    I noticed after about three years of heavy use I could no longer hit seat temps of 550. I thought it was the small propane tank, converted to a 20lb tank. Still was hitting only 500. Cleaned the grill, took special care in the manifold and noticed the flame was yellow. I looked at the air inlet, and it was dirty. From years of grease smoke, the mesh had become covered in dirt and grease and was dark. I cleaned it with an old toothbrush and all purpose cleaner. Dried it with paper towels, flames were blue. Grill hits 575 after 17 minutes. Just thought I’d share.

      Fire Escape Griller did you try cleaning like this guy suggested? I don’t use my q1200 enough for it to be so dirty, but I have to think that cleaning it this way will fix the problem. The q1200 is too simple a grill to have any complex issues.

      When you say air inlet, where is that? Where the heating element connects to the manifold?

      @jonathanturton 4 роки тому +3

      I've got a 2200 and cleaning the inside of the lid makes a real difference - as it blackens, less heat reflects back and therefore it struggles to hit the high notes (though very rarely do i need to cook anything >400)

    I bought my Q1200 (in green, like yours) after watching your videos. The grilled whole chicken recipe that you did has become legendary in my family. Thank you for all the great videos and recipes!!! The grills are easy to take apart and clean up. Mine still looks new after a year of use.

    Hi!
    Thanks for the excellent review. I've had my Q1200 for almost 5 years now with no issues. I love it! Just wanted to let you know that was able to take out the smoke stains on the cover! Just bring the temperature up to almost 500 degrees and the stains should be easily removed with a damp microfiber cloth. The stains should come right off! Give it a try!
    Take care and thanks for all your videos!

    Loved the review! I picked up my Q 2000 (used) last summer after I watched just a few of your videos, I had to have one even though I had a Genesis on the patio. You just cant beat the functionality of this smaller gas grill. My Q has become the Go-To for steaks and I have since developed an excellent sense of touch-for-temp on steaks using this grill that has no thermometer.

    I got a Weber Q1200 on ebay that the guy had only used twice for $100.00. He also threw in the cart brand new in the box. And it was in my favorite color, blue. Love this grill. I usually grill using charcoal and I own the Smokey Joe, Jumbo Joe, and the 22" Performer. This is great for a quick cook. Never had any issues with it and ended up buying a 20 pound propane tank which seemed to last forever. Glad I picked one up and great video as always.

    Grill Hack!..... Especially to those buying a new Weber Q, if you line the inside lid with foil, that will keep it looking new and then just change it out as needed. Now, I like grilling on a flat surface for things as you covered such as eggs bacon pancakes and onions and peppers. So I ordered the BlackStone tailgater. I just received it so I’m not going to open it and immediately send it back due to your review showing the flat griddle accessory. I’m very pleased that I can keep my new Weber Q 1200 in (Orange) with the cart. The first thing I will do after opening and assembling it will be lining the inside lid for the two reasons that I mentioned. Thanks so much for all you informational videos. I’m always looking forward for your next video.

    • @GallaghersGrub
      @GallaghersGrub  6 років тому

      I like grilling on the flat-top too. Breakfast items like you mention and burgers. Good hack with the foil. I'm taking a short break from video-making, but I'll be back. Thanks for watching, Latada.

    Nice review. I've had my Weber Q 1200 for about 2 years now and I still love it. I bought mine to keep on my boat and it stows away nicely in a storage bin below the deck, and unlike the super expensive marine grills, it gives me excellent temperature control. I got the black one, so it doesn't show the discoloration so bad after long term use. I love my little Weber Q and highly recommend it. I enjoy your channel and your videos...you've inspired many great meals on the boat !

    I have had a q220 for, what..., 6 years now. All parts are original other than the split grates I ordered. When I grill with gas this is my go to grill. It has outlasted 3 standard gas grills I owned previously (not Webers). I am retired for 3 years now and grill a lot! This grill might outlast me! No rust, no broken parts. This is my go to grill for sweet corn grilled in the husk. I grill a dozen ears at a time, cut the corn off the cob and freeze! Oh my god, so good! I still have enough for 8-10 meals in the freezer (freeze in bags flattened. Keeps a lot of corn in a small space). Anyways, this has been a great grill. Thanks for your review on your model.

    I bought a used Q2000 with a cart for $50. After a few years, I replaced both the grate and the burner. In all, I had it about six years. Totally awesome. Made roasted leg of lamb, bread, you name it. It was just a bit too big to move when I sold the house, so I sold it to a grateful neighbor.
    Settled into a new place, and I am definitely getting this one. The 1000 isn't domed enough for some of the things I want to cook.

I am planing g to buy a Q3200 for my deck at my seasonal RV. It comes with a cart attached. While it uses a 20 pound, I will hack that right out of the box the same as my 1200. The Q grills cook so even and get very hot quick.

    Great video! I never realized the LP version had a higher domed lid. I owned the electric version for 10 years until the electric element broke. I loved this thing because I live in an urban area so charcoal smell would loft over to my neighbors. Originally we owned a large kettle version of Weber’s Black Charcoal grill. That thing lasted over 10 yrs too. The issue with the electric was the dome wasn’t as high. I did cook 4 pound leg of lamb on medium for 3 hours in December and it came out so tender. I did use some bourbon soaked chips in it too but it’s a bit tricky with electric. Weber does sell or used to a nice grill platter I use for veggies. Thanks for this info about the gas because I believe I will go this route!

