Weber 66001001 Genesis II S-310 Natural Gas 3-Burner Grill, Stainless Steel

Weber has been a trusted brand among US grillers for decades. Its products have seldom disappointed, and the Weber Genesis II S-310 is a fine example of their quality grills.

Cooking Area:

The primary grilling grate gives 513 square inches of surface and another 159 square inches on the warming rack. That’s 669 square inches in total, plenty of room for 20 burger patties, according to Weber.

Material:

Given how Weber spares no expense when it comes to craftsmanship, it stands to reason that their grills are reputably long-lasting. The S-310 is no exception when its stainless steel construction blends style and substance.

The S-310 sports an assortment of stainless steel components— both major (burners, grates, lid) and secondary (side tables and flavorizer bars) alike. Stainless steel makes sense as the ultimate material for premium-grade grills, considering its impressive properties.

Well-resistant to rust, stainless steel doesn’t corrode or discolor under average conditions. It’s also impervious to oxidation, meaning you can keep the S-310 outdoors for years worry-free, even with no cover.

Burner Layout:

The Weber Genesis II S-310 packs a trio of conventional burners, combining for 39,000 BTU per hour of input. Above the burners, you’ll spot a set of stainless steel heat tents— dubbed flavorizer bars. These metal plates prevent droplets of grease and juice from entering the burners orifices and clogging up the nozzles, keeping things neat and safe for grillers.

Too bad that the S-310 lacks a side burner, which would have otherwise completed the whole package.

Additional Features:

The analog thermometer on the lid is a part of the package. You can monitor the temperature and thus make needed adjustments, even when the lid is shut. For thick items like briskets and turkeys, the iGrill 3— a smart thermometer controllable with Wi-Fi connection— is a useful accessory.

Two side tables offer extra working space for busy grillers who can’t afford to step away from the grill. You can prepare food there or keep condiments and dressings at hand. A set of tool hooks on the sides keeps utensils within arm’s reach.

Weber designed a new grease management system that minimizes flare-ups and collects leftover drippings for convenient disposal. In addition, there’s a set of swivelable casters offering fluid movement when you need to move the grill across the deck.

Besides the natural gas version, the Genesis II S-310 also has a liquid propane-fueled model. Other than the fuel source, the two grills share similar specifications and features. A typical 20-pound fuel tank can last you 11 hours of non-stop cooking before a replacement/refill is in order.

The Weber Genesis II S-310 is covered with a 10-year warranty.

Product Details:

• This product is a Natural Gas unit and you must have Natural Gas plumbed out to your patio or deck to be able to use this grill; If you do not have Natural Gas plumbed, please look at our selection of Propane barbecues
• Equipped with the GS4 high performance grilling system featuring infinity ignition, high-performance burners, stainless steel flavorizer bars and grease management system; BTU-per-hour input: 39,000
• Solid 7mm Stainless Steel rod cooking grates provide superior heat retention
• Ample Cooking Surface. Up to 669 sq in, including the tuck-away warming rack.
• iGrill 3 compatible, for perfectly grilled food (accessory sold separately)
• 10 Year Warranty, 100% Weber guarantee; Main burners: BTU-per-hour input: 39,000
• 3D interactive assembly instructions for this product are available through the free BILT app.

Pros:

• Stainless steel build
• Ample grilling area
• Natural gas and LP-compatible
• Side tables and tool hooks
• Swivelable casters
• Thermometer

Cons:

No side burner

Verdict:

The Weber Genesis II S-310 is our first pick for a variety of reasons. Sleek-looking with lots to offer, this well-rounded grill has what it takes to be the best gas grill of this year.

Royal Gourmet SG6002

The Royal Gourmet SG6002 is a budget-friendly gas grill that many avid BBQ lovers find a pleasant surprise. A quick look can tell that this grill has lots to offer.

Cooking Area:

The interior offers 598 square inches of primary cooking area, plus another 199 square inches from the swing-away warming rack, totaling 797 square inches.

Material:

The porcelain-enameled cooking grates— though inferior to stainless steel— are nonetheless durable enough. Stainless steel, meanwhile, is reserved for the double-layered lid that traps heat inside the cooking chamber.

Burner Layout:

Five stainless steel tube burners (10,000 BTUs each) make this grill seem like it should cost more. If that isn’t enough to entice you, how about an U-shaped searing burner (12,000 BTUs) and a lid-side burner (9,000BTUs).

