Weber Q Portable Gas Grill 396001

Date Published: 5/9/06

If you like your Weber gas grill in the backyard, and you'd like to take it on the road, you should look at the Weber Q.

The Weber Q Portable Gas barbeque grill is the perfect size for a tailgate party. Measuring 18x31.5 inches with its side shelves folded, this unit is compact enough to be fully portable, yet its 15x21-inch (280-square-inch) surface makes you feel as if you are not skimping on space. The Weber Q can handle up to 15 medium hamburgers, 15 Bratwurst sausages, or 10 sirloin steaks in a single batch.

The grill is powered by a 14.1-ounce disposable LP cylinder (sold separately) and delivers 12,000 Btu of heat through a single stainless-steel burner. A single push-button ignitor switch provides the necessary spark for lighting, while a handy dial control lets you adjust the flame height from low to high.

A heavy porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grate distributes heat evenly across its surface. Two 11x12-inch plastic side shelves flip out for convenient work space or to hold any necessary supplies. A glass-reinforced nylon flame supports the drum-shaped cast-aluminum grill body and also features stay-cool side handles. The unit's domed lid has two side vents, which allow excess heat out, while maintaining an optimum cooking environment.

Other features include a slide-out bottom tray with removable drip pan and stay-cool lid plastic handle. Optional accessories include a stationary grill cart, griddle, vinyl cover, rolling duffle bag, adapter hose for refillable 20-pound LP tank, and a wide assortment of utensils and other barbeque tools.

If you are taking your movable feast on the road again, the Weber Q Portable grill provides that solid Weber construction in a compact size.
