Weber Traveler vs Weber Q: Head to Head Review!

However, its larger capacity increases its dimensions to 55.5 x 50.2 x 30 inches, which reduces its portability. To counter this, the grill comes with an included heavy-duty cart that can help you wheel out the grill from its storage space. Furthermore, Weber designed this grill to handle larger cooking capacity along with being portable. It has a cooking space of 280 square inches and its grills are split into two, allowing you to swap them for a griddle accessory.

While it doesn’t mean that ribs and similar foods are of the table, it can make it trickier to cook them. After all, grilling on a lower temperature doesn’t have nearly the same effect. The biggest issue here would be with the fact that there is only one burner. Now, given the size of the model this isn’t too surprising, but it does create a small issue when it comes to indirect cooking. A whole chicken or even a small brisket shouldn’t be too much hard work on this grill. Thus, you do have a few more options for what you can cook with the portable bbq2200.

These include stainless steel burner, cast-aluminum body, cast-iron grates enameled with porcelain, and a strong nylon frame reinforced with glass. Apart from this, Q2400 has a stainless steel body, a glass-reinforced nylon frame, cast-iron grates, and cast-Aluminum lid and body. These features offer longer life, rust-prevention, and lightweight, about 42 pounds. With dimensions of 14.5 x 31.5 x 19.5 inches, this model is still easy to carry for its size. Such that, you do not have to worry over gas cylinders or charcoals anymore. It uses 1560-watts of power for its heating element and can heat up to 280 square inches of cooking space in no time.

This grill product is available for local in-store pickup only. The only real difference is that the 2200 is a bit bigger and it has a hood thermometer. However, what I have seen of the 2200 makes it a good investment for you.

While they are decent enough for their main purpose and do feel sturdy, they do make the grill a little awkward to move around. The Weber Q® 1200™ (Green) is a portable gas grill with the capacity and features that make it ideal for grilling on a tabletop, a tailgate or anywhere in between. Whether feeding two or ten, you need a portable grill with plenty of room to shine. It’s designed with a large capacity porcelain-enameled, cast-iron cooking grate, electronic ignition, built-in thermometer, two work tables and a removable catch pan. This has been made possible by its stainless steel burner, cast-aluminum lid and body, cast-iron cooking grates with porcelain enamel, and glass reinforcement on the grill’s nylon frame.

The Char Q was built on the 200 frame so it was a large portable charcoal grill and with the price of $150 it proved to be something not worth it for consumers. The Char Q was released in 2008 and Weber ended production in 2011. A privately-owned American brand, Weber-Stephen Products LLC, was founded in 1952 by George A. Stephen when he invented the first kettle grill.

It has one shelf instead of two, but it does come with built-in tool hooks. So, in terms of cooking capacity, if you want to be able to cook more burgers at a time, opt for the Q2200. However, this extra cooking capacity obviously means that the Q2200 is the larger and heavier of the two. Even though these are smaller grills, Weber still made sure that there was some shelf space with two fold-out shelves on both grills. You can have a plate for burgers when they are done sitting on one shelf. You can have a stack of cheese slices on the other shelf too.

Instead of just ordering a pizza, he and his coworkers decided to have a parking lot cookout at lunchtime, and I offered to let them use the Weber to test its portability. He packed up the grill in the bed of his truck, and while he was surprised at its weight—which is more than 40 pounds—he really liked that it felt sturdy and durable. Using the grill, he was able to cook easily for himself and four coworkers, and they all agreed that the burgers and hot dogs came out great. One of the major selling points of this grill is its two fold-out side tables, which are each 12.5 x 13.5 inches. They’re the perfect spot to place a plate, condiments, and grilling tools, and I used them pretty much every time I grilled.