A built-in spark-plug within each burner makes ignition effortless. Meanwhile, a grease management system keeps the interior mess-free.

Additional Features:

Already a steal for many BBQ aficionados, the SG6002 further sweetens the deal with a wide array of add-ons.

A lid-mounted thermometer keeps you up to date with how hot things get. But it wouldn’t make as much sense as a standalone grill thermometer, as there’s no way that gauge can measure five burners operating at different temperatures.

The side table and cabinet offer extra space, though the cabinet wouldn’t fit anything else once the propane tank is positioned inside. As for the table, it’s firm enough to hold sauces and dressings of all kinds. At the base, a set of swivelable and lockable casters offers portability and convenience in due time.

Unfortunately, the SG6002’s overall warranty spans just one year, which doesn’t send a good vibe to buyers.

Product Details:

• 5 stainless steel tube burners (10,000 BTU each), plus sear burner (12,000 BTU) and lidded side burner (9,000 BTU); Total 71,000 BTU cooking power achieves even heat and juicy flavor
• Porcelain-enameled cooking grates and warming rack offer a total of 797 square inches cooking area, which is consisted of a primary cooking area of 598 square Inches and a secondary cooking area of 199 square inches
• Heavy duty full stainless steel double-layer lid for heat retaining; Built-in thermometer ensures accurate grilling zone temperature measurement
• Electronic ignition system offers quick start-up with every easy push; Metal side shelf offers additional prep and work space
• Removable grease tray for convenient cleaning; Cabinet with stainless steel doors for storing BBQ tools with 4 lockable casters

Pros:

• Multiple burners
• Inexpensive
• Swivelable casters
• Cabinets
• Side table
• Thermometer

Cons:

• Short warranty

Verdict:

Aside from the short warranty, the Royal Gourmet SG6002 is jam-packed with serious heating prowess and all sorts of extras. For grillers who don’t see the point of paying a hefty sum for a gas grill, this grill will do just fine.

Weber 7470001 Summit S-670 6-Burner

Once you’ve made it clear that a natural gas grill is in order—perhaps to complement a renovated kitchen or BBQ island— you might as well go big. It should be something like the Weber Summit S-670.

Cooking Area:

Let’s talk numbers: the humongous interior offers 769 square inches of cooking space, comprising the primary grates’ 624 square inches and the warming rack’s additional 145 square inches. Weber claims the S-670 can cook portions fit 12 adults in one go.

With the typical 5-inch burger, you can technically grill more than a dozen patties while having plenty of room for vegetables on the grill at the same time.

Material:

As expected from a high-end model, premium-grade stainless steel is a no-brainer for various components— the burners, grates, flavorizer bars, and lid.

The rest of the assembly— the cabinet doors, side tables, grease tray— is also standard stainless steel. As for other non-stainless steel components, there’s the porcelain-coated steel cook box, painted cast aluminum side caps, and steel frame.

Buner Layout:

Each primary burner boasts a 10,000 BTUs per hour input, combining for a blazing hot 60,000 BTUs per hour altogether. Six main burners should be impressive enough already, but the S-670 further equips itself with an arsenal of secondary heating options for good measure, including:

• a sear station burner registering 10,600 BTUs,
• a low-power smoker box burner at 6,800 BTUs,
• a side burner offering 12,000 BTUs, and
• a rear-mounted infrared burner with 10,600 BTUs for rotisserie.

Given all its heating prowess, no wonder the S-670 is one of the best natural gas grills available on the market.

Additional Features:

You’ll find the following

• lid-mounted thermometer;
• side table with tool hooks;
• cabinet storage;
• LED-lit control knobs; and
• handle light.

In addition, a set of swivelable and lockable casters offers fluid movement. The catch: you won’t want to move the grill around too far or too often. Given the complicated setup of natural gas grills, the S-670 needs to stay in a designated spot. Save for doing heavy renovations or moving to a different home, this grill isn’t going anywhere.

Built to last, the S-670 is under a 10-year warranty from Weber.

Product Details:

• This product is a Natural Gas unit and you must have Natural Gas plumbed out to your patio or deck to be able to use this grill; If you do not have Natural Gas plumbed, please look at our selection of Propane barbecues
• The Weber Summit is great for you outdoor grilling needs with it’s 6 burners. Hose length- 120 inch

Pros:

• Stainless steel build
• Ample grilling space
• Multiple burners
• Smoke box
• Thermometer
• Side tables and tool hooks

Cons:

• Expensive

Verdict:

The Weber Summit S-670 is a luxurious gas grill with top-notch craftsmanship and cooking performance second to none. This grill shouldn’t need much introduction when its imposing design and heating capacity speak volume already from the get-go.

