Weber Q Review, 2 years testing 

Nice review. Appreciate that you've owned and used it for awhile before reviewing it. Not just unpacking it and reading the side of the box. good info

Ronny, here's a twist on your bacon, pork roast. Take a pork tenderloin, poke a hole through the middle (I use my metal knife sharpening rod) stuff in a link of sausage, then wrap the stuffed tenderloin in bacon. It is simple, flavorful and amazing. If you like spice you can stuff it with spicy sausage or you can coat the tenderloin with dry rub. Cooks quickly too as the diameter is smaller than a larger roast. Enjoy. BTW, we call it Triple Play as it is pork stuffed with pork and wrapped in pork.

Webber do a quality duffle bag for the baby for under $50, and also they will replace any part including the hot plate if it's in its 5 year warranty and the pizo has a lifetime replacement guarantee, a very good company to deal with

thanks Ronny,I purchased a Weber Q after watching one of your other videos a year ago.The Best Thing ever .Thank you

Bought our q1000. Used it everyday on our trip to the San Juan mountains. Excellent addition to our rig! Thanks Ronny!

You don’t need to clean the BBQ with wipes. The “tradition” with Webers is to leave it after you cook. When you next fire it up put it on full blast and let it all heat up then clean the grill with a wire brush before putting your next meal on.

The fact that you guys make room for that in your overland rigs tells me how good it is. Gonna have to try it out.

Ronnie, we use BBQ mats for doing pizza. Cut 3 mats to suit your webber size, one lays over the grill the other two are for making the pizzas on. As one cooks you make the other and keep rotating them as you get a spare mat. Nice crispy bottom and, just make the mat to a size an inch short of the grill size to allow for heat convection. Cheap, easy and light weight.

Came across this years old video while looking at Weber reviews. Good to see some of the footage of the old crew again.

Thanks for the review. I have already decided to buy a Q1200 but your info Is great and helps confirm I’ve made the right decision , so thank you 👍

Thanks, Ronny. You could join the two grills together with steel wire so that they can't move too.

Thanks to you Ronny I bought one , no regrets, I've put a ceramic tile in it with a few layers on tin foil and baked biscuits and pizza

I've had my Q for about a year now and love it. Great review.

Great review! I wish those small 2kg/5lb gas bottles were easier to find in the USA because that seems perfect for an extended camping trip.

I can tell you right now... I'm from West Australia and this guy is the real deal, when is comes to someone living in the bush. You can't fake it. My attempt at being bushy would be hilarious. So if this dude says it works... It's good. Kinda jealous my lifestyle doesn't and will not permit me to be a bush wookie. Australia for life xoxo

I was admittedly sceptical about this particular BBQ at first, but since owning one and using it for it's multitude of intending cooking purposes, I can without a shadow of hesitation recommend them. They're incredibly good at cooking food and they're great quality. Would I buy another one? I'd bypass just about every other BBQ in order to buy another one!

A must have, grab the 2 tables that connect to the sides. They fold into the Weber under the lid when stored. I've also had a canvas bag made for mine. I've got a single piece grill plate, single flat plate, the side tables and all my utensils. It all closes under the lid.

I've had 2 of these BBQ (first one I bought in late 2004) they're the best, easy to clean,fast to cook on, small enough to be portable, big enough to feed many people. I wish weber made a two burner camping stove with the same quality and thought....

Great, a fellow Aussie reviewing it :-)

Howdy Ronny just to let you know the igniter issue is most likely a simple one. When we took my Weber 4wding the igniter rattled loose and there is actually a battery that powers it. So if you unscrew the igniter button there should be a battery in there. Unsure if this works for your baby q we have the family q or whether you already knew there was a battery there. Hopefully this helps you if not someone else who follows this awesome channel.

It's a great grill. Which for sure will get a place in my 4x4 setup. Just add the griddle plate for eggs, toast, pancakes etc. I use a spray can with olive oil to prevent sticking and maintain the grill. And make sure to get a cheap luggage scale. As canisters are usually calibrated it gives you some great indication on how much gas is left.

You can add a spring washer to the inside of the webber hood and tighten the handle screws up. Will fix the loosing problem

I've been thinking about one of these for a while and you convinced me. Just ordered one along with the bag a few people have mentioned in the comments and the trivett. Will pick up some other bits like the pizza stone soon as well.

