Weber Q200 Trash?
So I have a Weber Q200 that I bought and used for two years while we had our camper. It worked great when we did use it but we sold our whole camping rig in 2011. Last summer I tried using it at home...

This April my Q220 caught fire and pretty much destroyed itself. These are some photos that I sent to Weber:
BTW, the grill was on a wood porch when it caught fire. Burning plastic fell on the deck and could easily have torched the deck if we had not caught it in time.
When I contacted Weber, they asked me if I cleaned the regulator (nope) and always checked the external tank connections with soapy water (also nope).
They sent me a bunch of replacement parts, but long story short, I decided to just pitch the grill.
Not sure if I'll buy another Q, but I will definitely perform preventive maintenance from now on.
