Glad I found this forum, seems like a great bunch of like-minded folks. I've enjoyed grilling for about 40 years and barbecuing for about 15. In the early 90s I got one of the very early gas-lit Performers. I loved that grill and sometimes regret selling it. I used to have an annual sales meeting where I cooked for a crowd and bought a couple Bar-B-Kettles that got used once a year for 3 or 4 years. I gave one to a nephew a couple years ago, but I still have one that I take out of hibernation every once in a while. When not it use, it gets cleaned up, taken apart and put back in the factory carton. I do most of my cooking on a Medium sized Big Green Egg that I bought in 1999. In 2008 I bought a Large BGE that I use for turkeys, multiple pork butts, ribs and paella...basically anything that won't fit in the Medium, which isn't all that much.
I haven't owned a gas grill for 25 years, but I'm about to give myself permission to get one for quick evening meals through the week. I'm leaning toward a Weber Q series, and that's how I found this forum. Looks like a solid, versatile little grill that I could use and put away. Seems to be more popular in England and Australia than it is here.
Anyway, that's why I showed up here...to learn about the Q...but it's nice to find a community of outdoor cooks without the snobbiness that I encounter on the BGE forums. It's all smoke, fire and animal muscle...what you put it in doesn't matter, just how you treat it.
