What a great grill!

I grill a lot on a screened-in porch all year round. We've been through a few electric grills that cooked the food pretty well but they just don't last. I wanted to switch to propane and had cooked on a lot of grills that belonged to friends and family, so I understood that Weber quality is second to none. I really like the looks and features of the Q2200 and the option of portability as well as connecting the grill to a 20 lb tank. The 20 lb. tank works great as long as you open the tank valve a little slowly so the regulator doesn't restrict gas flow. The Q2200 heats and cooks flawlessly with even temperature all around the cooking surface. The temperature control holds very accurately, too. I really like the cast iron grill surface with the ceramic coating. I brush or smear a little cooking oil on it before heating up and then clean up with a Weber stainless steel bristle brush as soon as I finish cooking. It cleans up quickly when the grill is still hot. I wash the grill grates in the sink after cooking about ten times. The Q2200 cleans up easily and cooks as well as any Weber grill I've used, which sets the bar pretty high.

Great little gas grill

We have an XL Big Green Egg that we do smoking and serious grilling on but needed a gas grill for those quick and easy things like hot dogs. Living in Florida we also wanted a backup cooker in case the power went off in a hurricane. This Weber Q2200 was a great choice. It replaced the larger Weber Genesis that we had for 25 years. It is very well made and cooks evenly and is easy to keep clean. Our son has had one for several years and loves it. We find out we use it for several of the things we would have cooked on the stove. We got the griddle with it and it is great for hamburgers, bacon and things that would mess up the stove top. Just keep it clean and it will last a long time. If you have a 5 gal propane tank it will last for 40 hrs at high temperature. One tank will easily last a year with frequent cooking. The bottles about two hours. Although we don't use it for these things it we see that it would be great for tailgating, camping or apartment use. Highly recommended!

This grill is great!!

Here is feedback on this that adds a different dimension to all the 5 star reviews. I'm a single woman and don't want to carry the heavy tank. This grill is great!!! And I keep the little 16oz cans in bulk and so easy to replace.. 1 last 4-5 at least meals. Love love love

Great grill for easy cooking

My first Weber, like this one finally died an honorable death, after about 10 years of use. This new one has a few design changes, such as a two part grill surface and a battery operated igniter. I have an adapter hose and connection. (A tip) Before hooking up the adapter hose to the Grill, do this: connect the hose to the tank and slightly open the tank valve, then us an instrument such as a nail set with a small flat head and stick it gently into the other end of the hose, push in slightly to vent some propane gas out. (This will totally eliminate air pockets, which can cause improper burner performance). Then, just attach the hose to the grill and tighten it good. I then lit the grill with the igniter and left it on high for about half an hour, to see if it got up to the proper temperature. The gauge for the temperature goes up to 600F, and that is where the needle was resting. Today is labor day and I can't wait to sear a couple of good filet steaks. By the way, it also works just great with the little attached propane bottle, but it is way cheaper to cook with the large propane bottle.

Impressed so far

I've only had this for day so keep in mind. I bought this to replace a coleman road trip grill which had lasted less than 2 years before completely rusting out. I was impressed by the first impression of the body being of a casting and of a design that would shed water with the lid closed. That right there told me weber knows what they are doing. My old coleman COLLECTED water by it's design. It was very little effort to assemble the grill, I did not even need the instructions... pretty simple, very little to assemble which made it easier to deduce where everything went haha. I was skeptical of the cooking ability coming from the junky coleman, and this having no "flavor tray" or anything really separating the grill from the burner.... My first steak on the grill was wow! This thing puts out ALOT of heat. What normally took 5 minutes on first side and 4 minutes on the other for a medium rare strip on the old junker. grill.. this grill did in 3 minutes each side and I got medium WELL... holy moly!! So I am going to have to relearn cooking times and settings due to this thing being a beast in heat output, but I'm very impressed that it can do a steak to medium well in that short amount of time on a cold winter day. I'm very anxious to do burgers now, can't wait! I'll revisit the review later if things come up, but first impressions so far are that I'm very glad I splurged to get this grill. Lets hope it holds up to the test of time.

What is the world coming to?

