Weber Q 220 temperature ?????

Re: Weber Q 220 temperature ?????
Someone must have the same model mine is either a dud or I am seriously thinking of upgrading all ready.
Re: Weber Q 220 temperature ?????
Hi Keith, mine when it was spanking new went over 320'c but now a few months on top dollar seems to have settled at about 295'c. The variation in my temps may be due to wind or different ambient temps.
Re: Weber Q 220 temperature ?????
Melb weather has not been actually cold lately either, no worries there.
Re: Weber Q 220 temperature ?????
Can't beat Weber CS!! I assume it's on natural gas from the picture showing the bayonet fitting. No natural gas BBQ will not hit the same temps as the same BBQ on LPG.
Re: Weber Q 220 temperature ?????
Nah Nah I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with your 220. There certainly is. All I'm saying is a NG BBQ won't get to the same temp as the same BBQ on LPG. Doesn't matter if it's a Weber or Beefeater or whatever. If you had your old BBQ beside an LPG version of the same BBQ the LPG model will always get hotter than the NG version.
Re: Weber Q 220 temperature ?????
I fully understand that I went to NG practically right from the start as it was far more convenient for me and now as I am no longer driving it is a lot better for me.

Grilling during cold weather presents some unique challenges. When it's very cold out, make sure to allow extra time to preheat your grill. Keep the lid closed as much as possible.

Weber Q 220 Assembly
Overall the challenge of putting it all together wasn’t too bad. The Weber Q 220 Unboxing took about thirty minutes. The plasticky (in a good way) stand took another thirty minutes. Total time was about an hour. I’m sure if you really focused in you could get it done faster. I stopped for a beer :).
Fire Power
I still feel like I’m not getting as strong or as hot of a flame as I think I should. Next step may be to try to return the reulator attachment (some other online reviews give props to Weber for good support on this). I have had sketchy regulators in the past and my conclusion is that they are all maybe a bit too safe for safety purposes.
The Weber Q 220 Stand
The Weber Q220 works great with or without the stand (looks pretty nifty with or without too). Extra note if you plan to try to use the Weber Q with a larger propane tank as I do in the video you will need the special adapter hose. Purchased separately.
Solid BBQ that will last for years
I'll split this review into the good points and the negatives. Good: * It has no trouble getting up to high temperatures, enough to give a lovely sear on a steak. * Seems to be quite efficient on gas. * The convection technology works very well, I'll often roast a beef rump cap or whole chicken on the bbq and the flavour is absolutely fantastic. * The grille itself and the cart are very well built, never had any trouble with components breaking or rust. * It's nice and portable.
Fantastic customer service
Weber's service is exceptional, my igniter had stopped working I called weber customer service and explained I had tried multiple fixes they immediately agreed to send a replacement part. It arrived the next morning and everything is working perfectly. This is how customer service should be and why people are loyal to the brand. Thanks Weber
Best barbeque I have ever owned
Had for 5 years loved it, wife bought me a zigler and brown, had it for a year now nowhere near as good as the weber, will be buying another weber very soon.
Used to love it, not now
I bought this three years ago as an investment BBQ in red for my husband. Its been used carefully but despite this, the paint has started falling off. I would expect a reputable brand such as Weber to stand normal use. Disappointed to say the least. Would not recommend Weber again.
Webber Q. Awesome all rounder
Bought this from the Good guys. Should probably do a review from them as well. This BBQ is awesome. It roasts, smokes, slow cooks. Have made some of the best roast pork with the best crackle ever.
Excellent customer service!
I have a Weber Q & the grill broke in half. I called the Weber 1300 number & got a lovely man & they are going to replace it for me. This is a great bbq & great customer service. It is well worth the initial outlay. It’s also good for making pizzas in
Fantastic BBQ!!
I purchased the BBQ as a birthday present for my husband a few years ago. We got the high top for cooking roast and it also has the thermometer. It is able to cook steaks so they remain full of flavour without drying out or burning. Roasts are cooked to perfection and the vegetables can be placed to the sides, saving washing up.
