Weber Q 2000 and 2200 Gas Grills Review

Q 2000 and 2200 are Weber’s large portable gas grills with 280 square inches of cook surface and a single 12,000 BTU stainless steel burner. These portables, originally called Baby Q, were a hit coming out of the gate. Like all Q series grills they have coated cast aluminum housing, porcelain-enameled cast iron cooking grates, electric ignition, removable grease pans and glass re-inforced nylon frames. They use disposable 14.1 or 16.4 oz. LP cyliders. Optional 20 lb. LP tank adaptor kits are available.

As with all Weber BBQ grills, intelligent design coupled with quality construction produces an attractive cooker that works great. The heavy cast aluminum housing holds and distributes heat while the cast iron grates can do a decent job of searing. In 2014 Weber split the cooking grate to accommodate an optional cast on griddle on one side.

These portables make travel manageable, but obviously limit the amount and size of what can be cooked. They may be used as a table top grill or mounted to a fold out stand with two legs, two wheels and tool hooks.

All gas Qs are “titanium” color: a silvery grey cream. The Q 2000 has peizo electric ignition and fold out side tabels. For $20 more the Q 2200 offers battery powered ignition and a lid heat indicator.
