Weber Q1200 Liquid Propane Grill, Red

I know there's already a ton of five star reviews, I will just add a few specifics I didn't notice in the many that I read (and address the lower rating reviews as well).This grill DOES take the standard 16.4 ounce tanks you can find anywhere (Coleman etc). A few reviews said it requires a special tank, this was either incorrect or the grill has since been changed to accommodate them.This grill doesn't get hot enough...if you are using it as a portable crematorium. Otherwise, it takes about ten minutes to get to 420+ degrees with lid down. My first time using it I grilled up a nearly two inch thick NY strip. Came out perfect, medium rare. Second time I grilled two of them, they came out perfect. Third time I roasted a two pound tri-tip right on the grill plate (no accessories yet). That came out perfect as well - I took pictures of all three but Amazon won't let me post pics for some reason. Trust me. Perfect.The tri tip was the test, I mostly grill steak and was worried it wouldn't handle a thick cut like that. The trick (I learned quickly), get it hot! Let the grill get to 420-450 with kid closed, sear for two minutes on each side and then kick the heat to half way or 3/4 open on the tri tip, keep an eye on it (finger tardy) for doneness. Easy to get great results with this grill.I am camping/living/traveling out of my Subaru so portability and ease of use was essential. This fits fine on the back seat, snug against the back of the passenger seat. It cools off in five minutes or so enough that I can cook up lunch and load it back into the car by the one I've finished sealing up my food for the day.The only downside is the regulator sits right up against the underside of one of the handles. I can't get my fingers under it. Minor flaw, still easy to carry but seems like it could be improved. Other flaw is the fold out trays are not designed to use as cutting boards. After three uses I have knife scars all acros one side. Not a big deal but would like to see that made if something that you can carve meat on for maximum efficiency (so I don't have to add cutting board to the grill kit). And ideally it would be 20% smaller for my needs.Otherwise it is perfect for mobile cooking, easy to clean, well designed, flawless steaks every time. Get one!

I read a copious amount of reviews for grills before purchasing for my husband’s birthday. This grill does NOT disappoint. We live in an apartment in Chicago so I needed a SMALL grill that would hold up well and cook evenly. This one does it all.Pros:1) Item arrived on time— item won’t be covered by amazon packaging though, so if you order as a gift, make sure to have a large hiding place available.2) VERY easy to assemble, came in perfect condition— we put it together in about 3 minutes.3) Because our patio is so small, I didn’t want to get a large propane tank, so I purchased the 16 oz. LP propane tanks from the store (about $7 for two of them)— they connected just fine! No issues with the threading or anything. We’ve now cooked three times at about 350-400 degrees for 20 minutes a session and everything is working great!4) The igniter has a AAA battery that it comes with and that you can replace over time. SO SMART. My husband loves that as it’s hassle-free and he doesn’t have to worry about replacing the ignition itself.5) Everything has cooked truly evenly and at the exact temperature we want.Cons:-Only downside, is when paired with the “cart” it is still pretty short. I’m 5’2” and the cart/grill are the perfect size for me... it’s pretty short for my 6’2” spouse.With all that said, the grill is fantastic. I’m so glad I bought this one and I would buy it over and over again. It’s perfect for the price point and portability. It comes with everything save the propane tank. If you get an LP you WON’T need anything else to connect it to the grill. If you get a regular size tank, you’ll need the adapter/extension. But those are fairly cheap and easy to acquire. I bought this, the cart, the propane, a set of grill tools, and a grill brush, and that’s all we needed! It’s perfect for our 9’ x 2.5’ patio.

I have only had this for a week, but I can attest to the quality and even cooking of this grill.I have been grilling for over 35 Years. I have used every type of grill out there. I can say this. If you want to Grill then get yourself a Grill like this. Taking a wood Pellet Grill up to 300+F is a bad Idea. I have had nothing but issues with many brands. But when I want to do a quick Cookout this is the ONLY grill I need. (Small Family)The grates are sturdy and heat evenly. The flame control is not bad, from Low to Medium/HighThis is a small grill, it gets very hot very quick, so needing a large turbo flame is NOT needed.I have used this grill every day this week and have had 0 issues. I used a 1lb tank, no issue. 20lb tank with hose, no issue. 3oz Tank, no issue ( I cooked hotdogs ).The only complaint that I do have is that when transporting the grill you need to pad the grates because they are ceramic coated and you don't want to chip them. But that is no reason to remove a star.

By far my best purchase on Amazon. This little grill is the best. It sears everything and cooks fast and easy to clean. If you don't have one, you should get one already.
