Ronny, here's a twist on your bacon, pork roast. Take a pork tenderloin, poke a hole through the middle (I use my metal knife sharpening rod) stuff in a link of sausage, then wrap the stuffed tenderloin in bacon. It is simple, flavorful and amazing. If you like spice you can stuff it with spicy sausage or you can coat the tenderloin with dry rub. Cooks quickly too as the diameter is smaller than a larger roast. Enjoy. BTW, we call it Triple Play as it is pork stuffed with pork and wrapped in pork.
I can tell you right now... I'm from West Australia and this guy is the real deal, when is comes to someone living in the bush. You can't fake it. My attempt at being bushy would be hilarious. So if this dude says it works... It's good. Kinda jealous my lifestyle doesn't and will not permit me to be a bush wookie. Australia for life xoxo
Webber do a quality duffle bag for the baby for under $50, and also they will replace any part including the hot plate if it's in its 5 year warranty and the pizo has a lifetime replacement guarantee, a very good company to deal with
Ronnie, we use BBQ mats for doing pizza. Cut 3 mats to suit your webber size, one lays over the grill the other two are for making the pizzas on. As one cooks you make the other and keep rotating them as you get a spare mat. Nice crispy bottom and, just make the mat to a size an inch short of the grill size to allow for heat convection. Cheap, easy and light weight.
You don’t need to clean the BBQ with wipes. The “tradition” with Webers is to leave it after you cook. When you next fire it up put it on full blast and let it all heat up then clean the grill with a wire brush before putting your next meal on.
A must have, grab the 2 tables that connect to the sides. They fold into the Weber under the lid when stored. I've also had a canvas bag made for mine. I've got a single piece grill plate, single flat plate, the side tables and all my utensils. It all closes under the lid.
I've had 2 of these BBQ (first one I bought in late 2004) they're the best, easy to clean,fast to cook on, small enough to be portable, big enough to feed many people. I wish weber made a two burner camping stove with the same quality and thought....
2 zones would make the baby q from a 4.5 star into a 5 star event on my book... I love my 26'' kettle because its so easy to put the fire on 1 side and have different zones and also cause its so big its easy to get the same temps every time.. I also just bought a q1000 for 120 bucks on sale!, I was looking into more portable stuff but i hate cleaning and bad design often causes it... So when i saw the deal i had to go for it, prob wont be dissapointed...
It's a great grill. Which for sure will get a place in my 4x4 setup. Just add the griddle plate for eggs, toast, pancakes etc. I use a spray can with olive oil to prevent sticking and maintain the grill. And make sure to get a cheap luggage scale. As canisters are usually calibrated it gives you some great indication on how much gas is left.
I stopped using the roasting trays and started using a few layers of heavy duty alfoil instead. Just poke some holes in them on the edges so the juices can run through.
I was admittedly sceptical about this particular BBQ at first, but since owning one and using it for it's multitude of intending cooking purposes, I can without a shadow of hesitation recommend them. They're incredibly good at cooking food and they're great quality. Would I buy another one? I'd bypass just about every other BBQ in order to buy another one!
Howdy Ronny just to let you know the igniter issue is most likely a simple one. When we took my Weber 4wding the igniter rattled loose and there is actually a battery that powers it. So if you unscrew the igniter button there should be a battery in there. Unsure if this works for your baby q we have the family q or whether you already knew there was a battery there. Hopefully this helps you if not someone else who follows this awesome channel.
Thanks for the review and helpful tip on removing the grates before traveling! I’m about to buy a Q1200 and I will definitely remove the grates before I take it on road trips
They have a fantastic warranty and I told are very good to deal with. That starter is I'm told covered by the warranty. Love my Weber a joy to use. I have a base model without the heat gage. So a little guess work and all good.
I've been thinking about one of these for a while and you convinced me. Just ordered one along with the bag a few people have mentioned in the comments and the trivett. Will pick up some other bits like the pizza stone soon as well.
I always take our baby q when we go camping. We have cooked roasts, pizzas, damper and even bread and butter pudding! I think the baby q is the best for all round camp cooking. They do such a great steak!
Hi Ronnie, just so that you know Weber have a full duffle bag for the baby Q, we bought one and its great. Thanks for the vids mate, keep up th good work. Cheers Steve