Weber 57060001 Q3200

Your cooking passion may take a massive hit if the backyard isn’t large enough to accommodate a full-size gas grill. In that case, you can settle for the Weber Q3200— a quality-built, yet compact gas grill with space-saving design.

Cooking Area:

The interior isn’t as limited as one might fear. The primary grilling surface offers 393 square inches while the warming rack gives an additional 75 square inches. Per Weber’s official website, the 468 square inches in total should be good enough for four to six adults.

Even when perching on its cart and extending all side tables, the Q3200 doesn’t gobble as much space as conventional gas grills. The whole assembly measures 43.5 inches tall by 50.2 inches wide by 30 inches deep.

Material:

The Q3200 sports a set of porcelain-enameled cast iron grates. While cast iron is often used for cooking equipment, including grill grates, there are a few things to bear in mind.

Since bare cast iron grates succumb to rust under normal circumstances, many are porcelain-enameled. If not, at least they should be treated with oil to help resist corrosion. Cast iron grates require more cleaning effort than other materials, but many people feel that extra elbow grease is worth it.

Under no circumstance should bare cast iron grates be air-dried for too long. Instead, they should be hand-dried or heated to evaporate any remaining moisture. You should apply oil regularly on those grates as you would with cast iron pans. Once the grates are fully seasoned, they can handle a little more abuse.

As for other components, the lid and body are cast aluminum while the frame is glass-reinforced nylon.

Burner Layout:

The Weber Q3200 has two stainless steel burners: an O-shaped burner running along the edge and a horizontal tube burner. The burner duos combine for 21,700 BTUs per hour.

Unlike premium grills— where heat tents cover the burners to protect them from all sorts of drippings— the Q3200’s burners are exposed. Grillers have to deal with not just greasy messes but also flare-ups.

If you neglect cleaning duties long enough, the nozzles and orifices can clog up with residues. Lodged debris not only blocks ventilation but also lowers the grill’s overall lifespan and performance.

The Q3200 works with 20-pound liquid propane tanks. There’s a natural gas version that’s worth considering as well.

Additional Features:

An integrated thermometer on the lid helps you monitor temperatures inside the cookbox and thus make necessary adjustments. Also found on the lid is a grill light for slow-cooking sessions on moonless nights.

While the two side tables offer extra working space for busy grillers, they aren’t sturdy. They can handle lightweight items— utensils, dressings, plates— with limited quantity, or else they can bend, collapse, or break in half.

The cart provides maneuverability, albeit not with swivelable casters but all-terrain wheels. The cart also offers storage space, but once the fuel tank is in place, nothing else will fit.

The Q3200 is covered by a 5-year warranty.

Product Details:

• Two stainless steel burners produces 21,700 BTU-per-hour to heat 393 square-inch total cooking area
• Porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates and cast aluminum lid and body
• Grill-Out handle light. Battery type: AAA
• Easy-start electronic ignition and infinite control burner valve settings
• Operates on a 20 lb. LP tank (sold separately).Total cooking area (square inches):468.Warming rack area (square inches):75
• 3D interactive assembly instructions for this product are available through the free BILT app.

Pros:

• Space-saving design
• Adequate interior
• Side tables and cart
• Grill light
• Thermometer

Cons:

• Porcelain-enameled cast iron grate
• No heat tents

Verdict:

The Weber Q3200 is a great option for many grillers who don’t want to compromise firepower for compactness. It’s also part of our portable gas grills to buy this year.

Cuisinart CGG-180T Petit Gourmet

For frequent campers and picnickers, you’d need a gas grill built for the road with decent performance. Why not consider the Cuisinart CGG-180TS Petit Gourmet?

Cooking Area:

It takes little effort to carry the grill and it’s easy to find room for it inside a vehicle. The briefcase-shaped grill measures 18 inches wide by 16 inches deep by 12 inches tall.

On the other hand, sacrificing size for compactness, the whole cooking surface scales down to 145 square inches. It doesn’t even come close to adequate for a backyard party— though it should suffice for a group of two or three.

Material:

Other than the standard porcelain-enamel cast iron cooking grate, there isn’t anything else noteworthy.

Burner Layout:

A single tube burner yields a 5,550 BTUs input— which is barely enough. Though it won’t be hot enough for high-heat searing, you can still settle for simpler dishes.

