Weber Baby Q Questions & Answers (page 3 of 19)

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 there. No, the Patio cart will not fit the Baby Q series- you need to look at the Portable Cart, which is the folding one. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

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 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 Peter, this does sound like a gas supply issue, most likely caused by the regulator. If you could please either email us at [email protected] or phone on 1300 301 290 with your serial number handy, we can help you with this. Thanks!

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 Andrea, they're covered for the life of the barbecue, so just give us a buzz on 1300 301 290 and have your serial number ready and we'll replace it for you. Cheers

Hi Andrea, yes you can use them on a normal stovetop and oven, just ensure you take the handles off as you would if you were using them on the Weber.

The only cooktop they won't work on is an induction cooktop. Hope that helps!

Hi Alan, yes you remove the half grill and replace it with the hotplate. We appreciate your feedback on the instructions though and will review this in future updates. Thanks

Hi Jeff, I'm sure we can help you get the most from your barbecue. Can I ask what you were trying to roast at the time? And are you using a convection tray/trivet? Thanks

I would definitely suggest using a convection tray and trivet set up, as this ensures that your meat is protected from direct heat (by being lifted off the grill) and having the heat deflected/circulated around the meat, cooking it evenly. You can learn more about roasting with a convection tray and trivet here:https://www.weberbbq.com.au/video/q-convection-trays/

Roasting on your Q is a little different to roasting in your typical oven, so it is actually ok that it is a little hotter than you're used to - in fact, the 220c actually falls into the range of indirect medium cooking temp, as outlined in this recipe for a leg of lamb here: https://www.weberbbq.com.au/recipe/minted-lamb-roast/

It is best that you have your barbecue set up correctly for indirect medium heat (or roasting setting), as outlined in your owner's guide- if you need a new copy, please contact us and we can send you out one. Alternatively, you can see the guide here in digital form (see page 2): https://www.weberbbq.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Q1000-2017-handbook-LR.pdf

If you haven't already, try using the minute-per-millimetre rule when it comes to calculating your cooking time. You measure the thickness of the thickest part of the lamb and convert that to minutes- this will give you a perfect medium rare doneness.

I hope that helps you with your lamb roast Jeff, and please let us know if you need any further information along the way! Typically you can get quicker responses from our social media pages (@weberbbqausnz on most platforms).

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 Don, we've replied to your other post, but we'd love some more information about what has happened with your Baby Q. Please send us an email at [email protected] with any photos and a description of what happened and we can go from there. Thanks!

Hi Don, that's not good to hear, and we hope that you're alright. Can you give us a bit more information about what happened? If you'd rather, please email us at [email protected] with some images and we can go from there.

Hi Karen, the large casserole dish doesn't fit properly in the Baby Q as it is too tall when the lid is down, as the sides of the lid slope down towards the outside. Sorry!

Hi Ron, the average temperatures for the Baby Q are below, just to give you a gauge:

Approximate Q Temperature - After 10 minutes on high
Weber Baby Q - 220°C (428°F)

Approximate Q Temperature - After 10 minutes on low
Weber Baby Q - 165°C (329°F)

What are you trying to cook at these temperatures?

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 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 Sylvia, no it won't- it's too tall and wide. You'll need to look at the small casserole dish. Thanks!

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.
