My wife gave me my Christmas present early. She got me one of these.
I was wondering if anyone has one. If so, do you have any hints as to care of, use of or any comments? Thanks, John

I have a very similar one from Costco and I like it!

Weber Q-Grill! Will never use anything else! Had ours for 6 years now and had to replace the burner and regulator. We have Q-220.

The OP ask for opinions and comments. If the OP wants us naysayers who where dissatisfied with the grill to lie and say it worked great what's the point?
My intention was not to be mean,but to be honest.
Hopefully I could spare the OP the mistake and aggravation that I experienced.
Sometimes the truth hurts! Interestingly enough I was not the only one unhappy with the grill.

Don't let the nay sayers fool you. A lot of the effective grilling is in the method not the equipment. I have used a $39.00 table top gas grill from Wal-mart for the last several years..over 10 to be truthful. Once how I learned how it worked, I can cook anything just as good as the folk with the high priced grills. If fact I have one at home as well that I use often when just cooking for two even though I have a commercial type gas grill in my outdoor kitchen at home as well as a BGE that is more trouble than it is worth to me. Technique often out does the price or style of the equipment.

Been a good grill for me. Enjoy!

My thoughts exactly. Kind of mean.

Well said Rooney77! I have had cheap grills too, and some that worked OK but didn't fulfill our needs for size or heat. One thing I have learned though is never throw away the regulator. One we had worked perfectly with a five pound tank, but the burner failed and the grill was not good. Next one had a great platform, we loved the tiny size (Magma Grill mini) but the cheap regulator failed after a year and the supplier said "It says clearly do not use with bigger than one pound tanks." We put the older regulator on it from the last grill, and it continues onward. Lesson learned, but worth repeating.

Enjoy your new toy and produce great food for you and yours. Merry Christmas.

While I understand where you are coming from I disagree. I know that if my wife bought something for me that wasn't satisfactory (I have no actual opinion on the grill in question) she wouldn't bat an eyelash at me returning it for a superior product. The thought was made and after returning it, the end result will make both happy. Sometimes happy feel good emotions need to be put aside for facts and function, that's not always a comfortable trip. On that same note, I have purchased many things for my wife that I thought were perfect, only to learn I bought a do-fer. I had no qualms about her returning them and getting what she really wanted.

That being said, I have no experience with any of the grills mentioned. I do have experience with the internet and real world opinions being expressed. If all you want is a few pats on the back then your best bet is to not post on a public forum. I personally would most likely be happy with the present and would ignore the naysayers. But I'm also the kind of person to take something and modify it, or myself, to make it do what I want it to do if for no other reason than it makes my wife smile or makes me feel like MacGyver. Thin skin will only make you use more bandaids, it's not going to get you any further in life.

OP, that's a nice looking grill. I'd rock it and enjoy it. Learn how to use it despite it's perceived quirks. Some of the best steaks I've cooked and briskets I've smoked have been on the biggest pieces of junk, according to my friends. Learn to make lemonade when given lemons (not saying you got a lemon) and you will never be dissappointed.
