of the cookbox and shroud offers better heat circulation for even tenderness in every bite of your meat. But behind that weight, you have a glass-reinforced nylon frame, supporting a cast aluminum body and lid, that cover a porcelain-enameled cast iron cook surface. All of these are heavy-duty, making the Q 1200 sturdy, durable, and likely to last a very long time. Instead of functioning on liquid propane gas cylinders like the first two models, this is an electrically-operated model. It’s heating element uses 1560-watt power to heat the available 189 square inches of cooking space. With the Q1400 model, you get an evenly heated grill to give you evenly tenderized meat every time without dealing with charcoal or propane tanks anymore.
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. 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.
While they are decent enough for their main purpose and do feel sturdy, they do make the grill a little awkward to move around. The Weber Q® 1200™ (Green) is a portable gas grill with the capacity and features that make it ideal for grilling on a tabletop, a tailgate or anywhere in between. Whether feeding two or ten, you need a portable grill with plenty of room to shine. It’s designed with a large capacity porcelain-enameled, cast-iron cooking grate, electronic ignition, built-in thermometer, two work tables and a removable catch pan. This has been made possible by its stainless steel burner, cast-aluminum lid and body, cast-iron cooking grates with porcelain enamel, and glass reinforcement on the grill’s nylon frame.
But don’t let the word “basic” discourage you from buying this model. It’s considered a staple in the Weber world and is a great portable propane grill to own. The Q 1000 features a rust resistant cast aluminum lid and body, making the grill lightweight, but still durable.
