Weber Q Questions & Answers

Hi Dave, the Q2000/2200 frame is almost 80cm at it's widest point.

Hi Graeme, we typically recommend any size from 4.5kg-9kg bottles, as this is what has been tested on our barbecues- we use these sizes to determine the number of typical cooking hours that a gas bottle would use and therefore how long it should last.

That being said, if it fits on the regulator, then it is fine to use- you just may not get as many cooks on a smaller bottle.

Hi Maisy, you can remove the button by twisting the button 1/4 turn to the left and pull it out. That will reveal the battery and allow you to change it. To install it again, just insert and turn 1/4 to the right (essentially reversing what you just did) and you will find it working again.

Hi Sue, yes you can, as long as it is not touching the lid on the inside.

Hi Sue, yes you can, as long as it's not touching the lid on the inside.

Hi Debbie, was there a fault with yours, or did you break it? You can contact our head office on 1300 301 290 if there was a fault (will need images), but if it was just broken we don't have spares.

No, we don't offer splatter guards for the frying pans.

Hi Sue, both of these will fit your sized Q

Patio cart - https://www.weber.com/AU/en/accessories/cookbooks-and-more/carts/weber-q-patio-cart/6524.html#q=cart&lang=en_AU&start=1

Hi Treece, thanks for your question. We recommend using it on the right-hand side, opposite to the ignition point so there is adequate airflow to allow the barbecue to ignite. That being said, it can be used on either side.

Hi Andy, yes you can. If you head into any Weber retailer they can show you how to take them off easily :)

Hi Katya, the Patio cart is only compatible with 2000/2200 (Weber Q) models. The Baby Q (1000/1200) models are compatible with the Portable cart, which you can find here: https://www.weber.com/AU/en/accessories/cookbooks-and-more/carts/weber-q-portable-cart-q1000-q2000-series/6579.html#q=%2Bcart&lang=en_AU&start=1

Hi Chev, if you've got a full grill then you will need to look at options like these:
- Q breakfast plate: https://www.weber.com/AU/en/accessories/cooking/griddles/weber-q-breakfast-plate/93395.html#q=griddle&lang=en_AU&start=1
- Q Frying Pan: https://www.weber.com/AU/en/accessories/preparation-and-serving/specialty-accessories/q-ware-frying-pan-large/991155.html#q=frying%2Bpan&lang=en_AU&start=1

These are designed to sit on top of the grill, rather than having to remove half of it.

Alternatively, you can purchase split grills from Weber Stores and Weber Specialist Dealers :)

Hi Mark- you should have received a small set of grill clips that will help support the hotplate and grill in your older model Q- if you didn't receive these, send us an email at [email protected] with your address and we'll send you out a set

Hi Damo, the half-hotplates are made to be used with our split grills; if you've got a full grill, you have the option of removing the entire grill and just using the half hotplate (this won't give you much flexibility in terms of space) OR you can purchase a set of split grills and then you can use both the grill and hotplate at the same time.

Alternatively, you could look at a large frying pan (https://www.weber.com/AU/en/accessories/preparation-and-serving/specialty-accessories/q-ware-frying-pan-large/991155.html#q=frying%2Bpan&lang=en_AU&start=1) OR a plate like this Breakfast Plate that sits on top of your grills https://www.weber.com/AU/en/accessories/cooking/griddles/weber-q-breakfast-plate/93395.html

Let us know if you need any more info!

Hi Damo, this is the link for the split grill https://www.weber.com/AU/en/accessories/care/gas-barbecue-replacement-parts/weber-q-grill-retail-pack-with-clips/7645.html#q=grill&lang=en_AU&start=1

We don't recommend cutting the grill in half with a grinder either.

Hi Sourjyo, yes, you can convert your barbecue. We sell conversion kits that are available through our customer service team. You can contact them on 1300 301 290, and please be sure to have your serial number handy to speed up the process. Thanks!

Hi Trish, I can get you some measurements, but you won't fit a leg of ham inside the Q100. You would be looking at a piece of leg- you can ask your butcher to cut a leg in half and that should fit.

If you're not set on ham, you could also do something like this recipe here, as that would fit inside the Q100: https://www.weber.com/AU/en/recipes/poultry/turkey-roulade/weber-202261.html

Hi Jenny. Yes, technically you can use one. However, the philosophy of Weber barbecues is to cook with the lid down, preferably on the grills. When you cook on a full hotplate, you're getting the performance of any flat-top barbecue and not the quality performance that Weber's are known for. We recommend using a half-hotplate, and half grill because if we believed it would perform adequately, we would manufacture our own full hotplate.

Hi Leah, we have half-hotplate options available online here: https://www.weber.com/AU/en/accessories/cooking/griddles/

We don't recommend a full hotplate for the grill as we believe you get better results with half grill, half hotplate. Hope that helps!

Hi Mossimo, extremely hard to say what the exact temperature would be on your Q due to many variables like position, weather, age of the Q, gas levels, etc.

We write all of our recipes in settings, rather than the temperature, for this reason as Standard Q owners would have difficulty determining the temp.

If you would really like to know, there are many external thermometers available to help you ensure your food is cooked. We have three; the iGrill range, Snapcheck Thermometer and Instant Read thermometer, which are all available on our website https://www.weber.com/AU/en/home/
