Thanks, looking forward to seeing your question and the responses you get.

Hi Jeannine
I have never cooked a turkey roll but I would suggest that to keep it from drying out definitely leave the foil on. I always cook to internal temperature, so with turkey, it is done when the internal temperature is about 80-82 degrees C. Also put the foil wrapped roll on a trivet if you have one.
Cheers Stu

Thanks Stu,I'm going to try it out today with a 1kg. See how it goes, fingers crossed. ;-)

I already had a 9kg bottle that had been floating around for a while.
You can get away with a 4.5kg bottle and if you don't like running out then maybe have 2.. So far it lasting a long time and we have used it lots.

Hi Doc, a 9kg will last you a hell of a long time, I have a 9kg for around the house and a 4kg for traveling around in the caravan, just a bit smaller to cart around .

Yes if the fittings will marry up-I saw on YouTube they sell them in the U.S with these cans

Why can't we get models with the small bottles here or at least conversion kits?

Goi to your Local Weber dealer-it might pay to bring along your weber and check that everything fits ok before purchase

Hi Dona how did you go with sourcing 2 split grill plates for your older baby q? I’m in the same situation now and would love to learn from your experience! Thanks, Sal

Hi Weber authorised dealers have a large stock of spares and if not in stock the can order for you-you can also try on Ebay but you may get an inferior product

Hi Best way to find out for sure is to go to your Weber dealer and try the larger trivet and see if the lid will close properly on the Baby Q, I doubt if it will fit though !

In one word -NO- apparently it has something to do with heat and air flow.
Too much risk of setting the BBQ on fire-suggest you may render your guarantee or warranty null and void.
There is a different size trivet and convection tray for a reason.

First time I've heard of this.The only thing I can imagine would cause a fire is if the drip tray has a lot of fat in it. Any fire needs fuel to keep it going, and the gas wouldn't feed a fire any higher than it's highest setting on the control knob. As for replacement parts, you would have to contact Weber direct.

Hi yes the parts are available from your Weber dealer,this is very unusual,perhaps a build up of grease or a loose or damaged gas hose.

Thank you both. Fire didn't start from drip tray, that's still clean, mainly because I use the hot plate 99% of the time, gas hose was a 3 months old. With pressure valve/gauge on it. BBQ was slightly dusty, but cleaned of grease the day before. Its also kept under a Weber cover in a big sealed plastic container from Bunnings. (Under our caravan, in the carport) Maybe a bunker is needed??? Thanks again. Will chase up Weber again. Beej

Garry,why would you even try when Weber will replace free of charge-my advice-give them a ring.
Aron

garry is right.....or drown it in wd40 or equivalent or maybe a degreaser... but going to weber is first option

Thanks fellas I will contact them.

Sorry Mal, my Baby Q 100 does'nt have a factory fitted thermo-I drilled a hole and fitted a unit I bought for Bunnings.Works OK for me.I find it needs to run around 200c+ when i cook pizza and scones.I just turn the knob to the lowest setting to reduce temp as required.Suggest you contact Weber for advice, after all they are the experts.

Hi Frankiss73 I have not tried the fancy cooking, I suck at it, however I love the BBQ side of it. Sorry I could not help you

There are different size trivets for each Q. If it fits then it fits. If you can close the lid, then it fits. I'm not sure what the problem is. The trays cost about a $1 each which is outrageous for foil but they do the job. You can make your own trays but it doesnt work as well. Rolled pork is cheap at the moment and a $15 roast will fit on quite nicely. Get a plastic bag of potatoes from the supermarket and put some oil in. Then put some chicken salt in and shake it about. Put the potatoes on the trivet around the meat....after the high heat period. Best potatoes I have tasted. No work.

Not worried about the money or what to cook Mark...lol, was worried about the size of the convection tray if it will affect circulation and cooking times.

I'm sorry I dont know, check with the manufacturer. Cheers.

Hiya Jude,
I haven't personally seen a lower lid, but a friend told me that if you take the rear pins out of the back of the lid, the lid can be removed and turned upside down and stored in the weber itself. I haven't tried it myself, but "if" it works it'd be a great idea.
Just remember to reattach the pins before you cook with the weber if you do try it. :)

Can't say, we have the bayonet connector hose, and connect to our 9kg bottles in the caravan. It may be a volume problem. I would have thought that the 1.5kg would at least do you for one cooking session.

I have no idea why I use a 4.5kg or 9kg bottle. If you are unsure you should check with the retailer.

Are you closing the lid, all cooking with the "Q" series is with the lid down.

We have not had that problem with the hot plate for eggs,are you closing the lid? The steak we cook on the griddle plate, the one it comes with but again you have to close the lid.Hope this helps.
