Been looking for a BBQ for the backyard.
The Weber Portable series comes with the versatility of being used in the backyard as well as for outdoors trips.
Both colours Black/Silver, and Black are available.
Stacks with either cashback (2% @ Cashrewards → $391.94), or the [Targeted] $10 Myer one Voucher offer (→ $389.20).
The Weber Q1000 is also available for $287.20.
What about cleaning it? Does it take you long ?
I dump and run after using it. I want to eat my dinner.
Next time I go to use I preheat at max heat for 5 minutes then use the wire grill brush to break up the now hardened scraps. Comes up brand new.
About every 6th use, before firing up, I remove the plates and scrape all the scraps into the alfoil tray through the large drip hole.
Then approximately every 4 weeks I spend about 20 minutes giving the unit a deep clean. A squirt of detergent, a stiff kitchen brush and the garden hose is all it takes. Air dry. Reassemble. Done. Did I mention I love Weber?
They are much quicker and easier to clean than those old school 4/6 burner trolley junk BBQ's. In fact there is no comparison to the cooking either. Ditch the trolley BBQ and get a Weber. Thank me later.
I'm usually cooking things that require a flat plate, like eggs and fish fillets … Would you still recommend?
@segfault: Yes. I have the 1/2 hot plate
Use it for onions etc (or anything that would fall to through the grill). I cook the occasional breakfast and eggs come out well. We don't eat fish (just not seafoody people) so can't comment on that sorry but i think weber make an attachment for fish.
@segfault: Yes, just get a BBQ hot plate liner sheet for $10
I pretty much cook everything on my Webber on one of those sheets. It makes cleanup so much easier
@segfault: I can confirm that cooking salmon fillets on the weber 1/2 hot plate are really good. The skin will come out really crispy and it doesn't stick, just put a bit of oil and only turn it once.
Weber have many trolley BBQs in their catalogue so not sure what you mean with "dump the trolley BBQ and get a Weber".
@Laziofogna: You have misquoted me. Read the paragraph as a whole.

@Muzeeb: Yeah, nah "In fact there is no comparison to the cooking either. Ditch the trolley BBQ and get a Weber." 😉
I’ve never cleaned my Weber q and I’ve had it for a year. There’s really no need besides using a wire brush and scraping the plate, wipe with paper towel. I wouldn’t go spraying water in it, I let it burn off a bit but unlike other bbqs I’ve had, it never has old shit managing to start fires etc, all the fat goes into the drip pan, and I think as the gas burner is in a rounded formation, it burns crap off easily. Then again, it’s not as if I eat overly greasy food on it. Cooked like 4kg of sausages as a once off on it, besides that smaller amounts of food.
Looking forward to it myself.
I'm pretty sure if you use the $10 myer one reward with shopback, it will void the cashback.
spend the extra money get the higher hood with thermometer & electronic ignition from weber
cleaning is a breeze for those asking as it drains into a foil container, it's easy to clean with a hose etc too
higher hood with thermometer & electronic ignition
Which model is this?
Q1200, Q2200 etc only weber sell them no 3rd party retailers
Where does 8% come from? I can only see 4%?
@dwarves: Cashback was upsized when the deal was first posted but expired 23 minutes later. (The deal has now been fixed.)
oh no! Just pulled the trigger on the Gasmate https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/705790. Oh well, there is always a next time.
Does this come ready to connect to an LPG bottle out of the gate or do you need a different connector?
ready to connect
I've needed a bbq for the backyard since moving into the new place recently, but haven't done much research. Anyone want to be a darling and give me a quick high level overview of all the Weber models and the differences in the Q series? (Gas, electric etc?) thank you :)
weber is one of the best out there, it's warrant is excellent and customer service brilliant. The Q series last forever and are very easy to clean & maintain. Q1000 is the baby, portable & good to take camping, Q2000 series is medium size can still take camping but big enough for the backyard to feed the family / friends. Both are single burner. Q3000 series is the big one for family / parties and is dual burner. Gas is the way to go over electric
Honestly, if its not the high lid its not worth it.
We use our Weber 3-4 nights a week. Grills the best veggies especially asparagus, broccolini, eggplant and zucchini. Chicken fillets are my favourite - slap it in a brioche roll with caramelised onions. Dinner sorted and cooked in 15 minutes. I love you Weber.
