Weber Baby Q Questions & Answers (page 2 of 19)

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 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 Ros, if you've got your barbecue set-up correctly for roasting (as per your barbecue owner's guide) and using a convection tray and trivet, then it sounds like you've put everything on at the same time?

I would have put the chicken on first, then the vegetables on about half-way through the cook, as they don't take as long as the chicken would.

If you've got any other queries, please let us know.

Hi Ross, can I ask how hot your barbecue is getting? What temperature are you trying to achieve and what are you trying to cook?

Ensure you've checked your gas levels and made sure there are no leaks too, as this can impact heat levels.

It should definitely be able to do that, but it depends on how long you let it pre-heat for? Did you pre-heat the frying pan in the barbecue?

Were you using the barbecue with the lid open?

Hi Barry, thanks for your question. It could be the cause- was it having this issue when you weren't using the mat?

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 Tracey, the stands that you need for your model Q are obsolete and no longer sold, sorry.
We suggest a flat, stable surface made from non-combustable material such as metal or stone to place your Q on. You can find small camping tables at most camping and hardware stores. Apologies we couldn't help any further with this.

Hi Jess, no it is not.
It needs to be used in an outdoor area, like a backyard, balcony, campsite, etc. Inside is not a place to be using a barbecue.

Hi there! Good news; you can take the lid off for storage and travelling. It's only held on by two pins at the back of the lid, so just remove those and store accordingly.

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 Saffa, sorry to hear that! We have spare parts available from our head office- you can call them on 1300 301 290 to organise your replacement.

Hi Heidi, not a stupid question at all. Our older model Qs came with single grills, whereas the updated version comes with new, split grills.

You can still purchase single grills from our head office on 1300 301 290, but all of our Weber retailers sell the split grills in store, which you can use as there is a small metal clip in the box that supports the centre of the two grills where they split. Hope that makes sense :)

Hi Helen, thanks for your question.
We recommend using one half-hotpalte, and the other half grill for the best results when using your Q. This is to do with airflow, heat levels and convection-style cooking that our barbecues are known for.

Let us know if you need any further info :)

Hi Jason, due to variables like environment, gas level, age of Q, etc. we cannot attribute a specific temperature to each dial setting. That being said, we have some ranges below that you can expect from each setting:

roasting (indirect medium) range -190-230
direct high 250-290

Hi Jason, your Q should be getting to about the 220 mark after 10 minutes on high, and 250-290 mark after about 20 minutes. Please keep in mind it is recommended that you don't leave your Q on high for longer than 20 minutes, and dial it back to medium range (if you're doing anything other than direct grilling). The heat levels will stay quite high though if you leave the lid closed.

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 Ann, it does fit, but it covers too much of the grill to be efficient - the small casserole dish is best suited to the Baby Q series.

Hi Ann, if you're talking about the Premium Baby Q lid (Q1200), then yes. The lids fit the same across all the Q's, it's just the height that changes :)

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