About - Weber Weber Q 100
The Weber Q 100 is a gas grill available from Weber. The Weber Q 100 typically costs between $121.60 - $169.00. Consumer Reports recommends that you match the features on a model to the needs you have. Here's our take on some of the specifications and features that are commonly available on gas grill models like the Weber Q 100. Coated-cast-iron grates: The grill's primary cooking grates may be made of porcelain coated cast-iron, which generally sears meats better and keeps grilling temperatures more consistent than grates made of porcelain coated steel. The porcelain coating usually makes such grates easier to clean than other surfaces, and the grates should resist rust as long as their porcelain coating isn't chipped.

About This Brand
This brand, known for its durability and dependability, went through an entire line and design change in 2007. Weber is known for its quality products in the midpriced to high-priced categories, and grills that feature coated cast-iron and stainless-steel-rod cooking grates and long-warranty stainless-steel burners. (The company offers a natural-gas version for most of its grills.) Weber recently introduced an infrared-searing station on some of its grills, updated its Q line of portable grills, and added colors to its entire lineup. Weber grills are available at many retailers nationwide. Grills range in price from $130 to $3,000. Note that Weber acquired Ducane about four years ago.

Features & Specs - Weber Weber Q 100
Stainless-steel grates Primary cooking grates made of stainless-steel are generally sturdier than those made of coated steel and resist rust even without a porcelain coating. Stainless-steel grates	No
Coated-cast-iron grates The grill's primary cooking grates may be made of porcelain coated cast-iron, which generally sears meats better and keeps grilling temperatures more consistent than grates made of porcelain coated steel. The porcelain coating usually makes such grates easier to clean than other surfaces, and the grates should resist rust as long as their porcelain coating isn't chipped. Coated-cast-iron grates	Yes

Side burner A side burner, which resembles a gas-stove burner and has its own heat control, is handy if you want to cook vegetables or sauce without leaving the grill. Side burner	No

Burner can be located as the main burner, side burner, rotisserie burner, or any combination of burners. Infrared burner	No

I was initially skeptical about the Weber Q series as they really don't look that different from your average 100 dollar BBQ assides from style. However, the higher price is well worth it!! After 2 terrible 100-150 dollar range BBQ's, this one is incredible. If you need a small BBQ but wish you could afford/have space for a big Weber, this is your grill.

How long have you owned it:

Bottom Line:

Long lasting and effort free. Our grill has to live outside even in the winter because of our very small house. And we like to grill all winter. Rust would compel us to replace grill every 2 or 3 years. We have had this for over 3 years now and there is no sign of rust. The electronic starter even still works. It heats quickly and evenly. Thermometer is built in to the hood. It is difficult to get it down to really low temps (140 - 200) and a rotisserie solution was only possible because I put this unit in the shell of my old grill. On a positive note, you could take this with you on a picnic an run it off a bottle of gas that you use for your blow torch. It even has a canister holder for the bottle.
