UPDATE (..of my update).
TECH SUPPORT TIP: Dealing with low/no flames at grill start.
This is definitely an entry from the book of "Duh."
OK. I got five Webers. I figure, I "get it." However, this one's twitchy compared to my other gas grills as it concerns the adaptor hose/safety valve hook-up. If using an adaptor for a 20lb. cylinder, crack the valve on the tank extra-slowly! Then, turn on the knob to light extra-slowly. Do this, and this grill will start perfectly and burn like Hades, every time. The safety valve reacts to a marked pressure differential (it restricts flow). One call to Weber Tech Support (after two years of being a dunce) sorted me out: I bought my sister a shiny new Q for her B-day and she had trouble getting it to run right too...

PS: The new version has a thermometer. Great addition.
When I replace my old Weber Genesis 1000, I'm going to get the new Q-300. Weber has really achieved something with the Q design. I'm a TOTAL believer.
UPDATE:
Still love the performance. However, I note the burner is a little touchy. It often does not light completely on its own. I have to scratch at the top of it with a grill brush to get it going. This is annoying

EARLIER REVIEW

I bought the "Q" two weeks ago. There was a discount on Amazon and free shipping. I wanted the Q for camping. I also wanted a second gas grilling surface for the backyard to manage overflow or separate temperatures. I own a few Webers now: Genesis 1000 LX upgraded with stainless parts and now with porcelain coated cast iron ('97), Smokey Mountain Bullet Smoker ('01), Go Anywhere Gas Grill ('99).

Rating of Weber "Q"
+ Grilling area is *big* for a portable
+ Nice browning and control
+ High "Coolness" factor for toy/gadget freaks
+ Good accessories are available (E.g., stand, cover and tools)
+ Easy to set up and operate
+ Q cards are cute

-0- No thermometer supplied- a port and a thermometer would be nice.

- Supplied documentation lacks detail. Weber can add information about cooking estimates for more foods here - or they can publish more on their Web site about using the Q.
- The left top-edge got stained from heat and smoke, and it would not clean up (True, Real Men have dirty grills).
- Box arrived damaged, and there was a small scratch inside the lid. No big matter.
-Tiny patches of scratches on the outside of the top cover became visible after repeated cooking after underlying aluminum began to tarnish.

Two-Week "Test Drive" Results:

Summary: The beauty is in the *heavy* porcelain grill and the open flames. Really nice engineering here. The performance is wonderful. Food looks and tastes sensational! Shelves and accessories add to the convenience. NICE TOY.

Marinated salmon: A grill *full* of goopy salmon filets soaked in oily marinade did not flare up too badly. The skin eventually stuck to the grill, burned a bit and came off the fish (As it usually does). However, cooking control was great. A hearty grilled taste was added, and attractive grill marks were etched into the flesh on both sides. The Q-card estimate for suggested heat setting and cooking time was spot-on. The meal was a hit.

Store-bought Italian sausages: Put three packages (!) on at once Med/Med-Low. Split the sausages down the middle after 8 minutes (It prevents steaming. It improves the grilled effect, however, it does risk drying). Covered the entire grill with split segments and did not suffer a fatal flare-up. Browning and grilled flavor were really first-rate. Segments were juicy enough after 20 minutes. The Q card was vague, but the suggestion I chose for temperature and time worked OK. (I used "brats"). The meal was a hit.

Tri-Tip Steaks: Covered the grill in all-natural beef. Cooked the feast at Medium setting, turning the meat every 2-3 minutes. Cooked for 16-17 minutes, total. The results were fabulous. Got an amazing aroma, nice grill marks, and a good level-of-medium/medium rare doneness.

Burgers: Covered the grill in Coleman frozen burgers. Cooked them on a click-less-than -Medium for 8-9 minutes. Got a fantastic aroma, excellent grill marks and fine color. Got an acceptable level of moisture for safely cooked meat.

Hot Dogs: Covered the grill in dogs. Cooked them on Medium heat turning every 2-3 minutes. Got them to split nicely and the skin to be a little browned. First-rate results! Another hit.

Purchased the Q at Home Depot. Removed the propane tank guard/holder so the wider tanks would fit. Can do no wrong! Setup and startup are amazingly simple. The only complaint is not purchasing it sooner. It's crazy to see all of the 5-star ratings, but it's really true.

Have a Genesis 3000, so expected this grill to perform as well and am not disappointed. Well made, good even heating, no flavorizer bars, but haven't had any flare ups. The cast iron grid is as heavy as the rest of the product, so we will pack it separate in the RV. Have already made a hoop for the 16 oz. bottles, come on Weber, furnish one for both kinds.
Purchased on-line Tuesday and received on Friday, thank you Amazon, and thanks for the $25 off deal!!!!!

Absolutely Magnificent. April 22, 2004

That is how I would describe this grill. It is exactly what I wanted. First I was looking at a Weber Gold Series C grill. Now, I hear that that is a good grill, but I didn't want something so massive and un-movable on my deck all through out the year. So then I started looking at Portables. First, the Thermos grill-to-go - This thing is not a real grill, it's a grill plate\george foreman. Next - a Parker Grill - Portable, Stainless steel, but $400 bucks and only 173 Sq In of cooking area. Then I saw it - the Weber Q! 280 Sq inches of grilling space. More than enough for me and 5 or 6 others. Portable. A vinyl cover for storage outside. I rolling duffle bag, for winter storage or carrying to a park or something. and a FOLDING, ROLLING Cart. Very nice... I cooked on it yesterday, and my Turkey Burgers came out Just right. I love this thing. I am sooooo glad I found it. To think I almost bought the "Thermos Grill-To-Go". I think Weber needs to make a few TV advertisements for this product. They only way I found out about is because the shape of it caught my eye while searching for grills on the internet. The only complaint is that I do think that Weber needs to offer like a package deal with the grill and all the accessories. I had a hard time, finding the "tongs and spatula" set, that goes along with the Q. In addition, they possibly offer a discount on the package as opposed to the "per piece" price.
