Only BBQ you'll ever need
This is perfect for me and my wife. Plenty of attachments and also has a great design and looks great sitting out on the balcony. We can also take it with us when we go camping or to the park. It heats pretty evenly and is also is pretty easy to clean.

Amazing
Best thing I've ever bought! In summer I use it at least once a day, so much easier than cooking in the kitchen, and uses hardly any gas. Took about 3-4 months to use up a full size bottle with daily use. Don't need to use the branded drip trays...just line the included one with foil, very easy to clean. Definitely worth getting this premium model with the taller lid, as it's easier to fit a roast.

Outstanding Build Quality
Built to last. Mine survived a 3 foot grease fire. Totally my fault when i forgot to clean it after a previous session where I cooked enough food for 30 people on it.
The gas tubing, wiring, knobs and lighter still work as well as the first time I used it. The plastic parts did not melt or warp. The grease tray even survived - the heart of the first was actually under the grill, but it didn't damage the gas tubes - they are now black, but work perfectly, with no holes or brittleness.
We use it on a weekly basis, twice a week or more thro...Read more
ugh Summer. We use it at home and also travel with it. It's small, light and easy to carry. When the weather is too poor, or it's too dark for the big BBQ, this one easily fits on the balcony table. 2KG gas bottle on it lasts ages. It must be close to 3 months now, since the last refill. Reaches cooking heat in 5 to 10 minutes - for chicken and sausages. It gets hot enough to sear steak, but it will take longer to reach that heat. Even heating across the plate. The grills are great quality. Easily the best gas BBQ I have ever used.1 comment

It's ok, really its just the Thermomix of BBQ's
Ok, i might fly in the face of many WeberQ fanboys here, but I'm going to remain factual.
Pros: Portable, Gets Very Hot, Roasts as well as BBQ, Uses little LPG.
Cons: Long Pre Heat Time, Lid will Stain in a short time, Is a total hassle to clean! PRICE!!!!
Firstly, when you purchase a Weber, its like buying an iPhone or a Thermomix, you are not just buying a BBQ, you are buying into their Eco System of products, cleaners and accessories. You will need to buy extras on day 1.
Secondly, it is a very very hard product to keep clean and I'm n...Read more

Great little barby - use it all the time
I bought this BBQ with intention of just having something dedicated for camping, but its so good the old 4 burner beast is now just sat unloved in the garden.
We use it 4 or 5 times a week in the summer. It comfortably feeds a family of 4 and is great on gas.
Takes a short while to get used to a different way of barbeque'ing (i.e. always cooking with the lid down) but just have a read of the included instructions before you do it the first time and you won't look back. Not cooked a bad meal on this little thing - everything you do seems...Read more
to come out perfect, even with my hamfisted skills - chops, burgers, steak, snags, breakfasts, roasts - there is nothing it cant do! Build quality is great, its really easy to clean and the premium model comes with electronic ignition,a built in thermometer and higher lid. Worth the slight uplift in price over the standard one in my opinion. Buy one and take it anywhere, you cant go wrong!1 comment

Hi Jim, thanks for your great review. The lid down cooking can take a bit to get used to, but the results speak for themselves! The flavour is amazing if we do say so ourselves. Glad to hear you're enjoying your barbecue.

Would like to know what took me so long to get one
You have to love love this little BBQ, changed the way I BBQ. It is very efficient on gas and I love the way my marinated chicken legs turn out in it, and the way my steaks now taste after being cooked in it. Nice and compact as well as easy to clean.

Great to take away camping
This is a great BBQ to take away camping, it's light weight and compact. Very easy to cook with and definitely cooks a mean roast. It doesn't take up much room in the camper trailer so you don't even know it's there. It doesn't use very much gas making it a very efficient BBQ.

Best pork roast that I've ever cooked!
This is another one for me.
One for the van and one for home.
Have been using weber q for over 10years and it's the best bbq that I've ever cooked on!
I always recommend it to all of my friends.
It's really easy to use and clean and now I'm totally converted to closed lid cooking.

pretty good
Bought one years ago & it just stewed steaks & was generally nowhere near hot enough - sold it. Bought a Ziegler & Brown, it was way hotter with good accessories, but if any wind entered the back it was useless. Decided to buy another Q after visiting friends who raved about theirs. It is an entirely different unit in terms of performance. Bought all the various extras, VERY EXPENSIVE - BUT,Great steaks, venison rissoles & sausages, vegetables, pizza, fish, lobster etc. Really happy with this little unit. I think there must have been a fault in the first one, either the burners or maybe the regulator. quality seems good even though out of China. Ideal for the caravan & I even use it in conjunction with my Kamada char grill.

as good as expected
If you read the comprehensive manual with recipes you cant go wrong. My son in law & I used two webers, one with Pork & the other with a turkey roll & really impressed our 2 "girls" for a Christmas dinner. Don't lift the lid all the time just trust the recommendations. If you have the trolley even more convenient but total price grows!