    • @GallaghersGrub
      @GallaghersGrub  4 роки тому +1

      The Q1200 and the Q2200 are both great ways to go because you get the domed lid. The 1200 is smaller (good for a couple). The 2200 is called the family Q. One nice thing about the 1200 is the great colors you can choose from. The 2200 only comes in one color.

  • @stephanarts3803
    @stephanarts3803 5 років тому

    I have the q100 for 8 years now. And I can agree with everything you say, which holds true after 8 years as well. Except for your conclusion about the temperature gauge. After 8 years the maximum temperature drops down even more then what you've noticed, and it becomes noticeable when grilling too. My conclusion is that this is caused by the q100/1000/1200 not having flavorizer bars and occasional grease drips on the grill tube can't be prevented, clogging up the holes, preventing the gas flow making the flames smaller even at full power.
    I am not sure if a thorough cleaning would fix this or if I would need to buy a new tube. Other that that, it has served me well for 8 years.

    Thanks for the review. I'm looking at picking up a unit for my terrace here in Seoul, South Korea. I've seen comments regarding the robustness of the barbecue, and it being totally fine uncovered year round. My only concern here is extreme temperatures with nearly 50 deg C up and down (-15C / 5F to 35C / 95F). Would a 160z (1 pound / 450g) canister be okay in these conditions when not in use? I'd also like to purchase a cover, so as to protect the bbq from the elements.

    • @GallaghersGrub
      @GallaghersGrub  4 роки тому

      The Q is the perfect grill for a terrace. I never cover mine and have had no issues even in snow or rain. It still lights with one push of the button after 3.5 years. I'm not sure about the canister. I have had no problems, but I typically use the 20-lb tanks. Check with the manufacturer. They can tell you more. You will not regret getting this grill. The only question is which color?

      When I got mine I didn't have a stand. I found a cheap crappy grill for free locally and removed the grill box and attached wood to the top and used the legs for my grill stand. I added some wood and hooks to the sides for my accessories. overall I like it and it is a little higher than the normal height of the stands.
      The ONLY think I am not too fond of with the Qs is the side shelves. They serve their purpose but sometimes a little too flimsey especially if you are out and about and the ground isn't perfectly flat. I use the shelves on the salvaged legs and they are much more stable for home cooking. It's easy to pop off the shelves that come with the Q so they don't get in the way!

    Nice video, are you still getting to use your Q1200 since you move? The roasting rack and the foil shields are still available in Europe, I have just stocked up on some of the latter for the new season even though I have some left over from last year. It's worth mentioning the rotisserie for the Q1200. It's great for chickens and small/medium roasts but can't handle the accessories that Weber sell to work with their other rotisseries with the exception of the skewer/kebab set (but only using the short skewers).
    I was thinking about your comments about the thermometer. Have you tried using a clean grill brush to brush across the burner? I found with mine the holes in the burner close up with a little rust. This is easy to remove with a grill brush but make sure it hasn't been used to clean the cooking grate. If it doesn't improve you could try replacing the thermometer or using an ambient temperature to check how the grill is performing.

    Nice video. I own an older Weber Q model 200. Came with a different style cart where the 20lb tank sits on the cart under the grill and it came with the adapter hose and cover as well. Doesn't have a split grate like the newer models. Overall it served me well over the years. Like you I leave it out exposed to the elements with the Weber cover over it. Two faults with it: 1 - The burner does not have a shield over it and over it appears to get clogged with grease? and/or debris and does not light all the way around until it gets hot then all the little holes ignite. 2 - The dedicated Weber cover is not that good. The back portion that sits over the lid is made of a mesh fabric. Why mesh? The grill sits outside and the cover is supposed to protect it from the rain, snow, whatever. Mesh does not protect it. Bad design Weber. The good, still lights with one push of the igniter (partially as explained above). Overall I would definitely buy another one and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a smaller portable type grill. Weber is still the best in gas grills!

    • @GallaghersGrub
      @GallaghersGrub  5 років тому

      Yes, I highly recommend this grill. I think the domed lid makes it better than the portable Coleman grill. I don't bother covering grills anymore. Bought a cover a long time ago for an old Weber Genesis and never used it. I feel like they just trap the moisture inside with the grill. And they're kind of a pain to put on and take off all the time.

      @@AZTLANSOLDIER13 There is an attachment I bought on Amazon for under $10. Haven't used it didnt want to lug a big tank camping. I thought pressure might be the problem but, now I'm pretty sure it's the way it works. I may go ahead and spring for the griddle that you can swap out with one of the grills.

    Got the black one. Wanted orange or blue, but didn't want to wait for shipping. Very hardy. Ive beat it up and it keeps on ticking!

      Weber makes very robust products. My Q is going very strong and I've got a 15 year old Weber Kettle that works great. Cheers Fenrir Fire!

    Great review...how long does the little bottle of propane last?

    • @GallaghersGrub
      @GallaghersGrub  5 років тому

      The little one pound tanks don't last very long. Maybe 3-4 hours of nonstop cooking. If you're going on a camping trip, I would recommend bringing two bottles. If you're grilling at home, the 20lb tanks seem to last forever.

    I had mine for two years and it stopped working. I guess it’s the regulator valve. Did I get a lemon? It is covered under warranty but I have to wait a week and then install it - I had friends coming over to cook out. I’m definitely disappointed.

    I bought 4 portable Weber Go Anywhere Gas Grills a few years ago for a total of $200 and 3 of the Grills are still new.

      I've not tried the Go Anywhere grill, but it seems pretty light and portable. Weber makes great products, so I'm sure they last. Cheers rhino62!
