Weber Q1000 lid removable?

Should you generally just high heat cook on a grill a lack of lid is fine.

Having had grills with and without lids, I can say that having a lid is a huge improvement regardless of what you are cooking. The lid keeps the heat in and makes it possible, for example, to cook a thick steak through and through evenly.

Uhhhh, just my preference, but if I cooked "a thick steak through and through", the dog would have a great dinner! :B

I prefer grills with a lid cuz it gives me options but but NOT for cooking a thick or thin steak :E

I believe it is a clevis with a keeper pin. At least my Q200 is.

X2, but I've never taken mine off. Looks like it takes 10 seconds.

I'm not sure that the pins would need the keeper if you're going to remove it anyway. If not then I would think some small brad nails would work also. They would be cheap and keeping spares would be easy.

Everyone has their method, but for me I like my steaks well seared and still half alive in the center. I always cook steaks on the grill after about 5 minutes on high, lid open.