The little Barbie that could!
A brilliant little BBQ! Does everything I want and more, looks good cooks everything perfectly is great on gas, it's easy to clean and best of all it's versatile. I can cook a mean steak one minute then spit roast a pork loin or crank out a cracking pizza, I can do this at home, at the park or on the beach or even on the back of the ute!! Going camping with the baby q mean I can cook great food easily anywhere! It's safe to say this baby really is part of the family!

Great portable bbq that you can take anywhere!
We bought our weber Q to take on holidays and we love it. It's portable and easy to use. You just have to get used to bbqing with the lid closed. Meat cooked in the weber Q is tender and tasty and it cooks the usual steak and snags, but also roasts beautifully. We were looking at cheaper portable bbq's but we read a lot of negative feedback and after reading such positive reviews on the baby q we decided it would be worth paying the extra money and we have no regrets.

Baby steps with my Baby Q
I waited over a month to use my new Baby Q, pondering on what to cook as my first attempt. I finally decided today to roast some potatoes, nothing else, just potatoes. I am very fussy in the potato roasting area.
So, after following the pre-heating instructions I popped the potatoes in and left them for almost an hour.
They were perfect, golden and crunchy on the outside, fluffy inside. I am delighted.
The whole process was very easy to follow from the instruction book, and the Baby Q is light and easy to move around.

This is the best barbecue, wouldn't be without it.
It is easy to use, easy to clean & great to just pick up and take away for camping or a picnic.
We love it :-)
Cannot go wrong with this barbecue! We have had other barbecues but found this one so easy to use.

Best ever BBQ
I purchased the Baby Q a few months back. This is the best BBQ I have ever used. I get the perfect steak every time and this includes premium eye fillets cooked medium rare. I also use it to make pizzas. My family and friends have commented that they are the best pizzas they have ever had. The BBQ is also great for baking vegetables. The BBQ is very conservative on gas and extremely easy to clean with the Weber Cleaner. I would totally recommend this product. Jim

Love it!
Purchased a BabyQ for the caravan after seeing lots of campers using them. After using first time, fell in love with it. It is that good I use at home. In fact I use any chance I get, even on cold winter nights. Steaks, hamburgers, chicken, roasts, bacon & eggs all sensational. Accessories not cheap, but worth it. Can't wait for summer.

We're so happy with our Baby Q. Have cooked a wide variety of delicious food including grilled meats, roasts and seafood. It suits our apartment lifestyle and we're looking forward to taking it on our camping trips. It's so easy to operate and clean. We highly recommend this great little BBQ.

Cooks great and portable
I was given this for my birthday and so far so good. Cooks evenly, easy to use and we've even taken it camping. Beats the camping stove weve had for years. Good size too. When I saw it I thought it may be too small but it fits steaks, sausages and chicken kebabs for family and guests. Even cooked a roast on there the other night. Wife was happy her oven didn't get dirty. Great product.

undecided
Bought this 3 months ago when we moved into an apartment after researching it and reading reviews. It is a great size for a balcony and the fact that cooking with lid down as it's designed to do means less bbq smoke etc to permeate to other peoples balconies. I so wanted to rave about it and imagined I would be doing the majority of cooking in it for two of us to avoid cooking indoors. However, it hasn't worked out like that. Haven't cooked a really decent meal on it yet. Yes I've read the accompanying books which lack detail for recipes and ...Read more
watched the cd and even you tube videos. Been back into the store where they do demo's and checked we are doing it right. Steaks just seem a bit stewed as the grill plate doesn't seem to contact enough of their surface unless you rotate them a few times which goes against the instructions and videos I watched. Sausages not great either, need to cook almost on lowest heat setting to try and avoid black outsides. In fact, we found sausages better cooking with the lid up. Cooked a pork roast with half decent crackling after painstakingly researching how to produce the best chance of great crackling. I think I'll get more out of roasting on it than bbq steaks etc. The cooking grills are of good quality and clean relatively easy but I can see how marinades would change that. The half flat plate we bought hasn't been easy and seems to have stains and sticky residue no matter what we do. Have only cooked sausages on it. It seems the weber really isn't suited to marinated food so have kept to simply seasoned meat while trying to get the hang of cooking on it, however finding plain steaks and chook a tad boring. All in all I want to love it but feeling undewhelmed with it, particuarly as they are expensive.1 comment

etter results. It is true that Weber Qs work differently than other bbqs, but that's also the reason people love them. The flavour you get when cooking with the lid down is awesome - but preheating, and cooking on the correct temps is essential to success. Probably the best thing to do is to call Weber Customer Service on 1300 301 290 - our team there are fantastic and use the product all the time, so can help out with any cooking advice. Or feel free to message us here, and we'll do our best to help in any way we can. Cheers, Dave@WeberAustraliaSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Can i use 2 hot plates on my 1200 q
1 answer
Weber Barbecues A.Weber
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 - Just bought a Weber Q1200. Specifications say 4.5 kg - 9 kg for LPG cylinder. Local shops had 4 kg or 9 kg. Will 4 kg cylinder be ok to use? Thanks.
1 answer
Weber Barbecues A.Weber
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.
