Weber Portable Grill Q200

Weber portable gas grill q 200 model 396002 is a certain must have addition to all grill lovers. Much larger than the 100 series of weber portable gas grill, it has an area of 280 square inches of area for you to cook and grill food and a 18.6 x 31.7 x 26 inch, it is certainly designed for mobility and family cooking. But do not overlook on the capbility of weber q 200. With an output of over 12000 BTU per hour of gas power  (compared that to coleman's similar portable grill), cast aluminium body and lid and a stainless steel burner, it is indeed a compact mid sized portable grill with powerful output.

One addition to the weber portable grill q 200 is that it has an installed folding trays to place your pre grilled or grilled food on it which is easily installed. Keeps the area clean and neat.

Assembling the grill is indeed a breeze. With just attaching the handles of the grill with 2 screws provided in the package, inserting and securing the hinge pins with push clups and placing the cooking grid over the burner unit, the installlation is done.

Standard cooking tests have been done to italian sausages patties, terriyaki steaks and bonless pork chops. Every single food that have been cooked are are really of the highest quality because of the variable tuning of heats and the superior grate that contributes to that perfect taste of what grilled food should taste like and giving the good a really good look as well.

For transportation for the grill from point A to point B, you certainly do not have to worry because of the the cast iron element and of a light weight of 45 pounds (slightly heavier than the q 100 series) installed into the grill to make it super tough to withstand bumps during the journey.

You might be wondering are there any flaws to this seemingly dream portable grill. Yes there is. First, paying over $190 for a portable grill is indeed expensive compared to conventional grills of maybe half the price of the weber q 200. But do not forget, these grills have standard grilling capability and normally produced grilled effects for any kind of food or meat unlike weber q 200 where you can easily vary how hot you want the fire to be and the superior mechanism installed in the weber q 200 to further enhance the grilled food taste and outlook. The cheaper grills durability too are inferior to that of the q 200. So why not get one that produces results everytime and can last longer?

Also one thing is that the weber q 200 accepts only 14 oz or 16 oz propane gas cylinders which means you can grill for a shorter time. But this have been solved if you are willing to spend a few more bucks to buy the weber cable to connect the grill with a traditional 20 lb propane gas tank which allows you to grill all night long!

Lastly of course, after assemblying the q 200, the main worry is the starting up. But surprise surprise. With the regulator electronic knob turned and pushing the ignitor, you are ready to cook!

To quickly start you from being an amateur griller to a professional griller, weber have provided a complete recipe book to get you started with minimal fuss. But unlike other experiments, this experiment will only give you one result, Success all the time!

With a limited 5 year warranty, it is quite unncessary as many reviewers who have bought the weber q 200 portable gas grill are still happily using it without any problems or replacement.

A reviewer by the name of Greg Montegory says that being a charcoal grill guy, he has never seen a gas grill which performs the same capability as that of the charcoal grill and weber q 200 which he have bought on december 2008 has performed that and he grilled all kinds of good now ranging from potato planks, chicken breast, pork chops, pizza to polenta, pinwheel skirt steaks, garlic bread, eggplant, and beef skewers and he is now experimenting on more exotic dishes on it!
