Weber Q1200 Liquid Propane Grill, Red

Previously I left negative comments on this product. When, in fact, the problem was user error - not the grill sent to me error. This grill is really great!

Absolutely perfect-great size & assembles in 20 minutes. Typical Weber quality-lights immediately & cooks like a dream-Easily cooks for 1-4 people

For a small portable grill this is the best I have used! Thanks to the cast iron construction and the single oval burner, heating is even and controllable. It is perfect for 1 or 2 people. Thanks to the uncluttered bottom it is very easy to clean.

I was overwhelmed when it came in pieces. I’m a 78 year-old grandma and not the most mechanically inclined person. However, when everybody was too busy to put it together, I decided to try it. There are online instructions, which made it very simple. It’s together and working fine.

Just the right size for two people. Perfect for camping. Lights easily and nice even heat. Works great with a 11” Lodge square cast iron skillet.

Easy set up, easy to clean. Great results every time. Fits in my small outdoor table. I got the Weber bbq brush to clean and it works great. I also got an adapter hose to hook up to my larger refillable propane tank. My summer just got 100% better. Thanks Weber!

This grill is great. Just as advertised. There is nothing that I don't like about this grill, except the price! But you do get what you pay for and this grill is great.

After reading so many glowing reviews, I purchased the Weber Q1200 to replace another brand of a small, portable gas grill. I wanted something small for our 3-person family that would heat up, maintains its temp, and grill food in a predictable, effective way. The Q1200 exceeded my expectations in most regards, with two issues.I purchased a "like new" in original, damaged packaging to save a few bucks. The box arrived kind of beat up, but other than a few scuffs on the frame of the grill, it was all as expected. The grill had all its parts, manual, and was well wrapped.The grill looks great and it came 95% assembled. You have to put in the hinge pins, screw on the handle, and put the battery into the ignition button before installing it, but that's it as far as an assembly. The directions to do this stuff are pretty self-explanatory, except for how to put the ignition button in.The ignition button should repetitively click as you depress it. It will do so if you've installed the included AA battery correctly and it's making contact. This produces a spark that ignites the gas when it's turned on. Alternatively, you can light the grill with a lighter if the button is not working.The issue I had with the ignition button was that it wouldn't stay locked into place. I didn't want to break it, so I contacted Weber about this issue and they sent me directions for how to install an ignition switch (the whole thing...) and the button. These directions were NOT in the Grill Owner's Guide, which they should be! The directions that were sent in an email after contacting Weber weren't great, but I did see what I needed to check. There are two retaining clips that should click when you put the button in, locking it into place. Other than the ignition switch, putting it together went smoothly.The initial grill use went as expected. I attached a large tank with a propane adapter hose (not included) that I'd used with my other grill. I made sure I had a full tank and followed the directions for the first use.I turned on the gas, then turned the dial on the grill's right side to the highest setting, and held down the ignition button until the grill ignited - which took 1-2 seconds. I closed the lid and preheated the grill for 15 minutes. **There is a notation in the manual that you should expect the grill to run hot for the first 2-3 uses, and I found that to be the case.Per the included recommendations, I cooked 1" thick NY strip steaks for 4 minutes on each side to achieve medium-rare. They came out perfectly! I used tongs to turn them over one time and kept the lid closed to maintain the heat. Excellent results! The steaks were cooked to perfection with great-looking grill marks, and there was no "gas" taste to the food; something I hated about our previous grill.Cleaning up the grill was as with most. The disposable drip pan caught all the drips and the grill plates were coated and needed some soaking before I used a kitchen scrubber (plastic teeth) to clean off the oily residue from cooking the meat. After some effort, the grill plates were clean and replaced into the grill for the next use.NOTE: Disposable drip pans can be used or you can wrap the holder in foil to catch drips.I am pleased with this grill. Its build quality is very good, and while it's a bit expensive, it grills very well and is just the right size for a small family or those who are looking for a grill to take camping or tailgating. 14-16 ounce cylinders work with this grill or you can do what I did and use a propane adapter hose and a larger tank.