Good review on a great bit of gear we love our webber q, a great recipe we use when out camping is : Smoked lemon chicken, easy to do also, just insert a half a lemon into the cavity plenty of salt on the skin with some oil & get some gum sticks soaked in water & roast the chicken on full whack for about 20 mins, then turn it down to half, add your wet sticks & let it smoke for about an hour & quarter, its full on yum. Please share your awesome camp recipes below
do you know the terminology of what i would ask bunnings of whatever for 'a filler piece i could use to refill the smaller coleman from a large LPG bottle?'
A very popular BBQ for the caravanners and campers, I had the Baby Q as well, sold it as it just took up too much space. A good BBQ, but for me, not worth the space it takes up, and yes I'm space constrained. I rather use the Coleman gas stove , and where possible use the fold up fire pit. For me the wipes did not work, the gerney on the other hand works a treat.
ziegler and brown for me, they run hotter so need to keep an eye on the roasts and long cook things. It's a quick cook for snags, chops, steak etc. But it's a choice... What do you eat most?
Weber have a optional duffle bag for baby q only and u can get a after market stand that packs up and only adds about 50-100 mm to the height if u wish I can find out what model we have
While we love our Baby-Q I am still recovering from paying the enormous price. They are well over-priced for the material involved in constructing the unit. We have added the Weber meat thermometer to it as well and with that you will never ruin a roast. One other handy extra you can get is a solid half BBQ plate so you can do onions etc.
is the thermometer an internal one/one that can lead out to the external? my in laws stuff around with some nonsense remote one for hours on end, takes forever for them to cook a meal due to it.
The one we have has a lead attached so it is always connected and we haven't had any trouble with it. We did a quick video on it at ua-cam.com/video/iwSAowBCOwA/v-deo.html
Hey Ronny, these Baby Q's are the cat's arse. Ive had mine for nearly 2 years and it gets used at least 3 times a week. Love it to bits. But I've got the premium model which has the bigger, higher lid which is better for fitting bigger roasts in. Also has a temp gauge in lid and electronic ignite.
Mate try the baby Q bag! zips up around the entire BBQ keeps 95% of the dust out and has carry handles, also has enough room for the extra plates/trivet ect. Reasonable quality too. I normally camp oven it but if going to a national park its as simple as grabbing the entire bag and going.
Hi Ronny When do you do some tests of led lights adna led bars? How are they shining at night? I want to mount two led lamps on the roof on my Land Rover Discovery 2, but I do not know what to choose. I do not want to buy too strong lights. I just want to light up the roadside. I thought over two led bars 12" 72W each one or maybe one led bar 120-180W in the arc?
Good advice about a great product. Just remember it's not like your gas guzzling 6 burner. The little Weber is very economical in its use of gas but you have to cook with the lid closed to get the fantastic results it is capable of. But do not be tempted to buy the matching Weber plastic cart. It's junk.
i just bought the ziggy portable. It has a roll back hod that save space and all so has lock for the tray and hot when travelling these features won me over. As i only just got it can't tell if it is any batter.
I use the Baby Q all the time, at home and when travelling. Have you had your burner tube clog up? Got to clean that this weekend. Not sure what the best way to do it is. I also bought the 'Weber Q Small Frying Pan'. It's great. Eggs are perfect in it, as is that chorizo and baked bean breakfast dish in the collection of recipes that comes with the frying pan. Two pans also fit under the hood. Nice review, by the way.
gotta love the roasts they make! almost as good as home, although a few points about the webbers is.. they cant boil, i like haveing bacon and eggs as well as a hot coffee in the morning, i cant do it on the webber, a twin burner stove is awesome for that, you can make spaghetti, boil rice , have a curry and make a big stew on a twin burner stove... cant on the webber... also i wish they made them a bit more powerful, so that they dont take 15min to warm up when wanting to cook bacon and eggs in the morning, would also be helpful in making a good charred steak, is there a regulator that can be modified on them to make them a bit more powerful?
where did you get it from? i know where to get em but ima take a wild guess and say you got it from rays outdoors in cannington? FYI im from perth too. love the vids
if anyone sees this, im contemplating between this weber baby Q and the 'gasmate voyager' portable bbq, though there are ZERO reviews for the latter. any ideas?
Nice review. Appreciate that you've owned and used it for awhile before reviewing it. Not just unpacking it and reading the side of the box. good info
i agree! this is the best way to review something. unboxing is useless except for excitement stirring.
thanks Ronny,I purchased a Weber Q after watching one of your other videos a year ago.The Best Thing ever .Thank you

