Weber Q1200 Liquid Propane Grill (51010001)

This grill gets extremely hot and cooks fast with even heat. One of my favorite design features is the bottom of the grill does not get smoking hot, so you can set it on picnic tables and other surfaces without it damaging them from the extreme heat.
It has a few interesting quirks..it heats up very quickly..and while i like the grill bbqing surface..the wider vanes..as oppossed to thinner wire ones ...will absolutely burn bbq sauce onto the grilling surface to the point you better have something approaching a chisel to bust it off.
I lay a tin foil strip on top of the cooking surface before folding the side trays over onto the grill grates, place the cover on it and it and your done.
It heats up fast ! and that's because it has a small surface area to heat up, if its too hot then turn it down.
I was concerned about it having enough grilling surface. It does. We love it.

It has one temperature - HOT. The dial is useless for adjusting heat.

Weber Q2200 Liquid Propane Grill (54060001)

The cooking grates have a wider area that covers the burner to prevent this so I don't understand the problem.
IT is portable, has a good cooking area with no dead spots. If I were in charge of handing out grill awards, this one would have the Blue Ribbon for sure.
This grill is well thought out is compact but has a good size cooking area
A friend has the Q1000 and while it is perfect for 1-2 people, the grill area is limiting. Great job Weber, very satisfied!
Large cooking area & very sturdy. Highly recommended

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Weber Q1200 Liquid Propane Grill (51010001)

This is a solid grill, not flimsy at all, and very much comparable to a full size Weber on a smaller scale.
It is the perfect size to stow away and then use when needed on the road.
I have never owned a gas grill but as far as I can tell the performance of this grill is not compromised in any way by its small size, and it's handled everything I've thrown at it with aplomb.
Perfect size for everyday grilling. I had a neighbor who is familiar with gas grills help set it up since I was a little afraid of the gas part, and he thought it was a great little grill.
It’s a great size, pretty and simple to use and store. I love it!

Perfect size for me and it's really been great. I've had it for a year now and people ask me "did you just get this?" because it still looks like new.

Weber Q1200 Liquid Propane Grill (51010001)

I like the sturdy cast metal shell and the split grilling surface.
The porcelain-coated grill surface cleans easily.
Build quality is excellent and while I have not yet done so, it seems to be easy to disassemble for routine maintenance and comprehensive instructions are provided in the manual.
The sidetables are surprisingly sturdy and larger than I thought they would be.

The new igniter works great and the shelves are more sturdy.
You do have to be careful with flare-ups when you are opening the lid. It's sturdy. I just really like Weber products.
Bought it to stay in our 5th wheel. Sturdy but lightweight. Grates are on the heavy side.
Size is perfect for RVers. Folds up nicely, pretty sturdy.
Gift for Son and Daughter-in-law. they love it's size, sturdy construction, and portability.

Weber Q1200 Liquid Propane Grill (51010001)

Roadtrip is almost impossible to get clean after something gets burnt on to the chrome surface under the burners. We bought a griddle for one side and it worked well.
The thermostat seems to be better than my first one because it actually adjusts from around 600 degrees on high to 350 degrees on low.
One of my favorite design features is the bottom of the grill does not get smoking hot, so you can set it on picnic tables and other surfaces without it damaging them from the extreme heat.
One of my favorite features of this grill is the design of the grates.
The side folding tables are a great feature, and the thermometer is very handy as well. I will definitely buy this grill again if I am in the market ever again.

No area to which you can move the meat to have less heat. Definitely do not recommend and frustrated that I can not return.

I really like the looks and features of the Q2200 and the option of portability as well as connecting the grill to a 20 lb tank.
The added temperate gauge is also a great feature. Well built and easy to assemble. Definitely recommend.
One of the best features is the battery operated starter. It works really well. I am very pleased with this grill.
The best feature are the cast iron grills. I am able to get nice char marks on every piece of meat that I cook. Very impressed!
