Weber Baby Q Premium (Q1200AU) Questions & Answers

Hi James, we don't recommend the use of two hotplates on any Weber Q model, as it requires adequate ventilation for the heat to circulate around the barbecue. That's why we've created the half-hotplate, not a full one. Let us know if you have any further questions.

HI Myriam, yes a 4kg is fine to use. We just have standard bottle specifications to correlate with hours of cooking time- 4.5kg = X many hours of cooking time, depending on the size of the barbecue.

Hi Yleete, thanks for your question. These instructions are all in your handbook that came with the Q.

On a Baby Q, preheat is the high position (the circle with the lightning bolt)- you light the barbecue and leave it on high for 10 minutes. If your cook requires a convection tray and trivet, ensure you put these in the barbecue for the preheat time.

The roasting setting is two notches above the half-moon circle. This gives you consistent and the optimum temp for most roasting dishes.

Let us know if you need any more assistance.

Hi Tallah, if you're planning on using the barbecue for travelling and feeding your family of 4 plus more, I would suggest going for the 2200 size. This gives you plenty of versatility in space and the amount you can cook plus options for accessories such as carts. Let us know if you need any more information.

Hi Rachel, it's 45cm across by 23cm deep for the Baby Q frame. Is that the dimensions you need or is there something else?

Hi Ross, what temperature are you currently achieving with your Baby Q? and how old is the unit?

Hi Keith, this hose may be of use for you- it's typically used for the purpose you've described: https://www.weber.com/AU/en/accessories/cooking/barbecue-accessories/3m-lp-bayonet-hose-q-spirit-genesis-summit/HR10010.html#q=hose&lang=en_AU&start=1

Hi Harold, great question. We only have the porcelain enamel, cast iron grills available for the Q range. I can understand they are a little on the heavy side however this is due to their durability and quality materials that they're made from.

We'll pass your feedback onto our product team, as we understand this is a consideration for campers.

Hi Cheryl, our Q1200 model (Baby Q premium) has a thermometer in the lid, along with the lid being higher and having an electronic igniter. You will find it at your local Weber Specialist Dealer or Weber Store :)

Hi Juliana, the differences between the two models include: a higher domed lid, thermometer in the lid and more colour options (black and red, as well as titanium).

Depending on where you're located, our Weber Store network offers ZipPay and have the premium Q range available in store. Let us know if you need a hand finding your local.

Hi Jeff, unfortunately, we can't supply parts for barbecues purchased outside Australia & NZ, as they are different components and not covered under our Australian Gas Association agreement, and therefore our warranty does not cover it. Please let us know if you need more information.

Hi Jayne, they will be a bit hotter in the first couple of uses, but this doesn't sound too out of the ordinary. What are you trying to cook?

Hi Caz, a 4kg LPG bottle will be suitable to use on your Baby Q. Is there any more information that you need clarification on?

Hi Rob, you'll want to look at the Small Frying Pan, as they Large one takes up too much of the grill.

Hi Wendy, have you cleaned the burner tube recently? It could be the sound of burning fats/debris inside the tube if it hasn't been cleaned. You can take the entire tube out and soak it in hot water every 5-6 cooks to avoid this, along with cleaning out the cookbox.

If that's not the case, it could be a gas input issue. If you're still seeing the same issues after giving it a good clean, best to give us a call on 1300 301 290 and we can go from there. Thanks!

Hi Matt, they are advertised with those bottles because they use a different gas type to us here in Australia & NZ, so they can use the smaller propane canisters on their Qs.

Hi Helen, we go by barbecue setting rather than temperature when cooking on our barbecues, so customer who have the standard model can cook in the same way without the thermometer in their lid.

You would set your barbecue up for indirect medium roasting, as per your handbook instructions. You can use the 'minute per millimetre' method to figure out cooking time- this is where you measure the thickest part of the meat and then roast for 1 minute for every millimetre of meat, or until the internal temperature reaches 73-75 degrees C.
Hope that helps!

Hi Isaac, yes it will as the body of the barbecue is the same size on both. You would have to organise a new lid through our head office, which you can call on 1300 301 290. Thanks

Hi Patrick, thanks for your question. The 4.5kg-9kg bottles are recommended sizes for efficient use on our barbecues. You can use the 2 or 3kg bottles if they have the same connection, they just don't last as long and when you reach the end of the gas, the pressure drops and the barbecue loses heat (which isn't great if it's in the middle of your cook). We recommend the 4.5-9kg bottles to ensure that you have plenty of gas to get through a great number of cooks before you have to change it over. Hope that helps clarify, and if you have any other questions, please let us know.

Hi Dan, thanks for getting in touch. The hose comes as a part of the barbecue, so you don't need to purchase it separately. If you have any other questions, please let us know.
