Which size trivet?

published

Went to a weber display and they advised you can use the next size up trivet in the baby q, just make sure you use the baby q convection tray so as not to inhibit air flow. I use this always and works a treat. Just gives you that little extra space on the trivet for vegetable parcels, spuds etc. Never had a fail and we have cooked every kind of roast going. Webers are fantastic for roasting.

Very happy with this purchase. First time I used it did a 4.8 kilo roast pork, crackling not complete so removed it and placed it face down on trivet, watched carefully. 100% crackled to perfection. Done steaks, sausages, salmon, roast beef etc. Previously used a kettle, but too much hassle with coals etc, this just works and works well!

The best company I have ever dealt with

published

Had an issue with baby q and lid was replaced immediately. Sent by courier the same day. I had heard that Weber in South Australia were great. Would never buy any other brand other than Weber. Brilliant company with brilliant products. This is so rare these days

Hi Mike, thanks so much for your review! Enjoy your barbecue.

Two temperature settings: very hot and scorching!

published

It's impossible to slow roast anything. You can really only cook things that need a very high heat, so steaks, roasts and any firm cut of meat are off the menu, I'm afraid. The temperature adjustment knob is far too insensitive - the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures is minimal

Great in the beginning

published

I was very happy with the Baby Q for almost 6 months before I started having problems starting it. The flicker will would not work so we have always had to use an external source to light the BBQ, which can be a little dangerous at times. Whilst I love the compact size of the BBQ it is a real hassle to clean. The gas jets get blocked constantly.
I'm sure a cheaper model BBQ would work just as well as the Baby Q. Definitely would not purchase another one.

Great Little Barbie

Happy with my Baby Q,well constructed and robust, still fine tuning my ability to do a perfect roast.
Have not found any faults with it so far,I like the fact that it is extremely portable, I sometimes take it to the beach,I use a trolley to carry it along with a 6kg gas bottle.
Temperature gauge is very useful to determine proper cooking temp.

Cooks well, but concerned about safety as flame constantly goes out.

published

The unit does cook really well and is a nice compact unit. I am however very concerned about safety. So many times have I pre heated the unit (located on a covered balcony with no wind), walked inside to get the meat to come back and the flame is out and there is a strong smell of gas (obviously). Unfortunately this bbq requires constant supervision and doesn't allow multi tasking like preparing the salad inside as the meat cooks. Such a shame.

q1200 good cooking but does not work as pressure is low

published

We have tested drive steak, sea food, roasting beef and chicken. Excellent results but
1) must use the original trivet. None of the bunning's one fit.
2) sensitive to low bottle pressure.

A Teflon sheet or aldi grill plate are workable alternative to weber breakfast plate which is quite expensive.

I did a lot of research before deciding on the Weber Baby Q. Our old bbq was so slow and a roast took hours to cook. After reading all the reviews I went to a demo at out local Camping store & the decision was made, buy it!!
The best chicken I have ever tasted. Still experimenting, haven't tried steak yet. Easy to adjust, gets very hot in a short time & the temperature gauge makes it easy to keep track of the cooking. Love my Baby Q

Love it. Have used it two or three times a week since I bought it. I am no chef but haven't had a failure yet. Even overlooked meat is still nice and moist. Looking forward to experimenting with a roast.

Great little BBQ

Wow from the first steak to the next, this little beauty just keeps geeing better. If you are thinking about a portable BBQ for you and your family, this one is the one. Weber baby Q 1200 will not disappoint. If you do store it for a while between cooks then use your common sense and check all the gas lines etc for little critters that might find a home, a 10 second job.

Baby Q Premium (Q1200AU)

Can i use 2 hot plates on my 1200 q

1 answer
Weber
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.

Baby Q Premium (Q1200AU)

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
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.