As a propane-exclusive grill, you can fuel it with one-pound canisters, 20-pound cylinders, or an on-board propane tank in an RV.

Additional Features:

There’s a set of foldable aluminum stabilizing legs. It’s fine if you can find a table to set the grill, but in case you don’t, those legs will come in handy.

As of the moment, the CGG-180T comes in three color options: red, silver, and black. It’s under warranty for three years.

Product Details:

• Portable gas grill with 145-square-inch grilling area and foldaway legs
• Cooks 8 burgers, 8 steaks, 6 to 10 chicken breasts, or 4 pounds of fish
• Powerful 5,500 BTU stainless-steel burner and even-heating porcelain-enameled grate
• Aluminum legs and stabilizing feet set up in seconds; integrated lid lock keeps lid secure
• Pronounced briefcase-style carrying handle; weighs 13.5 pounds

Pros:

• Compact and portable
• Extendable legs
• Inexpensive

Cons:

• Limited surface area
• No extra features

Verdict:

The Cuisinart CGG-180T isn’t the fanciest or the flashiest grill, and it certainly has room for improvement. But all things considered, this grill is good enough to get the job done, and that’s all that matters.

Char-Broil Signature 425 3-Burner

The Char-Broil Signature 425 can soon be yours for a reasonable price. It’s a three-burner gas grill with a searing station and other amenities.

Cooking Area:

The primary grilling surface provides 425 square inches while the warming rack adds another 165 square inches, tallying up 590 square inches.

Material:

Stainless steel is reserved for various important parts— the grates, burners, and heat tents. At this price, it’s surprising that the side tables are also stainless steel.

Burner Layout:

The Signature 425 features three conventional tube burners— each produces 8,000 BTUs per hour— combining for 24,000 BTUs altogether. If you need a separate burner for other tasks— say searing steaks or reheating cooked items— the side burner can contribute 13,000 BTUs on its own.

You’ll be pleased to hear that this grill is compatible with both propane and natural gas.

Additional Features:

A built-in analog thermometer lets you keep an eye on the heat inside the cook box. There are also two side tables for prepping food and storage.

A set of swivelable and lockable casters offers effortless movement, while the bottom cabinet holds the propane tank in place when you’re shifting the grill around.

Product Details:

• Make sure this fits by entering your model number.
• 3-Burner, 24,000-btu premium cabinet gas grill with 13,000-btu lidded side burner
• 425 square inches of primary cooking on solid stainless-steel grates plus 165 square inches of secondary cooking on solid stainless-steel warming rack
• Durable stainless-steel construction, and dual fuel compatible for easy conversion from propane to natural gas
• Stainless steel v-shaped firebox and top-ported burners for more efficient and great zonal cooking
• Removable grease pan for easy cleanup, tank gauge for monitoring lp level and surefire electronic ignition for a reliable spark at every burner
• Easily converts from liquid propane(lp) to natural gas(ng) with natural gas conversion kit (sold separately)

Pros:

• Reasonable price
• Stainless steel components
• Lid-mounted thermometer
• Searing side burner
• Swivelable casters

Cons:

• Quite small
• No tool hooks

Verdict:

For a budget gas grill, the Char-Broil Signature 425 holds its ground well enough against other competitors. It has all the making of a luxurious grill but doesn’t cost as much as one.

Weber Spirit E-210

If you’re looking for a streamlined gas grill with decent heating performance, look no further than the Weber Spirit E-210.

Cooking Area:

The primary grilling surface provides 360 square inches. An additional 90 square inches from the warming rack brings the final tally to 450 square inches altogether.

Material:

The two burner tubes are stainless steel and under warranty up to 10 years. The side tables are also stainless steel.

Other components are porcelain-enameled— including the cast iron grates, flavorizer bars, and the lid— while the cabinet doors are painted steel. There is also an easy-access grease tray.

Burner Layout:

The two burners combine for 26,500 BTUs per hour, which is impressive by all accounts. To start up the burner, you’d need one double-A battery cell for the built-in spark-plug.

The propane-exclusive E-210 uses 20-pound fuel tanks, available at any gas station or camping equipment shop.

Additional Features:

You can find a lid-mounted thermometer, a common feature found on many grills.

Two 29.5-inch wide fold-down side tables let you place various food trays, condiments, and spices. There are also six tool hooks to keep cooking utensils within an arm’s reach.

