Owned the 220 almost a month. We've used it most days since we bought it and can't fault it. We've done pizza, roast, snags, steak and an assortment of other goodies. Except for a couple of newbie errors everything has been spot on.
Big enough for a small family to use as their main barbecue, but still mobile enough to take away.
Very versatile and efficient. Cooks well once you get used to the weber way.
Ozzie pricing is a joke. There is no justification for an Australian 220 being more expensive than a 320 in the US. Would have import...Read more

Hubby brought a 220 a few days before Christmas, we had great Sucess with steaks, bacon & eggs as well as pork rashers but our biggest test was today, Christmas Day!
I toyed with the idea of seasoning our 4kg bird with butter, bacon etc but hubby wanted to just add salt, pepper & veg oil 'keep it simple' he said.
I listened, wives sometimes listen!!
We checked it a few times this arvo, we were both a little nervous about drying our bird out.
When the birds Internal temp reached optimum level we dragged our bird into a platter & impatiently waited for it to rest!
Meanwhile we did tiger prawns marinated in garlic, olive oil and chilli!

Prawns - Sensational!

Turkey - succulent, tender & it just had the most amazing flavor!! ...Read more

Santa delivered the family the Q220.
Spent a few hours watching the you tube clips and a bit of reading before getting started.
Followed the instructions and like many family and friends were mightily impressed. Did a 3kg pork shoulder and it turned out perfectly cooked including great crackling. Used a meat temp probe to check when cooked to 77deg.
Keep in mind that this is not a BBQ plate like your standard four burner from the local hardware shop that you turn on and throw the snags on. It has its own set of rules you need to follow.

I have had my Q220 for almost 4 years and it has served me very well. I use it at least once a week to cook anything from steaks, snags, roasts and Pork ribs. If used correctly, the Q220 is an excellent gas barbecue. It cooks food evenly and and is simple to use. I think the Q220 is definitely worth the extra $$ compared to the Q200 as the extra lid space for roasts is a must, the thermometer is very handy and the one button ignition is very convenient. The grill is also very easy to clean which is important for people like myself that have a ...Read more

Our Xmas present to ourselves was a Q220 from BG. Whilst the BG staff need a personality infusion in their sales technique i.e. take it or leave it approach, the product itself is quite good. T-bone steaks and sausages are just great in the Q220. I would love to know how to cook baby back pork ribs on the Q220. In any case it's a new way of cooking, by what is ostensibly a gas convection oven, to an open grill.

The temptation is to look under the hood....don't. And it's all about timing. If you are well prep'd then things cook relatively qu...Read more

Portable, easy to use, versitile, cheap to run, amazing food (What more can i say)

I have had my weber for 5 years now & cook at least 5 meals a week on it. We have cooked everything from Roast, Lasagne, Cupcakes, Pizza, Duck & of course the normal aussie bbq meats (You name it we have cooked it on the weber.)

Cleaning is easy - after use scrub the grill with the grill brush & every so often wash the lid & empty the drip tray.

Amazing portability as we take it camping at least twice a year. This BBQ is so good i have convinced most of...Read more

Just to let new buyers aware of what to expect down the track ! I purchased my weber Q 220 about 2 1/2 years ago, Pros = It still cooks great. Cons =. The black paint has flaked off in small pieces at the front & rear of the unit, (now needs to be repainted ! by who?) The screws that hold the unit together (both BBQ & trolley assembly )are long rusted, except for 3 of them??? Only the heads are rusted at this point ! (ugly look though).

Again who will fix this problem ? We had the electric starter button disappear from the spring housi...Read more

Bought this BBQ yesterday and immediately cooked what seemed to be half a cow in it. As usual, my other half and I trawled through reviews, visited numerous stores, and looked at dozens of BBQs over several months before deciding on this one. My experience was generally positive with caveats.

Take note that while quite a few stores sell the Q200; only selected stores sell the "premium" line such as the Q220. The difference between the two is the Q220 has a slightly higher lid (which will ho...Read more

Terrific. Best BBQ I've ever owned and it has opened my eyes to just what an be one on the barbie. I used to be just a snags and steak guy and now I'm roasting, doing fish and all sorts.
I got the 220 with electronic starter and elevated lid (for roasting room) and built-in thermometer and have no regrets at all. Very easy to start and use and, in 4 months summer usage (i.e. frequent use) I have only had terrific food from it. Very economical with gas. Very uniform temperatures throughout mean meats are cooked evenly and stay moist. A big...Read more

I purchased a weber q220 around 10 months ago and im happy to say its not a bad product. I was originally going to buy the q200 model, but at a price difference of 10 bucks the higher roasting lid, the temperature gauge and the electric start defiantly worth the extra 10 bucks.
Its very efficient, using very little gas with every meal i've cooked on it (note to say; I've never really used it on full ball, 9/10 times cooking with lid closed) Im pretty confident to take on masterchef (if they let me bring my weber)

Only a few drawbacks, the...Read more

You don't need to upscale to the family oriented Q300 if you cook for under 6-8 or need portability like this one, the Q220. We're also keen campers and look forward to taking it with us, 'though we bought the 'Premium' stand for home use. A FANTASTIC cooker with equally fantastic results. Also, after being disappointed with the service at BBQ's Galore, we were happy to find the Q220 available at 'specialist' outlets for little more outlay (the 220 has a higher hood for roasting purposes and temp gauge for $30 more.)
The best food you'll taste,...Read more
