It’s a similar grill with a few upgrades and is built for 16oz bottles. Please don’t get a PRO model, because it will not accept disposable LP bottles. The other common problem noted was from people who found it difficult to attach a 16oz propane cylinder, which I mentioned in the Quality section of this review.

After all, if portability is what you are after, you also want to keep things simple. The pared down design is also great for an easier weber genesis 2 grilling experience, particularly for newbies. The only other element that you have to be fastidious about cleaning is the drip pan.
With its removable and disposable catch pan, you can make clean-up easier by collecting the grease from the grease pan. If all this was not enough, Q1400 even features aluminum liners to retain heat much better than other grills. Even as a seasoned BBQ cook, I am still excited by the electronic ignition on this gas grill. If you have ever tried to manually start a fire, even on an electric grill, then you know what a hassle it can be. The 2200 is one of the most popular gas grills in the Weber product line.
If indirect cooking is necessary, Weber suggests is that you use a grill basket to create a little more distance from the flame. The grill surface is roughly 12½″ front to back and 16¾″ side to side at its widest points. It’s large enough to grill about six larger hamburger patties or around 18 regular hotdogs. Alternatively, two smaller steaks on one side and a veggie pack on the other.
Since then Weber, like many others, has outsourced manufacturing of more product lines. Things change, but we believe Weber’s commitment to quality and innovation has not. 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.
Moreover, with dimensions of 14.5 x 51.4 x 19.5 inches with the lids closed, the Q2000 grill is still relatively portable for a cookout. Similar to the Q1000, it even has 189 square inches of cooking space and has dimensions of 15.5×40.9×1.5 inches, with the lids closed. The grill is small enough to take it with you for picnics but large enough to support a small group. In fact, some of its weight can actually be forgiven due to how well constructed this gas grill is. To begin with, the main structure is made from heat resistant reinforced nylon. Then, you have the cast aluminum lid that holds up just as well.

It has enough of cooking space for a small family and its temperatures are high enough to tackle almost any kind of BBQing that you can imagine. It is also really easy to use and a lot of fun to work with as well. Speaking of weight, one of the few negative things that I do have to say about the portable bbq 2200 is regarding how heavy it is.
This pan is placed at a distance from the heating element for safety as well. For extra protection, the electric cable is about six-foot-long, and it has been grounded to prevent fires. Along with all this, the grill also includes aluminum liner for maximum heat retention. They are able to transfer heat evenly which results in more even cooking.
