As you would expect from Weber, this grill is of high quality and easy to use. It has been designed for on the go grilling as well as grilling in your backyard.
To find out more, let’s go through our Weber Q2200 Liquid Propane Grill review…
Weber Q2200 Overview
This model delivers 12,000 BTUs and comes with a single D-shaped burner. There are 280 square inches of cooking space, which is sufficient to cook food for around four two six people.
One of the best features of this model is that it is designed to fit on a tabletop. It can be used to cook at home or while on a camping trip. This grill boasts high-quality porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates that deliver even heat distribution while also being easy to clean.
Additional Specifications
This model weighs 42 pounds and is available in a wide range of colors. There is a possible conversion for full-sized propane tanks. The dimensions with the lid closed and the side tables extended are 15.5 inches high by 51.4 wide by 19.5 inches deep.
Weber Q2200 Design
Both the body and lid of this grill have been made of sturdy and durable cast aluminum. The overall design of this model is robust and sturdy, and the cover is designed to form a tight seal so that your food cooks more quickly when the lid is down.
The manufacturer recommends using either 14.1oz or 16.4oz cylinders to power the grill. However, it is possible to purchase a separate Q Adapter Hose and then connect the grill to a 20-pound tank. Although the 20-pound tank will limit the portability of the grill, it is a good option for home use.
The Setup Process
The Weber Q2200 Liquid Propane Grill comes fully assembled in the box. This helps to make the setup process remarkably quick and easy. In fact, you can complete the entire process in ten minutes or less.
You are treated to detailed instructions that break the setup process down into six simple steps. Make sure that you unwrap all the components and familiarize yourself with them before beginning assembly. You can also find 3D interactive assembly instructions for this grill through the free BILT app.
The Cooking Grates
You are provided with a pair of porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates. Not only are the grates highly durable, but the porcelain coating also makes it quick and easy to clean.
You have the option of using both of the grates simultaneously or just one. One grate is about sufficient to cook four medium-sized chunks of meat.
The Side Tables
You are provided with a pair of side tables that fold out from the central grill. While these side tables have been made of plastic, they are reinforced with glass to make them stronger. Still, it’s best to limit the amount of food that you stack on the side tables.
The main benefit of these side tables is that they provide an extra work surface while you are grilling. You can rest your plates and other tools on the tables without concern. This is just as well because the Q2200 does not feature the tool hooks that are present in different models.
A tip…
The tables are designed to fold under the lid of the Q2200. It is a good idea to hold onto the cardboard that is shipped along with them so you can place the cardboard in between the grates and the side tables to prevent scratching during transportation.
Electric Ignition System
Even on a windy day, you can be sure that this grill will light the first time, every day. This is due to the innovative electric ignition system. This eliminates the need to light the fire manually and is sure to save a lot of time and trouble.
To get things off to a smooth start, you are provided with a battery for the electric ignition system, which allows you to fire up the grill and start cooking straight away.
Built-in Thermometer
A large thermometer has been recessed into the lid of this grill. This allows you to monitor the internal temperature of the grill when the lid is closed, which means you do not have to compromise the internal temperature by opening and closing the lid.
The thermometer is large enough so that it can be read at a distance. If you are the type of cook who appreciates precision, you are sure to love this feature. Even when the lid is up, you can still read the thermometer reasonably easily if you need to.
Removable Drip Pan
A large drip tray is folded inside the grill and specially placed so that it remains cool at all times. It is designed to catch all the juices from meat as it cooks. You can then use these juices to add extra flavor to your stocks and sauces.
Cleaning…
The tray can be removed quickly and easily for convenient cleaning. Because the tray remains cool at all times, you can remove it even when the grill is on, and this is sure to eliminate most of the mess that is usually generated during the grilling process.
Cooking Performance
All of the grills in the Weber series are known for their even cooking, and this model is no exception. Although you are likely to find a few hot spots, the heat distribution is generally very even. However, the single burner limits the versatility of the cooking experience, especially when it comes to indirect cooking.
The Weber Q2200 Liquid Propane Grill heats up quickly and can easily reach 550°F. Once the desired temperature is reached, it will hold the temperature well with the lid down. This makes it quick and easy to sear steaks to perfection.
Effortless…
The domed lid provides enough space to fit a whole chicken or a large roast underneath. Even at the lowest setting, you are sure to find that this grill is pretty hot. The cooking experience has been well-designed to be almost effortless.
Portability
At a weight of 42 pounds, the Weber Q2200 is more cumbersome than many other grills in its class. However, the extra weight will not be an issue if you are driving to the campsite. You are also able to transport the grates separately to help make the grill more comfortable to carry.
Cool-touch handle…
This model is compact enough to stand on a camping table and comes with a large and sturdy carrying handle. The handle is constructed to stay cool to the touch for extra safety. All in all, you’re sure to find that this model is easy to take on trips for outdoor cooking.
Warranty
The Weber Q2200 Liquid Propane Grill comes with a comprehensive five-year warranty, which is sure to provide you with confidence. And, with the proper care and attention, you can be sure that this grill will last much longer than five years.