For the propane tank, you can keep it inside the cabinet underneath. A set of swivelable and lockable casters adds maneuverability.

You can further equip the E-210 with other novelties, including an overhead grill light for late-night grilling sessions and a rotisserie system. These add-ons are available for purchase on multiple online retail sites or Weber’s official site.

Product Details:

• Your purchase includes One Weber Spirit E-210 Liquid Propane Gas Grill. Cover is not included | Assembly required
• Grill dimensions: Lid Open – 63″ H x 50″ W x 32″ D | Lid Closed – 45.5″ H x 50″ W x 24″ D | Primary cooking area – 360 square inches | Warming rack area – 90 square inches | Total cooking area – 450 square inches/20.4” W x 17.5” D | Weight – 113.8
• Heavy-duty caster wheels for easily moving your grill on grass or a patio
• Built to last with heavy duty, porcelain-enameled lid and cook box that will not rust or peal over time
• Six tool hooks for easy accessibility of grilling tools. Low maintenance and easy-to-clean grease Management system

Pros:

• Sufficient heating
• Thermometer
• Side tables and cabinet
• Swivelable casters
• Tool hooks
• Grill light and rotisserie

Cons:

• Expensive

Verdict:

Granted, the Weber Spirit E-210 could be cheaper, but we doubt you can find a gas grill with reliable performance and feature-laden design like this one.

Oklahoma Joe Longhorn

A grill-smoker combo is already a rare sight, let alone a gas-fueled model. The Oklahoma Joe Longhorn has something to say about that. This massive grill-smoker hybrid runs on both charcoal and propane, and is a sight to behold.

Cooking Area:

You’ll find 750 square inches of primary surface and another 310 square inches from the secondary surface. That’s 1,060 square inches in total— the largest to be featured in this article. You can cook several slabs of briskets, racks of ribs, or chickens with plenty of room to spare.

Oklahoma Joe’s official website also provides visualization of the dimensions, putting things into perspective.

Material:

The Longhorn has three separate cooking chambers with distinct functions— one smoker box, one charcoal cookbox, and one propane cookbox.

Both the cooking grates and charcoal grates are porcelain-enameled cast iron— second only to stainless steel, but close enough for us.

Other components include a black painted side shelf, cool-touch handles, and a grease tray.

Burner Layout:

The trio of stainless steel burners— each offering 12,000 BTUs— handles the Longhorn’s gas department. Each burner has its own ignition sparker and a temperature knob for easy management. There’s also a side burner on the right— also registering 12,000 BTUs.

Additional Features:

Except for the smoker box, each cooking chamber has a thermometer mounted on the lid to call its own.

The Longhorn has a wagon-style body with a bottom rack for storage. Granted, there’s a set of wheels for mobility, but they aren’t swivelable or lockable. Be careful when turning corners and choosing the grill’s landing spot.

Product Details:

• 1,060 total square inch cooking surface
• 750 square inch primary cooking surface in main chamber over porcelain-coated cast iron grates. Number of grates: 6
• 310 square inch cooking surface in firebox chamber
• 3x 12,000 BTU Burners, (36,000 BTU’s total) in gas grilling chamber
• 12,000 BTU side burner accommodates charcoal chimney starter
• Professional temperature gauge for accurate monitoring in both cooking chambers
• Firebox door with air damper for added convenience and easy clean-up

Pros:

• 3-in-1 design
• Separate thermometers
• Cart
• Side burner and smoker box

Cons:

• Bulky
• Expensive
• Non-swivelable caster

Verdict:

The all-encompassing Oklahoma Joe Longhorn is a unique grill-smoker combo that deserves a big shoutout. The charcoal-gas duality makes it one of the most versatile grills on the market.

Weber Genesis II E-435 Four-Burner

Picking out the grill to represent a whole brand is no easy task, given how Weber has no shortage of high quality models. But if we’re pressured to make an educated guess, you can never go wrong with the Weber Genesis II E-435 Four-Burner.

Cooking Area:

You’ll get a primary grilling surface measuring 646 square inches and 198 square inches from the tuck-away warming rack, totaling 844 square inches. Weber claims it can handle up to 28 burger patties.

Material:

All burners and flavorizer bars are stainless steel. Meanwhile, the cast iron grates and lid are porcelain-enameled. Other parts include a welded tube frame, painted steel cabinet doors, and a grease tray.

Burner Layout:

The four primary burners— 12,000 BTUs each— can work together or independently as needed. Each burner has a separate ignition sparker using one double-A battery cell.