Ooooh I'm gonna try that with venison, cheers!!
Bought our q1000. Used it everyday on our trip to the San Juan mountains. Excellent addition to our rig! Thanks Ronny!

Came across this years old video while looking at Weber reviews. Good to see some of the footage of the old crew again.
Webber do a quality duffle bag for the baby for under $50, and also they will replace any part including the hot plate if it's in its 5 year warranty and the pizo has a lifetime replacement guarantee, a very good company to deal with
is the pizo the igniter?
Yep sure is ... same as piezo ignition on hot water services etc.
@@BarkingSpyda Good to know, ive been meaning to get mine fixed
Thanks to you Ronny I bought one , no regrets, I've put a ceramic tile in it with a few layers on tin foil and baked biscuits and pizza
The fact that you guys make room for that in your overland rigs tells me how good it is. Gonna have to try it out.
Thanks, Ronny. You could join the two grills together with steel wire so that they can't move too.
Thanks for the review. I have already decided to buy a Q1200 but your info Is great and helps confirm I’ve made the right decision , so thank you 👍
I've had my Q for about a year now and love it. Great review.

You can add a spring washer to the inside of the webber hood and tighten the handle screws up. Will fix the loosing problem
Add some Loctite to the threads to stop loosening.
What a fantastic review thanks for the heads up. With the plates shifting while travelling. Good stuff mate.

I just picked up a used baby q because of you and your cooking with a weber q video
Oh, and regarding the issue of your loose handle. Undo the screws and slip a spring washer behind each one and do them up again. Problem solved.
Couldn't agree more Ronny. Mine goes everywhere with me.

On ebay i bought an after market full flat plate and stainless side tables, set me back a bit but was well worth it... threw the grill plates away
Thanks Ronny! I have been looking for a review to pull the trigger on buying one!
You can buy bags that fully cover the Baby Q. As with everything Weber though they are quite expensive
ziegler and brown for me, they run hotter so need to keep an eye on the roasts and long cook things. It's a quick cook for snags, chops, steak etc. But it's a choice... What do you eat most?
Sick video mate I'm buying one tomorrow
Great review mate, you covered a lot of info I didn't think about. Am definitely going to get one now. Cheers
could you just twist some wire around each side of grill plates so they cant shift?
Probably could but it might damage the porcelain coating on them.
Weber have a optional duffle bag for baby q only and u can get a after market stand that packs up and only adds about 50-100 mm to the height if u wish I can find out what model we have
Did you ever consider tying the two plates together with wire? Possibly a cost effective way to prevent them moving around so much
My thoughts exactly. It's a quick effective fix.
not a bad thought but I have my doubts it will be a permanent fix but I may give that a go.
i have the webber baby Q as well, i don't have 2 seperate plates just the one plate which doesn't bounce around when on rough roads or beach.
i think it would still fall apart. could weld them to make the stable 1 piece
Easier to just take them out and carry them separately.
While we love our Baby-Q I am still recovering from paying the enormous price. They are well over-priced for the material involved in constructing the unit. We have added the Weber meat thermometer to it as well and with that you will never ruin a roast. One other handy extra you can get is a solid half BBQ plate so you can do onions etc.

