Best BBQ I have ever owned
You can not go wrong with this BBQ.
The best part is the heat is really nicely spread across and the meat cooks really well.
The awesome part is the cleaning. Cleaning is always a challenge with BBQ's as we are always lazy.
But with this one it is a dream.

Great bbq
Bought the Webber family q from good guys for $700 at EOFY sale. This BBQ was easy to assemble but does take 45mins so allow some time. The bbq looks great and cooks evenly. It is annoying that you need to purchase all the accessories i.e. Flat grill plate as it comes with the plates that have vents which smaller pieces of food would fall through e.g onions. Also need to purchase the cover and cleaning brush to ensure it stays well maintained but overall very happy with this purchase.

Great family BBQ
We bought the extra plate so we have greater flexibility with the BBQ.
Weber know how to make a good, aesthetically pleasing BBQ for the average punter. We are no bbq expert but we are definitely Aussies so a BBQ is a must.
Great attention to detail with the trolley having a spot for the gas cylinder and the spare plate plus hooks for your BBQ utensils.
We got ours at Good Guys. They also beat a competitor price.
Only used a handful of times but it's doing the job nicely.

Weber covers are a total rip-off
We're on our second cover (silly us). They clearly only last a year in the outdoors, then start to dry and crack, thus letting rain and moisture in. But isn't that what they're for, to protect from the elements? Not everyone has them under a roof! The Weber itself is great, but hey, they need a new fabric, new producer, for the covers. It's a disgrace to pay so much money for something with so short a life! Not happy!

Excellent heat dispersion and very sturdy
Had no issues whatsoever with this BBQ. I have the natural gas model so I plug into my home gas supply. Little hard to reach grooves making cleaning easier.
I occasionally get a fat fire but due to the design of the gas burners, they dissipate quickly without scraping off the fat.

The best BBQ ever. So happy to have bought it.
This bbq has made my life so easy. We can cook pizza, bake cakes make bread and of course saturday and sunday bbq with the family and friends. Pizza is done in 7 minutes with the stones. Can cook 2 pizzas at the same time and the result is much better than the oven.
Everything is cook to perfection the best grilled chicken I ever had. You can buy the wood chip box and add that smokey flavor to the meat, lamb and chicken.
This is the best money I have spent. I literally use my weber at least 3 times a week and since it is NG no need to chang...Read more

Read the reviews and decided to buy one, love it, takes a little getting used to it, but the food is absolutely perfect. Will not buy a normal BBQ again. Quality of the Weber looks to be Ok, (only had it for 2 months), to put it all together was easy, just followed the instruction booklet.

Awesome
Bought the package from The Goodguys, the cover, an extra hot plate and the stand.
Replacing my Cordon bleu that I only had for 7yrs, that cost me a lot and just fell to pieces.
Great BBQ, easy to put together. Easy to clean. Heats up quickly. 5yr warranty. Hope it lasts 10yrs plus.
I must just improve my cooking now.

Easy to use!
I am happy to change the old big BBQ to this one. So happy to use it. This machine is easy to move around and simply to use, the most important thing is easy to clean! Before, the cleaning after BBQ is a nightmare. Because of this new machine, BBQ is number 1 option for our family meeting.

Women friendly to assemble
Apart for the terrific taste of anything cooked on my Weber family Q. It's woman friendly assemble. Meaning there are no heavy parts, half the parts are already assembled in the box. EASY to follow instructions. One person can assemble on own. I put mine together in under 30mins. It's the easiest home product l've put together ever and l've put alot of furniture and large items together in my life time.

Reasonably satisified
Have purchased a family Q some months ago and am reasonably happy. It replaced a BBQ's Galore Turbo which I had for 13 years and upgraded to stainless steal plates at time of purchase. We are a BBQ family and use the kettle once or twice per week and the family two or three. I only got rid of the Turbo because my wife wanted something smaller more compact. We have two BBQ's this and a Weber kettle which I have had for 19 years, and I absolutely love and would never part with. We therefore only use the family as a "flattop" It was on the basis o...Read more
f my positive experience with the kettle that I bought the family. My observations of the family are; Way overpriced and the starter is useless, I have reverted to starting manually. This compares VERY poorly with the electronic starter on the Turbo that was still working perfectly well after 13 years. The only advantage that the family has over the Turbo is that it is easier to clean. Overall there is no way that I would recommend the family or buy another, particularly at the current price.1 comment

Early days with the Webber family Q but I'm impressed.
Day one and we cooked a 2.5kg pork roast and a just over 2.0 kg leg of lamb. All done on a low setting yet cooked a third quicker so saved heaps of gas compared with the old hooded BBQ. Went the extra and purchased a plate so bacon and eggs Sunday went down well.
make sure you read the instruction manual as cooking with the lid down isn't something I would normally do.
It's early days but I'm impressed.