Secondary firepower comes from the sear station burner and side burner— 9,000 BTUs and 12,000 BTUs, respectively. The E-435 is designed to work with 20-pound LP tanks, available at many gas stations, grocery stores, and convenience stores.

Additional Features:

Given this grill’s price tag, you can expect to find an assortment of extras other than immense heating. Let’s see what else’s in store:

two fold-down stainless steel side tables with six tool hooks;
a lid-mounted thermometer;
swivelable, lockable casters for smooth maneuverability; and
a cabinet for the LP tank.

Other than those, the E-435 is also iGrill 3-compatible. It’s a Wi-Fi controllable thermometer designed just for Weber grills. It comes with all sorts of smart-control features which will be handy for busy, multitasking grillers.

The thing is: the iGrill 3 is an additional purchase that doesn’t come along when you buy the grill. You can order it through many retail websites or Weber’s homepage, though.

For many grillers, the Genesis II E-435 can be overwhelming, in terms of size and budget alike. If you aren’t ready for it just yet, how about something easier on the wallet and less space-taking— say, like the Weber Spirit II E-310 Three-Burner?

Product Details:

• GS4 high performance grilling system featuring infinity ignition, high-performance burners, stainless steel flavorizer bars and a grease management system
• 4 stainless steel high-performance burners, 1 side burner and 1 sear station burner deliver up to 69,000 BTUs of combined output
• Porcelain-enameled, cast-iron cooking grates provide superior heat retention
• Ample Cooking Surface. Up to 844 sq in, including the tuck-away warming rack.
• Compatible with iGrill 3. The iGrill 3 monitors food from beginning to end, and notifies you once it has reached the perfect temperature
• 10 year warranty, 100% Weber guarantee
• 3D interactive assembly instructions for this product are available through the free BILT app.

Pros:

• Side burners included
• Thermometer
• iGrill 3-compatible
• Cabinet
• Swivelable casters
• Side table

Cons:

• Expensive

Verdict:

If we’re to point out a minus point for this otherwise well-rounded grill: the exorbitant price tag. But all in all, the Weber Genesis II E-435 is a premium gas grill with so much to offer. And it’ll be worth every dime in the long run.

Weber Q1200 – Best Tabletop Gas Grill

The Weber Q1200 is a travel-size gas grill that can whip up a decent meal in minutes. The space-saving design means you won’t have much trouble fitting this grill inside a car or finding a spot for it on an outdoor table.

Cooking Area:

Since the Q1200’s selling points are compactness, the grilling surface offers 189 square inches with no warming rack. Weber claims it can cook for two or three adults.

Material:

The cooking grate is porcelain-enameled cast iron. Other components include a glass-reinforced nylon frame, cast aluminum lid and body. There is also a grease tray, though it’s smaller than ones found in full-size gas grills.

Burner Layout:

A single stainless steel burner handles all cooking tasks. Its heating capacity of 8,500 BTUs per hour is understandably inferior compared to others. Though the heat isn’t intense enough for searing, you can still make other common BBQ dishes. The ignition uses one triple-A battery cell to start the fire.

Additional Features:

The two fold-down side shelves are a nice touch, but they can hold no more than a few lightweight items. Besides, if you can find a table for the grill, you wouldn’t need these shelves anyway. You’ll also spot a lid-mounted thermometer.

Product Details:

• One stainless steel burner produces 8500 BTU-per-hour to heat 189 square-inch total cooking area
• Porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates and cast aluminum lid and body
• Dimensions – lid closed and tables out (inches): 15.5H x 40.9W x 16.5D inches. Fully assembled out of box. Uses disposable 14.1 or 16.4 oz. LP cylinder (sold separately)
• Easy-start electronic ignition and infinite control burner valve settings
• Care instructions: Handling the brass material on this product exposes you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. (Wash hands after handling this product.)
• GLASS-REINFORCED NYLON FRAME
• 3D interactive assembly instructions for this product are available through the free BILT app.

Pros:

• Solid performance
• Compact design
• Thermometer
• Inexpensive

Cons:

• Flimsy side shelves

Verdict:

Though there are certain aspects that could have been improved, the Weber Q1200 nonetheless delivers results. It’d be hard to pass on this grill, which passes as a quick cooking option on the road or small gatherings.

Conclusion:

Thanks for taking the time to read The Best Gas Grill Review Guide For 2023-2024.
