Weber Q?

If all you are going to cook is "burgers and dogs", save your money. If you want to really cook steaks, chops, veggies, fish, etc, then the Weber is a good grill. I personally use a table top gas grill from Walmart and have for many years and I have no problem cooking whatever I want with the. I think is was $29.95, but I've had it and used it regualary for about 7 years.

We have had ours for 5 years and love it. I have put away our old "tin" grill and we use only this smaller Weber. First grill I have ever owned that has a good igniter. Five years and still working. The temps are pretty uniform across the the entire cooking surface. I tend to cook at the highest temperature (read steak charred on outside, red inside) and a cylinder lasts probably 1 hour?

I didn't think of any of this. I was thinking more in the line of burgers and dog's. This opens up a whole new menu :)

Thanks

I've had the Weber Q-2200 for a bit over a year now, love it. I haven't kept close count, but would guess I can cook 5 to 6 meals on the small cylinder. I have 5 of them; refill them off a 20lb tank. While discouraged by the manufacturers of the bottles, adapters are sold and there are videos on YouTube describing how to refill them.

I can't give you feedback on how they cook meat, as wife and I are vegetarians, but all things we grill on the bigger Weber at home, we find are just as easy to cook on the Q. Asparagus, bell peppers, eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms of all sizes, bread to toast, quesadillas with a range of fillings, pineapple and other fruits for deserts ... does it all!

Best portable there is for my money, and I've had a few.

Mine is still plugging along after 8 years of duty.

Side tables are the only junk piece on them. I built my own table to use for grill and to give me space to set things.

Propane bottle will depend on use. I'd say a solid 2-3 hours is what to expect. I'd recommend getting the optional hose and connecting to a larger propane tank, unless you're trying to stay minimalist.