We are currently travelling around in our caravan and we swear by our weber! we don't even need to use our oven or stove in the van we use the weber for everything! So easy to use and our food always tastes so much better with that BBQ flavour! It doesn't take up a lot of room which is important for us travelling. Love it!

Where are the cooking instructions?
Lisa - I can't agree more. Been waiting a long time to get a Weber - and we are having some fabulous roasts, however I just want to say how disappointing it is that Weber can't provide any tips on cooking. What is more your DVD says one thing and your instruction guide says another with regard to turn the small button off, or low? My husband is very literal and you are not helping me at all when I am training him to take on this hobby! He needs clear instructions on how long, which of the family Q buttons is on high then low or off, and after h...Read more
ow many minutes? Pork crackling, roast chicken, a steak - all need heat at different times during the process. Seriously I can't tell you how surprised I am you leave that all up to the consumer? Fortunately I can cook, and I faired the debate regarding my gentle suggestions verses the vague manual :-). You can cause some stressful moments when a wife has to 'interfere' with the BBQ process - in Australia!1 comment

Absolute cheap plastic rubbish!
Anyone who can assemble this product should get a cash back from Weber of at least $300.
Assembly instructions are complete rubbish. Most of the casing is just cheap plastic.
Have had if for a few months now but cannot get it to ignite so have been unable to use it as yet. Have tried to get the battery out but there are no instructions on how to do this and I think I have broken some of the plastic tabs that hold the assembly in place.
My advice is to only purchase this product if it comes fully assembled and in working order.

Great BBQ
I got the Q3100AU as a house warming gift. The assembly was fairly simple, although for some reason Weber placed two almost identical instruction booklets and of course as per Murphy's law I was assembling based on the wrong one (you only find out at the end when one piece doesn't fit). Not an issue but I do think in terms of packing companies should follow Apple's example - minimal and to the point.
To the more important parts of this product. The BBQ itself is very easy to use. I have had it now for over 8 months, used to cook lamb cutlets...Read more
on the kitchen stove - not anymore. It's such a time saver to throw them on the Weber and they come out beautifully, every time. I've also use it to cook many a vegetable, from zucchinis to eggplants and of course corn... sweet sweet corn. Again everything cooks quickly and without any hassle. Cleaning the BBQ is easy, I use one of the metallic "brushes" and a wet cloth after every use. With this simple maintenance process it looks almost brand new after this many months of use. Highly recommend this BBQ to anyone in the market.1 comment

Thank GOD my fire extinguisher was near Patio door. BBQ is scrap now... spent 2 days cleaning up the patio and inside house from fire extinguisher Powder....

Used at least 4 days a week for 2 years. Had it hooked to mains gas.
Gives beautiful pork crackling if you slice skin every cm and dry skin. Light spray of oil then table salt well and rub in. I cook a large pork roast on optional wire rack with biscuit tray under it, after preheating 15 minutes, then for about 3/4 hour to 1 hour on high. Then on medium for 2 hours. Potatoes, onions and pumpkin in large pieces sprayed with oil for the last 1 1/2 hours. Much better than our gas oven. Also cheap beef cuts, blade etc, pot roasts seared in cast iron pot then stock added. Fit tight lid then into weber.. Very tender after 2-21/2 hours. Vegetables added for last half hour. Barbequed meats are all so easy. Keeps the smells and heat out of the kitchen. Great machine.

Hi we have a Weber family Q for over 10 years. It doesn’t have a thermometer but I’d like to cook a roast of beef in it. Where should I have the gauge set please?
Eugene G.asked
Bought Q3100 model and when installing noticed no temperature gauge. Extremely surprised that for the price paid there was none.
Question - Can I replace the lid for the one that does have it and pay the difference? Temperature is absolutely everything in bbq and I would have not purchased it if I knew that it came without it.
P.S. My brother has the same model for many years and it came with the thermostat included. Brilliant bbq and that is why i invested into one, but mine is without thermostat is making it obsolete.