Great information and so impressed by your video. Thanks bro
Great honest review. Thanks mate.
Where did you get the adapter to use that tiny gas bottle with a regulator? Mine only fits direct onto my stove not bbqs
Found one at Anaconda! Was worried my little tiny gas bottle wasn’t going to work with the new Barby! It’s called BSP to POL
i use a Australian made stainless steel marine bbq it's awesome
Nice work fella. Great tips :)
You have way too much fun man! I envy you!
Hey Ronny, these Baby Q's are the cat's arse. Ive had mine for nearly 2 years and it gets used at least 3 times a week. Love it to bits. But I've got the premium model which has the bigger, higher lid which is better for fitting bigger roasts in. Also has a temp gauge in lid and electronic ignite.

95% of the dust out and has carry handles, also has enough room for the extra

What's the internal lining of the Weber bag like? Is it easy enough to clean if any grease drips?
i hav a webber and can put the top and plate into the dishwasher to clean it
Ronny, use a little loctite thread lock on the handle next time it's loose. You probably have some for the car. Never come loose again .
Careful with that plan, some loctites can absolutely destroy some plastics, reduces them to a brittle crumbly mess.
Im between this one and the napoleon 285 pro
convection not convention

Hi Ronny
When do you do some tests of led lights adna led bars?
How are they shining at night?
I want to mount two led lamps on the roof on my Land Rover Discovery 2, but I do not know what to choose.
I do not want to buy too strong lights. I just want to light up the roadside.
I thought over two led bars 12" 72W each one
or maybe one led bar 120-180W in the arc?
Could you use charcoal brickettes if you ran out of gas?
do you can tell me, how long will be with a 20lb propane tank? how much day making barbecue every day, or how much hours?
great review style, content, love it.
Hi Ronny, would the Weber Q work for cooking on skillets and pots? Maybe it’s too hot. Wanting to know if it could replace camp stove.
I believe Weber will replace the ignition for the life of the BBQ.
Wish I'd known that, paid for the replacement on mine!
Good advice about a great product. Just remember it's not like your gas guzzling 6 burner.

Good video Ronny , and awesome bbq, just wish it packed down smaller
What's the body made of?
Is there a recipe video for his pork roast? I'd love to give it a try.
gotta love the roasts they make! almost as good as home, although a few points about the webbers is.. they cant boil, i like haveing bacon and eggs as well as a hot coffee in the morning, i cant do it on the webber, a twin burner stove is awesome for that, you can make spaghetti, boil rice , have a curry and make a big stew on a twin burner stove... cant on the webber... also i wish they made them a bit more powerful, so that they dont take 15min to warm up when wanting to cook bacon and eggs in the morning, would also be helpful in making a good charred steak, is there a regulator that can be modified on them to make them a bit more powerful?
put a little pot of water on the weber plate?
i agree about taking 10-15 mins to warm up, what a waste of gas.
Another Aussie here, Tassie,
Ronny, have you tried some locktite on the handle?
The heat will compromise the loctite the first use and possibly emit toxic fumes.
@@chenderson4969 Loctite is used on motors mate!
Ozzie Jim you’re right. Easiest way to release loctite is through heat though.
@@chenderson4969 Not only that, loctite can affect some types of plastic and make them very brittle.

i zip tied my plates with steel zip ties to stop them from moving.

I have the same grill, I love it. I bought the optional fold out side tables, as well as the stand.
I need one.
Nice review
Good review!
ConVection, Ronny, that's the convention.. :-)
Main negative is the cost
Weber will replace the pez ignition system if (when) it stops working
Great review! A proper realistic coverage of the bbq.
Weber will replace the pez ignition - give them a call.
if anyone sees this, im contemplating between this weber baby Q and the 'gasmate voyager' portable bbq, though there are ZERO reviews for the latter. any ideas?
+Jade consider the price and accessories available for each type that should narrow it down for you
The stupid thing I think with the lower end models is that they don't have an inbuilt thermometer.
only rookies need that thermometer ... keep practicing
Convection mate, lol. Scandinavian Kangaroo. 😁 Great review mate, i am going to get one. Cheers Moose in Vic.
ah tell me about it! never even stopped to think about that one :P ScandiRoo love it
