Are the small foldable side tables nice to have or don't get them?
How long does a 1lb bottle last?
Anything else?
We have the Weber Q 2000. The 1000 series was not large enough for us since we often cook for 4 to 6 people at a time.
It works well. The heavy grate does a wonderful job of heating evenly.
We have only had ours a couple of years, but it has held up fine so far.
The small foldable tables are very handy. I recommend them.
I can't talk about a 1 pound bottle, I hook mine to a
1 gallon (5 pound) tank with a hose.
You won't find a finer grill. We researched a lot before buying ours. In our reading, we read that the refillable tanks can have an oil in the propane that can plug up hoses/grills/regulators. I did not read that it was a problem with the Weber, but was a problem generally. To be safe, I bought this
Mr. Heater Fuel Filter and installed it on the regulator. For $10, it is peace of mind.
Like frankdamp said, it is too tall to go in the basement with the lid attached. So far, I haven't gotten tired of removing the lid to store. We will see what time does to that. I figure it is the price I pay for having a grill large enough to cook for our group.
