Storage Tub That Fits A Weber Q

The Qs are plenty tough, so we just have the fabric cover for ours. Then just slide it into the storage area, tools are in a bag that slides under it. I take the gas cylinder off

Same here.

Your mid size Q offers 280 sq in of cooking surface, the smallest Q 189 sq in which most including me find quite sufficient. :) The smaller dimension Q is lighter and therefore easier to store, easier to move about. I have a larger Q220 on my deck here at the house so I have no need to move it but for camping I much prefer the smaller Q. Personal preference. ;)

FWIW that link you included in your first post is invalid. :(

I keep my Q 1200 in a Duffle Bag. A plastic Tote large enough to contain the grill was too big and wasted to much space.

Agree, a duffle bag works great if you can find the right size at the right price. I had one, put a plastic boot tray in the bottom to support the weight of the grill ... stupid cat peed on it so that's when I started using a bin instead. :W

Weber should make some sort of storage container, but all they have is a cover.

Absolutely, but for some reason Weber seems to be blind to the need. :S

I initially had a roadtrip that came with a lot more accessory options vs. the Weber Q including a nice wheeled storage bag.
Unfortunately the Roadtrip did not heat up so well.
The Weber Q works better however accessories including a storage container are lacking

Keeping the smells contained helps keeps the critters/mice away. A nice charcoal smelling storage area is sure to attract critters.

Sound Guy your container in the 2nd pic is a Q- grill specific container vs the generic container in the first pic.

No it's not, that was a generic storage tub I bought here at our local Canadian Tire store about 10 yrs ago. Unfortunately CT hasn't sold this tub for a number of years now and despite looking everywhere I can think of I've never found another.

JMO, but a bin is essential for storing a Q and keeping the greasy cooking smells out of my truck (or out of the camper for an owner who stores there). I park our Q120 on the campsite table for use but once cooled put it back in the bin and stick it at the back of the camper - out of sight, out of mind, and the bin keeps my Q clean and free of bugs. Sterilite model #18188206, sold here in Canada as a 114 litre size, in the US as a 30 gal size.

I got one like this at Walmart for mine. Allows other things to be stacked on top.

But I drilled holes in it for ventilation purposes. I Just don't like the idea of closing up the grill - seems like all kinds of things could start growing inside that tub unless there's a little fresh air circulating. Looks like this is a minority opinion - oh well !

Sorry but those containers are not air tight so stopping the grill smells is a mute point.

BALONEY :R ... I've been storing my various Qs in bins like this for years and with the lid in place greasy cooking smells are entirely contained without having to be "air tight". :B Here's one of my favourites, no longer available unfortunately, but it certainly was "form fitting" ...



And FWIW, it's "moot", not "mute". :S

I've owned my Q since 2007. I've carried it 20,000+ miles in the basement of our old fiver, then 11,000 miles in our diesel pusher belly. Now we have downsized a bit but the same Q now stores in our toy hauler. It has been used every trip we have ever made and it was/is never stored in any container or covering. I do make a point to remove the burner and grate and give it a good cleaning every month or so.