Hi Ronnie, just so that you know Weber have a full duffle bag for the baby Q, we bought one and its great. Thanks for the vids mate, keep up th good work. Cheers Steve

What a fantastic review thanks for the heads up. With the plates shifting while travelling. Good stuff mate.

Oh, and regarding the issue of your loose handle. Undo the screws and slip a spring washer behind each one and do them up again. Problem solved.

Great vid! I've got to get that pizza stone

Thanks for the review and helpful tip on removing the grates before traveling! I’m about to buy a Q1200 and I will definitely remove the grates before I take it on road trips

I stopped using the roasting trays and started using a few layers of heavy duty alfoil instead. Just poke some holes in them on the edges so the juices can run through.

I always take our baby q when we go camping. We have cooked roasts, pizzas, damper and even bread and butter pudding! I think the baby q is the best for all round camp cooking. They do such a great steak!

Couldn't agree more Ronny. Mine goes everywhere with me.

While we love our Baby-Q I am still recovering from paying the enormous price. They are well over-priced for the material involved in constructing the unit. We have added the Weber meat thermometer to it as well and with that you will never ruin a roast. One other handy extra you can get is a solid half BBQ plate so you can do onions etc.

Hey Ronny, these Baby Q's are the cat's arse. Ive had mine for nearly 2 years and it gets used at least 3 times a week. Love it to bits. But I've got the premium model which has the bigger, higher lid which is better for fitting bigger roasts in. Also has a temp gauge in lid and electronic ignite.

Good review on a great bit of gear we love our webber q, a great recipe we use when out camping is : Smoked lemon chicken, easy to do also, just insert a half a lemon into the cavity plenty of salt on the skin with some oil & get some gum sticks soaked in water & roast the chicken on full whack for about 20 mins, then turn it down to half, add your wet sticks & let it smoke for about an hour & quarter, its full on yum. Please share your awesome camp recipes below

Great review mate, you covered a lot of info I didn't think about. Am definitely going to get one now. Cheers

I use a heavy 3 mil plastic contractor clean-up bag to transport my Q. These can be found at Home Deport et. al., and Amazon.

They have a fantastic warranty and I told are very good to deal with. That starter is I'm told covered by the warranty. Love my Weber a joy to use. I have a base model without the heat gage. So a little guess work and all good.

Thanks Ronny! I have been looking for a review to pull the trigger on buying one!

You can get an adapter from Bunnings to use the small green Coleman 473g portable gas cylinders. They take up no room and makes life so much easier.

Mate try the baby Q bag! zips up around the entire BBQ keeps 95% of the dust out and has carry handles, also has enough room for the extra plates/trivet ect. Reasonable quality too. I normally camp oven it but if going to a national park its as simple as grabbing the entire bag and going.

ConVection, Ronny, that's the convention.. :-)

A very popular BBQ for the caravanners and campers, I had the Baby Q as well, sold it as it just took up too much space. A good BBQ, but for me, not worth the space it takes up, and yes I'm space constrained. I rather use the Coleman gas stove , and where possible use the fold up fire pit. For me the wipes did not work, the gerney on the other hand works a treat.

I just picked up a used baby q because of you and your cooking with a weber q video

convection not convention

Did you ever consider tying the two plates together with wire? Possibly a cost effective way to prevent them moving around so much

Wire the two plates together,job done.

ziegler and brown for me, they run hotter so need to keep an eye on the roasts and long cook things. It's a quick cook for snags, chops, steak etc. But it's a choice... What do you eat most?

Good advice about a great product. Just remember it's not like your gas guzzling 6 burner. The little Weber is very economical in its use of gas but you have to cook with the lid closed to get the fantastic results it is capable of. But do not be tempted to buy the matching Weber plastic cart. It's junk.

On ebay i bought an after market full flat plate and stainless side tables, set me back a bit but was well worth it... threw the grill plates away

Weber have a optional duffle bag for baby q only and u can get a after market stand that packs up and only adds about 50-100 mm to the height if u wish I can find out what model we have

You can buy bags that fully cover the Baby Q. As with everything Weber though they are quite expensive

Excellent review, many thanks.

Bunnings has a lot of BBQ tools and products. Got a nice Gasmate cover that fits better and is cheaper than the Weber one.

