Weber Q-1200 Portable Gas Grill

This portable grill is a master of design. It packs up small with the side tables folding into the grill body yet is large enough to cook up several steaks at once. It uses standard 14 or 16-ounce propane tanks (not included) and has an 189 square-inch porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grate that makes it a big, little grill. At around $200 this grill has Weber's durability and a unique design that has won several awards.

Guide Review - Weber Q-1200 Portable Grill

This small member of the Q family is an excellently constructed little gas grill that gives you plenty of space and power for the size. What makes the Q grill work is the construction. With a cast aluminum body that holds in heat and a heavy porcelain coated cast iron cooking grate to transfer heat to the food this grill cooks like a full sized unit in a portable size.

The 189 square inches of cooking space is large enough to grill several steaks at once so you won't have to grill in shifts.

Great attention to detail has been paid on this grill. In fact, Weber spent 5 years developing this line of portable grills. All in all, if you are willing to pay the nearly $200 price tag for this portable you're going to get a really good grill and at the rate they are selling, I think this is going to be a product that will be around for a while.

Because of the heavy duty construction, this is a heavy little grill. While not suited for being carried long distances this is a perfect grill for trips to the beach or park. It is also a great grill for apartment dwellers who want a real gas grill but just don't have space for one.

This model of the Q-series grill is available in a number of colors.

General Maintenance Weber Spider Stopper Guards Your Weber Gas Barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter.

d) Unlatch the Spider Stopper Guards and remove. Figure 13. Figure 13 e) Remove the manifold bracket and unscrew the two wing nuts that hold the manifold to the cooking box. Pull the manifold and valve assembly out of the burners and carefully set it down.

Reinstall the Spider Stopper Guards. Slightly rotate the Spider Stopper Guards so that the seams are in line with the Venturi fins. There should be no gaps in the seams or in the fit around the burners and valves. Figure 18. Venturi fin Check fit around burner Figure 18.

Nice little grill

Design flaw located controls below right carry handle rendering rt handle completely useless, poor planning considering weight of item.

I love that the burner Q is a tube and does not collect drippings the way other portable size grill burner plates do. The sloped bottom and drippings pan prevents drippings from pooling and makes clean up easy.
