Weber Q1200 Liquid Propane Grill, Red

The Weber name speaks for itself. Assembled grill in a short time. Then came the service issue of attaching the propane tank to the grill with the handle getting in the way. After several tries I attached it. Weber engineers/designers, please fix this you are better than that! OK that's over, I fired up the grill and put a thick ribeye steak to cook. the temperature held steady and was easy to adjust. I cook @ 450 degrees. When the steak was cooked and rested, we sliced into it, it was medium rare with pink showing. It was the best steak I have ever cooked on a portable tabletop grill...ever! I own two larger Weber grills they are still going after 25 years. This grill (despite propane attachment), is a work of art. It was easy to clean and the ceramic coated gradings were put though the dishwasher. I know I will have years of cooking on this grill, and Weber is not going anywhere, I will be able to get replacement parts for this grill when needed. No other grill Company has the expertise of Weber. Thank you for such a great product!

By far my best purchase on Amazon. This little grill is the best. It sears everything and cooks fast and easy to clean. If you don't have one, you should get one already.

Great small grill, cooks more than you think. gas last average time. cheaper to switch to 20 pound tanks with adapter

Spend the money and get it right the first time! I bought too many cheap Walmart grills that couldn’t hold a candle to this grill. It’s solid, gets hots and works wonderful.

Made in USA Everything went together no gaps or missed aligninement sturdy very pleased and would say buy it

Great grill for one or two people! Very easy to transport!

I purchased the Weber Q1200 Liquid Propane Grill in Red back in 2019, and it has been a reliable companion for my outdoor cooking adventures ever since. This portable grill offers a lot of advantages but comes with a few considerations that potential buyers should be aware of.Advantages:- Portability (5/5): The Weber Q1200 truly lives up to its reputation as a portable grill. Its compact design and foldable side tables make it easy to transport, making it ideal for picnics, camping, or tailgating.- Performance (4/5): In terms of cooking performance, this grill doesn't disappoint. It heats up quickly and cooks food evenly. I've used it for various dishes, from burgers and steaks to grilled vegetables. I even ventured into the realm of indirect grilling and tried my hand at a Tomahawk steak. The results were impressive, with that perfect sear on the outside and a juicy, mouthwatering interior. It's safe to say the Weber Q1200 can handle more than just the basics.Considerations:- Transportation (3/5): One of the drawbacks I've encountered is the challenge of finding a suitable carry bag or case for this grill. It doesn't come with one, which can be inconvenient if you need to move it frequently.- Temperature Control (4/5): While the Weber Q1200 offers good temperature control, achieving precise adjustments can be a bit tricky, especially if you're aiming for specific temperature levels for different dishes. To overcome this challenge and ensure your culinary creations are cooked to perfection, I'd recommend using a remote or wired external meat thermometer. This tool ensures accurate food temperature monitoring, eliminating guesswork for consistent, delicious results.Accessories (4/5):To enhance my experience with this grill, I invested in a custom cover and stand, both of which have been valuable additions. The cover protects the grill from the elements when not in use, while the stand provides a convenient working height. I'd like to mention that you can purchase a dedicated carry bag designed for this grill separately, which would further improve its usability, making storage and transportation even more convenient.In conclusion, the Weber Q1200 Liquid Propane Grill is a portable grill that offers excellent performance. However, potential buyers should be aware of the considerations mentioned, particularly the need for a suitable carry bag and the learning curve for precise temperature control. With the right accessories, this grill can be a fantastic addition to your outdoor cooking arsenal.I hope you find this review helpful in making an informed purchasing decision. Happy grilling!

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.