Ronny, use a little loctite thread lock on the handle next time it's loose. You probably have some for the car. Never come loose again .

Sick video mate I'm buying one tomorrow

You have way too much fun man! I envy you!

Great information and so impressed by your video. Thanks bro

Love my baby q, great review

Nice work fella. Great tips :)

Good video Ronny , and awesome bbq, just wish it packed down smaller

I use the Baby Q all the time, at home and when travelling. Have you had your burner tube clog up? Got to clean that this weekend. Not sure what the best way to do it is. I also bought the 'Weber Q Small Frying Pan'. It's great. Eggs are perfect in it, as is that chorizo and baked bean breakfast dish in the collection of recipes that comes with the frying pan. Two pans also fit under the hood. Nice review, by the way.

Great honest review. Thanks mate.

Convection mate, lol. Scandinavian Kangaroo. 😁 Great review mate, i am going to get one. Cheers Moose in Vic.

I believe Weber will replace the ignition for the life of the BBQ.

could you just twist some wire around each side of grill plates so they cant shift?

Another Aussie here, Tassie,

Only down fall on the baby Weber Q it only has that one element so you can’t turn one side down while continuing to cook with a hotter side, personally that’s the only downside I’ve found with my baby Q maybe it’s on the bigger sizes other than a minor pick it’s still a brilliant thing to have.

Hey Ronny, great review, very practical, thank you. What brand of lapel mic do you use?

where did you get it from? i know where to get em but ima take a wild guess and say you got it from rays outdoors in cannington? FYI im from perth too. love the vids

i use a Australian made stainless steel marine bbq it's awesome

Hi Ronny, would the Weber Q work for cooking on skillets and pots? Maybe it’s too hot. Wanting to know if it could replace camp stove.

Yes, well done

great review style, content, love it.

Good Stuff Ronny.

may you please do a review of the Skottle Grill?

aye ronny, cheers m8, gr8 review

Ronny, with this and the companion stove, you didn't really talk about the cooking - how they work, what to watch out for.. You always cook with the lid down, and it (well the 220 at least) is generally quite a hot BBQ, so a roast cooks faster than you might imagine and snags are super fast compared to a standard grill. The actual grill spacing are narrower than a normal one, so you don't lose food down the bottom, and for the larger grills you can buy breakfast plates etc. We love ours but yeah, they do take up a ton of space.

Hi Ronny When do you do some tests of led lights adna led bars? How are they shining at night? I want to mount two led lamps on the roof on my Land Rover Discovery 2, but I do not know what to choose. I do not want to buy too strong lights. I just want to light up the roadside. I thought over two led bars 12" 72W each one or maybe one led bar 120-180W in the arc?

Nice review

Im between this one and the napoleon 285 pro

do you can tell me, how long will be with a 20lb propane tank? how much day making barbecue every day, or how much hours?

Is there a recipe video for his pork roast? I'd love to give it a try.

I have the same grill, I love it. I bought the optional fold out side tables, as well as the stand.

Great review but convention or convection?

Ronny, have you tried some locktite on the handle?

i hav a webber and can put the top and plate into the dishwasher to clean it

i just bought the ziggy portable. It has a roll back hod that save space and all so has lock for the tray and hot when travelling these features won me over. As i only just got it can't tell if it is any batter.

Good review!

Could you use charcoal brickettes if you ran out of gas?

Main negative is the cost

Weber will replace the pez ignition - give them a call.

What's the body made of?

gotta love the roasts they make! almost as good as home, although a few points about the webbers is.. they cant boil, i like haveing bacon and eggs as well as a hot coffee in the morning, i cant do it on the webber, a twin burner stove is awesome for that, you can make spaghetti, boil rice , have a curry and make a big stew on a twin burner stove... cant on the webber... also i wish they made them a bit more powerful, so that they dont take 15min to warm up when wanting to cook bacon and eggs in the morning, would also be helpful in making a good charred steak, is there a regulator that can be modified on them to make them a bit more powerful?

Great review! A proper realistic coverage of the bbq.

love my baby Q

Weber will replace the pez ignition system if (when) it stops working

i zip tied my plates with steel zip ties to stop them from moving.

The stupid thing I think with the lower end models is that they don't have an inbuilt thermometer.

I need one.

Anyone else watching this on the toilet?
