Portable Grill comparisons...
Toss up between the Weber Q- $179 and the Master Forge Stainless steel grill - $79 both at Lowes I don't mind paying for quality - but they both looked pretty nice - any experience welcome before ...

Has anyone had issues with the Weber Q? I've had the Q200 for several years and when it works it does a great job (though it is a bit heavy). When it doesn't work (which is when I'm ready to cook) it either won't light (even with a match) or the flame barely gets above the burner tube ... and no, it's not the propane tank. I've had to replace both the burner and the regulator (both free from Weber). I've done the "both valves off, turn bottle on slowly, wait 2 mins, turn grill on" thing and it helps ... sometimes ... but not always and I try to keep the burner tube clean (there may be several holes blocked but not that many).
On edit: I've also checked the "spider" vent screen thingy and it's clear.
It's to the point that I can't rely on this thing and we're going on a 3.5 week trip out west this summer and I NEED to have a grill that I can trust!
Any ideas?
Thanks,
John
If you are not happy with the Q200 you won't be happy with the Q100 either.
I have had the Baby Q (same as Q100) for at least 7 years and the burner and grill are still in great condition. Could never say that about any other grill.
You are the only one I have heard of that has had any problems like you are saying.
