A few words on the weber Q line, my 10 year old baby Q in particular.
They are built to last. Mine is a bit over 10 years old, used year round here at my house, and has had no failures.
We owned an original Q100, used it constantly both here at the house & camping for 8 years and only eventually sold it when the newer Q120 with a few more features went on sale. The Q120 is our dedicated camper grill as we now also have a larger Q220 which lives outside year 'round on the deck here at the house. All cook really well
but every one has had repeated regulator problems. :( Weber supplied replacements under warranty but they too eventually failed and because an authentic Weber regulator is so expensive I decided to put together my own system using parts readily available at our local Home Depot. A 1/2 dozen pics with part #s
start here for anyone interested. So far, no failures. :B
Those commenting that even the smallest Q is still fairly large are right ... I store mine in this
Sterilite tote which travels nicely in the back of my truck. I have considered getting a smaller Weber Go Anywhere but AFAIK the gas version isn't sold here in Canada. I've also read comments claiming that quality has deteriorated so it doesn't last or perform anywhere near as well as those from a few years ago so for now I think I'll stick with my Q120. :)
