Portable Grill comparisons...

Weber Q Hands Down!!!
I have had this unit in s stiff wind and it still cooks evenly, and stays lite. Easy to clean and SOLID!
Only disadvantage is it's weight, I will willing pay the price for the weight and quality.

X2. Weber Q200 owner here. She's 9 years old. Built like a tank and heavy.

Bought a $30 cheapo at Walmart and got exactly what I paid for, a cheap POS that falls apart in a light breeze, I should have put the money toward my Q and been $30 off the price..Lesson Learned..

I use a Q200 and it may be the most rugged grill I have ever owned.

I bought a similar grill at Sam's Club. I sold it on Craigslist after the first season.

I also think the Baby Q is good value. If I have a dislike, it's that you can't turn the heat down low enough to slow cook.

Love our Q220. A little big but got it a great price. I agree with others, if you buy an I expensive grill you will probably not be happy with it. Travel on.

We have owned a Weber Q120 for years. Does the job for us. Only issue is the burner holes need to be cleaned occasionally.

Benefits

Cast aluminum body, will never rust.
Cast Iron grates heat up nicely and hold heat.
Grates lift out and allow access to the entire grill for a quick wipe out, no mess clean up. Few other grills do.
It just works and works well.
Replacement parts and accessories are easily found about everywhere that sells portable grills.
Reasonable price for a quality grill. Buy one of these or multiple of cheaper ones. Been there and done that. I'm happy with this one and sure it will out everything I have ever owned before.
