If your Weber grill is beginning to show its age, replacement parts can breathe new life into it at only a fraction of the cost of a new grill. Make easy and fast repairs to your Weber model with a vast assortment of the authentic parts and accessories we have in stock. You can call portable bbq the Q2200 portable if you want but there are no lid latches on the grill, it is a pain to carry and the optional folding cart is incredibly flimsy. Both grills are solidly built but with very different materials. The Traveler is sleeker than the Q series with a lower profile lid.
These fees do not add to the price of purchase but they do help keep this site alive. The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat-controlled oven. I have to say that I didn’t expect the Q 2200 to function and perform as well as it did.
By that, I mean, don’t leave it outside in the elements and expect it to look pretty in five years. The Q1200 tends to run hot, even on its lowest setting, portable bbq which is perfect for direct grilling. For those of you who live to grill with indirect heat, it isn’t done well on a unit with a single burner.
That’s not uncommon with grills but if you’re looking for pinpoint low-and-slow cooking, this might not be the product for you. Once assembled, it was time to give the Weber a go at its most important duty. At 1,300 BTUs, the Weber has a good punch of power for a “portable” grill so I expected some serious heat. The ignitor worked and the grill lit on the first attempt.
I called Weber they recommended I loosen all, the screws so I could try and get the can to fit that way…how ridiculous. Paid to much to have to go through that eventide you want to change the propane can. I wholeheartedly recommend the 1200 portable grill.
The Traveler is not much easier or more difficult to clean than your standard gas grill. There’s a drip tray to catch the worst of it and you can easily remove the grill grates to clean the inside of the firebox or hull of the grill. The grates are best taken to the sink or a hose for rinsing. The heavy duty cast iron grate is designed to work in partnership with the single burner and funnels grease away from the burner towards the center of the grill.
