Weber Baby Q Standard (Q1000AU) Questions & Answers

Hi Rick, sorry we can only comment on connections that are suitable for Australian and New Zealand barbecues. We are not aware of the gas requirements for Portuguese barbecues.

Hi Russell, yes, there is a space at the bottom of the Portable Cart that is capable of holding a 9kg gas bottle.

Hi Fran, we're sorry to hear that you have had an incident with your Q- did you call us when this happened? We can organise replacement parts & warranty claims so you should have had to purchase a new barbecue.

The size of the gas bottle doesn't impact heat levels- if cleaned correctly and drip & convection trays are changed regularly (or with each use when talking about convection trays) then there should be no reason for there to be a fire.

If you could tell me what you were cooking and what settings you had it on, we can help avoid this with your current barbecue. Thanks

Hi there, we have this longer hose available online and in Weber retailers: 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 Neil, what do you need?

Spare parts come from our head office - you can contact us on 1300 301 290 and we can organise parts.
But some parts are available online, depending on what you need https://www.weber.com/AU/en/home/

Hi Julie, the Baby Q models are to be used with LPG only, as they are a portable barbecue. They cannot be connected to Natural Gas.

Hi Steve, yes it does. It comes as one attachment; hose & regulator and that connects to the valve on the barbecue.

Hi Georgia, we recommend using any sized gas bottle from 4kg-9kg, and these are the most common size bottles you'll find around the place.

Hi Sue, if you've got a Baby Q model (q100/120/1000/1200), then this is only available in an LPG model and no connections are available for NG. Any model up from the Baby Q range is available on either LPG or NG. Sorry about that.

Hi Pierre, you can purchase a new lid from Weber head office if you really want to. We can be contacted on 1300 301 290.

Having the high lid and thermometer is not essential to be able to cook in your Q- all of our recipes are written by setting, rather than by temp so you can follow along if you have a standard lid.

Why do you think you need one?

Hi Denny, the Baby Q models can't be used on natural gas, only LPG. This is because they're a portable barbecue and aren't suited to NG connections. A Weber Q model and up can be used with NG as an option.

Hi Denny, we recommend bottles from 4.5kg-9kg with our Q range of barbecues. If you need any further info, please call us on 1300 301 290 :)

Hi Hunter, yes Baby Q barbecues only use LPG gas. 4.5kg bottles is the minimum size bottle we recommend with these barbecues.

Hi Yoyo, yes it is. Thanks!

Hi Geoff, we can't guarantee a particular temp at a particular setting, so we have created all of our recipes to go by setting on the dial rather than cooking by temp. That being said, you can use a Bluetooth thermometer like our iGrill with an ambient probe and monitor the internal temp of your Q, or if you have a thermometer in the lid you can use that too.

Hi Erin, that's not good to hear.

This to check are:
- Whether you have enough gas in the bottle to sustain constant temp during the cook
- is there anything restricting the airflow around the mesh at the end of the burner tube (reducing bush)?
- check the regulator ('disc' metal part on the hose) as there is a small hole that can become blocked - if you clear it with a pin this may help better regulate the air flow.

Other than that, please call us on 1300 301 290 so we can look into this further. Thanks!

Hi Mark, thanks for your question. Our barbecues are suited to either LPG or NG gas types- when using LPG we only recommend you use gas bottles sized between 4.5kg-9kg, and these will suit your gas connections. Hope that helps Mark and if you have any further questions, please let us know.
