I did tons of reseach on this grill before purchasing it and found 99% ofall the reviews I read were very high. So we decided to try it. We were not dissapointed. This grill is very easy to put together and ready to go in no time. We found the propane tanks at the local Lowes for 2.49 so that was never a problem. We bought our Weber Q for our RV so I was a little hesitant because it does not have wheels, but the first time I used it I knew I was in love. This grill toasted our english muffins just like our toaster at home. It grilled our steaks with ease even leaving the grill marks like I like. If you are like me and hesitant, I am here to tell you this is the best grill ever and you will not be unhappy with this choice. The only draw back in my opinion is the weight, it is a little heave and kinda of bulky. I highly reccommend getting the doufel bag to store it in. Overall a great grill that is built to last. If you take a look at the Coleman Road Trip grills you will see that they are dropping in price every day, must be for a reason. Happy Grilling!

I did a lot of research before I chose the Weber Q220 (566002). I wanted it to be able to cook a lot of food but also be able to be occassionally portable. Any larger grill with more burners and it is pretty much taking the portability out. Its already big and heavy enough. The customer reviews for this product were right on target. It is an excellent grill especially for the price. The porcelain-enameled cast-iron grate is great as it is very durable and cooks evenly. In my opinion, it is better than the Weber Spirit’s grill. And if you are concerned about indirect cooking because it has one burner, don’t worry! It is possible by simply using the Weber Roast holder and aluminum foil. I would recommend the stationary cart that COMES WITH THE ADAPTER, Weber roast holder, cover and ofcourse the Weber tools. Weber is simply the best!

First off, let me say I love this grill. It is fantastic.
Cons:
-Grill is a little on the heavy side. Cast iron grate, quality components and a sturdy base all combine to make this a little heavier than other portable grills. This is compared to my last portable grill, a shoddy lightweight grill made by Coleman.
Pros:
-Cast iron cooking surface. This is my first time with cast iron as opposed to the skinny stainless steel wires that most grills have. I’ll never go back.
-Solid construction. Every piece looks and feels like it was made with quality materials.
-Two side tables. What can I say, they’re extra useful
-Thermometer
-Taller grill lid than the q200 series. Lets you cook a larger roast or something else tall. Probably wont fit a Beer can chicken though (although I’m definitely going to try)
-Utensil hooks for grilling tools
-Precision flame control
-Fits a variety of propane tanks (you may need the adapter, sold separately)
-Has an excellent line up of accessories. I’ve also go the rolling cart on the way, it looks great.
Don’t forget to buy the duffel or vinyl cover if you’re going to be storing this outside. You wouldn’t want dust and pet hair to cover your hardcore grilling machine.
100% satisfied, A+ product.
Followup (April 6, 2010):
I ended up buying a couple of accessories that I think really bring this grill together. We live in a apartment, and I find each of these to be indispensable:
Weber 6551 Vinyl Cover for Weber Q, Q-200, and Q-220 Gas Grills
Weber 6507 Rolling Cart
Weber 6503 Q Handle Light

I had looked at several portable style grills and based on other reviews I chose the Weber Q220. I am so happy with it. I had originally bought it for tailgating etc but now I find myself using it at home instead of my full size grill. The quality is excellent and set up was a snap. Creates professional looking grill marks and gets nice and hot to sear a steak or tuna and still have it nice and rare in the middle.
The only caveat I would add is that the gas tanks are not the normal green round ones you think you would use. They are actually longer and skinnier. I have been able to find them easily at my local true value store so I am sure you can too. But just a head’s up about the gas tanks!

Excellent BBQ grill. I previously owned the Weber Go-Anywhere propane grill and enjoyed it, but found the igniter very temperamental. So after researching the web for a few weeks and going to a couple of stores to “kick the tires” I decided on the q220 and I’m glad I did! This grill is fantastic the electronic ignition is a breeze and I’ve found myself grilling more than ever. When I received the grill it was missing the thermometer, so I called Weber and they sent me a new one right away.