Not sure what's going on with the negative reviews about the "assembly" that is required for this. If you own a Phillips screwdriver and understand which end of it you hold and which end goes into the screw, the "assembly" is easy. However, if you are the type that will more than likely poke your eye out with the screwdriver, then maybe cooking with open flame isn't a wise idea after all. The "assembly" consists of: 1. attaching the handle to the front of the lid using 2 Phillips head stainless steel screws and 2 spacers. You don't need a wrench, the nuts are molded into the handle. Remember, righty-tighty, lefty-loosy. Do not poke screwdriver into your eyes. Have someone standby with a phone to call 911 just in case you accidentally do. 2. attach the thermometer to the lid. It's keyed and the attachment uses a wing nut. If operating a wing nut is beyond your capabilities, seek professional help. 3. Insert two pins in the hinge points between the lid and lower section. Putting the round peg in the round hole is about as easy as it gets. Again, if you have trouble here, don't use matches or propane. 4. Insert "hairpins" in the holes on the end of the pins to keep them in place. Don't poke your eye out with the pins. Do not swallow pins. 5. Insert battery (included) and twist the top on the ignitor button. Button on battery goes into the BBQ,the flat end goes into the button. Do not eat the battery. 6. Hard part here: Remove the two piece grill top from the box and place them side by side on the BBQ. Honestly folks, it took me longer to cut up the box and put it in the recycling bin than it took to assemble this thing. If you are not at all mechanically inclined, don't own a Phillips screwdriver, and/or don't have two fingers that you can use to turn a wing nut, then you probably should either buy one pre-assembled from a local store, or hire a neighbor to do it for you. -- As for the "invisible flame" complaints, propane burns pretty clean. The flame is not invisible, it's blue and it's not really that big. If you light this thing and it gets hot, well, there ya' go. If you are expecting large yellow/red flames to erupt forth from the barbecue, you will be disappointed. These barbecues work very well. My dad has owned one for years and I've done a few tri-tips, skirt steaks, etc. with it. They heat evenly. Keeping the lid closed will help. In fact, his worked so well, he bought a second one to keep with his camper. I bought this one after years of seeing his work so well. They are fairly light and easily portable. They are also built quite well. But, seriously, they do require absolute minimal assembly. If you suspect that is beyond your capabilities, then you really need to find a local store that will assemble it for you. However, it's not difficult. If you honestly do not own a Phillips screwdriver, here, let me google that for you: https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-60-002-Standard-Phillips-Screwdriver/dp/B00009V430/ref=sr_1_6?s=power-hand-tools&ie=UTF8&qid=1536105960&sr=1-6&keywords=phillips+screwdriver

The heat is on!

This was a gift for me for Father's Day from my children. I was already eyeing it up for when I had the cash. I am 68 years old and I can say this is the best grill I've ever had. The porcelain enameled heavy cast iron grates are great to cook meat on. I followed the directions for preheating and steaks and hamburgers were seared perfectly sealing in the juices and flavor. Preherating is fast and cooking is fast and easy. The large grease catcher makes with opening at the bottom keeps the drippings and any droppings easy to clean up. Porcelain grills clean up with some elbow grease and safe oven leaner (even hot soapy water to soak in works) or the dishwasher. The thing is they do not rust and do not have to be seasoned. This is big enough for a family of four Side note the kids also gave me the cart and cover which are options .... I recommend both.. Finally the stainless steel burner is positioned perfectly and with it's hundreds of ports produces an even heating system. Don't forget ..... this is made in USA!

Great small grill

I temporarily need a smaller, lighter propane grill instead of my large 3 burner Weber. I cook out a (lot-3-4 times a week) so I need something that can stand up to a lot of use and cheaper grills didn't get good reviews on long term quality. I disagree with some of the complaints regarding this grill and want to give my two cents. First, it gets hot fast- faster than my big grill- 450 degrees in 6 minutes. It maintains 400 on medium, similar to the big one on the same setting. When I open it to turn the food and reclose the lid it goes back up to temperature in about 30 seconds. Second, there were complaints about the flame holes getting clogged. The cooking grates have a wider area that covers the burner to prevent this so I don't understand the problem. Third, while indirect cooking may be a problem for large items, if you center the food and use a low flame you can get similar results. Here are some criticisms that I do agree with: First, it does need some assembly- you cannot use it right out of the box. Second, because of the way the grate is configured you won't get the same grill marks you'd get on a larger grill. Third, the cart that matches this grill is cheap and wobbly. I wish I hadn't have bought it. I guess if you plan to move it around you'd need it but if you're going to keep I stationary I'd buy something else. Overall, I'm very happy with it and I'm glad I didn't listen to some of the negative reviews. I won't take the place of my big grill but for someone who needs a small one it's great. Update: I've used this quite a bit since I wrote the review and I would like to add that it is very efficient in the gas it uses. I can cook 10 times on a 16 oz. bottle. This equals about 2 1/2 hours of gas time used (this includes preheating which goes really fast as I mentioned before) I mostly cook on the medium setting but mixed in low for a couple of things. Another update: I've come to like this grill so much it's pretty much replaced my large one. I actually find for things that cook faster and need more intense heat like kabobs this one is better. I did hook it up to a large propane tank so I don't have to replace the bottle in the middle of cooking something- the small bottles have no gauge. I've had one instance of the flame holes getting clogged but used the paperclip trick and all was fine. This grill has been a terrific value.

