The Genesis E-325s is a griller’s grill, capable of a full range of grilling tasks and techniques. It’s solidly built and has four wheels for easy rolling, with two wheels having locking mechanisms to hold it in place. We liked its sizable searing zone for high-heat cooking (it fits about 20 burgers) and how well it held low temperatures for slow-roasting foods. Its built-in thermometer provided accurate readings in our tests.

Each grill was rated on setup, heat retention, heat control, size, versatility, and overall value. Our testers then offered additional insights on each grill’s strengths and weaknesses. As we tested this portable bbq over the course of two weeks, it rarely had any faults. The 513 square inches of cooking space was consistently even in heat, with some slightly hotter temperatures observed directly over the burners.

On paper, it’s a smaller version of the Classic Kettle, but in reality, the heat wasn’t there, yielding gray, unappealing food. The Go-Anywhere Charcoal follows suit with its gas counterpart; the uneven heat distribution from evenly-layered charcoal gave a mixed bag of results, from overdone to pale and unimpressive. It performs with the same quality and versatility as the analog version, but this step up comes with a digital display, a remote temperature probe, and an app. It performed on par with competitors when it came to smoke flavor in our long-smoke tests, and it left a nice char and browning in our short-smoke experiments. It didn’t fare as well in our searing tests, however, leaving burgers looking more pan-seared than grilled. We’d also like to be able to see if the ash bin requires emptying.

In return, they will stay heat up enough to help cook your food and give you picturesque grill marks. With a cooking area of 189 square inches, the Q 1200 holds about four burgers. It’s small enough to pack and transport easily, and it was pretty easy to clean. But the weight is also a product of the features that make it perform well, so we consider it a reasonable trade off.

Proper ID will be required in the form of a valid, state-issued driver’s license or state ID card. We reserve the right to limit, or refuse returns without a receipt. The Weber® Q™ is big enough for every day, but still compact enough to take down to the park for a barbecue with friends. With a Weber® Q™ barbecue and the right accessories, you can create truly epic meals outdoors. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we’ve all come to expect for small parcels, so it’s important that you’re prepared and understand what’s required of you well before delivery day.

However, it’s also one of the largest and most powerful on the market. Given its extremely sturdy construction and large cooking surface, I think it’s a worthwhile purchase for anyone who regularly grills on the go—or those looking weber genesis 2 for a simple yet capable grill for their yard. The grill was able to achieve high temperatures as well as larger models, and was even able to sear meat. Lastly, we found it easy to assemble and attach a 1-pound gas canister.

Outdoor cooks can select from nine models and several colours, including Flame Red, Midnight Black, Charcoal Grey, or Smoke Grey (available colours vary by model). Our avid grillers love the portable aspect of the Weber Q, allowing grilling at parks, poolsides, beaches, tailgate parties and more. For our urban grillers, it’s perfect for balconies or any size deck.

It retained heat well, dropping a maximum of 30 degrees after we opened it and recovering its temperature in one to two minutes. The Performer also has Original’s top and bottom damper arrangement, which allows high-heat cooking and serves as an excellent smoker in low-heat applications. Its temperature fluctuated no more than 20 degrees over six and a half hours of smoking. The hinged sides and pop-out center of the grate are nice for adding charcoal while cooking.
