I came to this forum to get advise as I was intent on buying a 620. Thanks to reading a bunch of threads here and asking Mr. Hartcher many questions directly, I decided a Q220 would be my best choice for my needs (and save a bunch of money to boot!). The price you paid was dirt cheap, I've...

I have the Q220 and love it. I recently purchased it and have been cooking up a storm on it although it is on a stand, unlike the way you intend to use it. For your needs I think a couple 100s would do just fine. I've never used one but I can't imagine it not being suitable for hot dogs and...

I just got my Q220 also and I've been experimenting but not yet with smoke (other than cedar plank salmon). If you have a few grills around, like me and Mr. Hartcher who has many, your problem may be solved. I have a big Kenmore that smokes really, really well. For some reason the smoke...

A Weber Master Jedi. I like that! I've already tried a couple of your recipes including the perfect steak and the cedar planked salmon. I did not have the brown sugar so I used a glaze instead and I think that overpowered the cedar. Either that I or did not let the plank smoke enough. But...

Phil has lots of grills because he cooks everything to perfection and needs the versatility to do so. I have lots of grills because I don't know how to cook anything and I'm constantly looking for the magic fix. I have a big Kenmore gas grill, just bought a Weber Q220, two indoor electric...

Well, I fired up the grill for the first time and did everything right - almost. I had two, thick sirloins which I had at room temperature and I put olive oil on them along with minced garlic, pepper and a touch of sea salt. I turn on the Q for ten minutes (it was a little over 500 degrees)...

Excellent! That solves the issue and I have made a copy of your step by step process to place with my cookbook.

I received my Q220 the other day and could not be happier with the ease of assembly, looks and heat I get out of this thing. I was suppose to have a cookout to try it out but things fell through so I only fired it up to see how hot it got and how quickly. It was near 100 degrees here in Texas...

Thanks for the tips. The instructions that came with the grill said to oil the meat, not the grill. I've always oiled the grill and I don't see where it makes any difference since the oil will be on the grates one way or another. I'll try your way. As far as Norman is concerned, well, all I...

Thirty bucks? You stole it! Anyway, you did a terrific job in the restoration. When my Q gets that old I'll give you a call!

Well, I did it. I just ordered the Q-220. None of the stores nearby had any in stock so I relied on the internet to buy it and also some accessories. My last post asked about an alleged regulator problem but I figure this must be an uncommon thing as the vast number of reviews I read never...

Thanks to you and Davo I am now considering the Q220. I read on Amazon.com that if there is a widespread regulator issue with this model, especially when you use the adapter hose for the 20 lb tank. Most reviews were very favorable but that one got me wondering. Is this really a "wide spread...

Thanks Davo, I will go to the stores next week and take a look at the different Q models to get an idea of their size. I have seen the Spirit and the I think I read that the larger Qs are about that size, which seems fine for me. One thing I have determined is that my original choice, the...

Well, as promised I've done some rethinking about a lot of things, primarily my needs, thanks to all of your input. Although as some of you have said, charcoal is indeed hard to beat but for this grill I think I will go with LP. You know, after really analyzing my needs I am wondering if I...