I LOVE THIS GRILL ! ! ! !

I LOVE THIS GRILL ! ! ! ! I wanted a portable grill, gas for sure, and one that would get hot enough that it would cook anything I put on it. I read lots of reviews for grills and decided on this one. I am so glad I did! I am a widow and wanted a BBQ to make my food-for-one meals a little more appealing and fun to make. It definitely does that and then this evening I took my grill to my sister's house so she could make hamburgers for 7 adults. Easy to load in the trunk of my car. Think it weighs 20 pounds. I even took the portable cart since it folds up and fits so easy into my back seat. It is super easy to position the BBQ onto it and lock it into place. I bought the propane adapter hose so I could use a big bottle of propane instead of always using the "throw-away" bottles. I don't really know how to dispose of them. Those are good for cooking about 3 meals. I live on the saltwater and the materials this grill are made of will stand up to rusting action way better than most. I could not be happier with this purchase ! ! !

Convection Griller works when you use it as designed

Just got ours in the mail yesterday and couldn’t wait to give it a test. It took a little getting used to, but we were prepared for convection-intensive grilling because we did a lot of research before buying this one. Assembly - very easy. It came with the shelves already installed. The lid only needed to have two bolts pushed through and a cotter installed. The thermometer required a Phillips head screwdriver, as did the handles. The gas control knob needed only to be lined up with the groove and pushed in. The igniter switch came with a battery and took about 10 seconds to install. Everything else was simply removing packaging material. Overall, it took about 5-7 minutes, most of that time being spent fetching tools or removing packaging materials. Starting Up- screw in bottle, rotate knob to high, push igniter. Close the lid for the recommended 10-15 minutes for preheating. I actually only preheated mine for 8 minutes, because by then the thermometer was pegged at max temp (well over 600 degrees). There was no wind and it was 80 degrees today. Cooking- I made kabobs, jumbo dogs, and grilled potato halves. The kabobs were the thickest, and the potato halves were microwaved for 7 minutes to get them soft, then coated in olive oil and seasoning. As I said before, the convection took getting used to. The idea is to be gas efficient, and too cook much more like your oven, so keep the lid closed when the food is cooking except to rotate. I had the lid open for several minutes messing with my kabobs, and the temp went way down. It took 4-5 minutes to get back to BBQ temp. I learned my lesson and made only quick turns from there on out. I got exactly what I wanted: cooked kabobs, sear marks, and some slightly burned corners on just a few of the veggies. Overall took about 18 minutes for the bobs (including reheat time), 5 for the potatoes, and 4 for the dogs (but I wanted 360 grill marks, so I let em’ go for 2 more minutes. The times were important to keep, because unlike other grills, I need to develop a relationship between time cooked and temperature cooked at. This is more like baking than grilling, or slow grilling than direct grilling (only not actually slow). Direct grillera are staring at their food and constantly moving it around, trying to cook it, but not burn it. I’ve been doing that for 20 years, and it stopped appealing a long time ago. I have cooking times and temps down to a science for everything I make in the kitchen, so I want to do the same here. What this means is that I know I’ll need to do a bit of trial and error, but eventually I’ll be able to put the food on and chill while it cooks, turn when it needs to be turned, and not have to stand over a hot grill on a hot day for 30-45 minutes while I cook everyone’s food. Portability- very portable. It’s not as portable as the Coleman competitor, because that one comes with wheels. This one is larger, supposedly more gas efficient, and had much better reviews. The main issue with the Q-Series seems to be that people want the grill open while they cook, while the Coleman actually has more mechanical defect type reviews. Anyway, the Q series was easy to move around, and I just set it in a plastic folding table to cook on. Cleaning- Easy. I let the grill cook for about 1 1/2 hour before forcing myself to get up and clean it. The enameled cast iron was not as easy as some made it seem in their reviews, but after about 6-7 minutes I had then back to their shipping state of cleanliness. I didn’t like the light colored portion of the bottom of the grill, because with the grated removed you can see ugly splotches were the drippings stain the bottom of the grill. It should be expected that anything you cook with at high temperature is going to have some heat related stains, though. The main point for me was that I won’t be cooking on last weeks food every weekend. Gas efficiency- I guess we’ll see. I ordered fresh LP bottles and will publish results when they are empty, having recorded cooking times and average gas setting. I will check with the 1lb bottle disconnecting after each use, 1lb bottle always connected, and then the same with the big tanks.