I love my grill. It makes everything taste amazing. It is great to take around in the trunk of your car. I almost bought the 100 series, but i saw one in the store a few weeks later and I am glad I didnt because that thing looks like you could cook about 4 burgers on it. This ones is adequately sized to cook whatever you want, plus it does a great job, and it fits in the trunk of you car. What more could you ask for? I went through 3 of the lowes grills like the Blue Rhino, and Perfect flame and ended up returning them all for either defective parts or extremely poor quality. This one is unbelievably better than those in both construction and performance. It was definitely worth the money. I will probably buy weber grills the rest of my life.

I bought this grill this year (I bought the Q100 model) after years of cheap-o grills from Walmart, etc. It is terrific, mostly because of the heavy grill. I think it’s even cast iron if I’m not mistaken. When you get the grill nice and hot, it sears meat beautifully. Perfect size for me as I am single, but def. would work comfortably for dinner for 4. Thanks Webber!

I bought this grill (online) to replace the latest in a series of disappointing (and increasingly expensive) backyard BBQ’s that were costing me $100 worth of repair parts and considerable grief every year. Having had a single Weber charcoal grill for 25 years I knew they knew BBQ and quality. Reviewing the features of the Q series, it appeared to me ( as an engineer and discriminating BBQ’r,) that they had “a better idea. ”
That said, the Weber web site is disappointing and tells you very little about the size and differences between the various Q series grills.
Ok, here goes.
My grill arrived standing on end in an apparent “rough delivery”. Opening the box I saw that it was packed SUPER securely with multiple layers of form fit HD card/ fiber board. Impressive packaging. . No damage. From there it took all of 5 minutes to assemble. Two pins for the cover, two screws for the handle , a nut for the thermometer . ANYBODY could do this in 10 min (with no more than a screwdriver.) I got the Q 220 model which is their, higher end, mid sized portable. Overall closed size is 31″ long x 16″ wide (with the cover handle and hinges sticking out a few more inch’s on each side . ). Closed height is approx 16″ off the table/ground. Grill surface area is slightly football shaped and has a max dimension of 15″wx 21″ long. The grill /grate itself is a 1 piece, massively heavy, ceramic coated cast iron with solid sections that protect the burner below from drippings (Very smart feature!) The cover of the Q220 is approx 7″ tall in the center and includes a thermometer. (BTW, that similar in height as a 22″ charcoal Weber and 1″ taller than the 200) IMHO, the grill size is “just right” for a home grill that can still double for the occasional trip to the park or grandma’s. It’s still light enough for one person to carry @ 36# (w cyl) and small enough to get into your truck but big enough to grill for a extended family. ( It will hold about 12 ¼ # burgers (or 9 and 8 dogs) at one time. Just as important, the mass of the cast iron allows you to cook predictably fast and rotate food through with a decent rate/speed. The extra cover height makes it adequate to grill a whole chicken, ½ turkey or family sized roast.
As for performance, I was initially worried about the 12,500 BTU rating (which was 1/3 of my large grill.) However, with the combination of smaller cooking area , cast aluminum body and heavy grill, I’ll tell you that this grill can bury the thermometer needle @ 600deg F in just 15 min after hitting the ( upgraded/more reliable) igniter . I.e. She gets HOT ! Cooking steaks seems to take ½ the time of even my stainless behemoth 42,000BTU BBQ.! Best of all when it’s time to flip them, you still get that satisfying Sizzle that tells you the grill has enough reserve heat to sear the other side. ( Nothing worse than a baked $10 steak IMHO) The design is that good! One last note: The shape of the grill funnels all drippings to the easily removable /disposable waste pan. This makes the possibility of a flash fire (and /or dumping old grease everywhere ) much less likely.

We bought this product for a specific purpose, NASCAR tailgating. It is compact, dependable and does an excellent job of cooking.

I just received my Q220 grill yesterday. I was able to assemble it without the manual (a man thing)in about 10 minutes. I am very impressed with the design and quality of this grill. I am waiting for the adapter to attach it to my propane tank. I ordered the stainless steel adaptor.
