Nice - that's what I did on Baby q (although space wise works better on a Q200)

Thanks Rich - yep happy with how much you can actually load up on a full grate - you could probably fit in another 10x if all the same - I just had two different batches in the freezer

Thanks!

Thanks Bruce - no flareups - lid was down. Yes normally would do my genesis with more real estate but its on the patio and it was pouring yesterday so gave it a shot on the baby q under cover and to see how much could load on. With wings there are never enough! Cleaned up ok after a good...

Fired up the Q100 to try this - it only took 25 mins - cooked 4lbs of wings on direct. Set on low heat and flipped every 5 mins or less til done (25 mins) as per approach here (not mine) Yes you have to be vigilant and turn often (I went shorter than the video - 8mins is too long) but you...

Yep - its easy enough. Will give it a few more runs. Also I didn't have this on a Weber cart - yeah would be wary of the heat its pushing out. I'll also keep my eyes out for a split baby q grill plate as refilling the coals is a bit fiddly with the large single grate

Ideally as a dual fuel Q1xxxx - then you can have a small portable gas and charcoal grill. I experimented by putting a cut up foil tray over the burners to protect them and then coals can sit on top and it seemed to work. There isn't much space though from coal to grate when you leave the...

Yes in the end - I had reservations as well but it came out fine. Next time will punch some holes in the foil tray to get some more airflow or source a suitably sized wire tray/basket

Oops - but yes that is what I meant going from smallest to largest. Thanks Ed for fixing up! Actually the Smokey Joe has the smallest cooking area based on Weber's site - added some more models in as well Smokey Joe - 147 sq inches / 948 sq cm Go Anywhere - 160 sq inches / 1023 sq cm...

Size wise for cooking (at small size) - Go Anywhere > Smokey joe > Q100/120/1000/1200 > Jumbo Joe/18.5" weber > Q200/2000 series

Converted an old banged up spare Baby Q that had lying around - removed the gas element and just put coals in a tray to the side to have 2 zones (but later on added an extra foil tray of coals beside it). Didn't drill any holes or anything - airflow seemed ok inside - all stayed alight and hot...

Thanks Jon - yeah we like to buy abroad and pop it on the ship/plane to get it back (mainly kettles) but yes its not cheap! Will keep my eye out

My favourite is doing a whole chicken on a Smokey Joe (good heat and minimal fuel). Either spatchcocked (with a pizza pan and foil tray as a heat shield) Or a whole one offset lower in the bowl And as said by others the Go Anywhere has a better layout for indirect which works as well - I...

Have more but this is my current cooking group

Roast cauliflower with parmesan/cheddar cheese melted on top for a few mins at the end

Thanks - would love to get my hands on the real thing (a Char Q) too but being in AU unfortunately not really possible!

If you are just after some good char and can't get a Weber Char Q (hey we never will in Australia) a Smokey joe and a baby Q/Q100 full grate gets a pretty nice result as a a poor man's char q. No lids / just charcoal and cast iron / Very hot - coals up close to grate but gets a good sear

Also it seems these all black ones were Weber AU/NZ only - stumbled on a set of docs etc from Weber AU/NZ here - more weird local versions only https://issuu.com/weberbbqau https://issuu.com/weberbbqau/docs/k8811024_spec https://issuu.com/weberbbqau/docs/nz_k8831024_spec

Thanks Steve - some good details and explanation there

Thanks Jon - I solved the space/table issue for now as well. This is my patio grill area so the kettle with weber table will work for now! And the gas side burner is all working for lighting the charcoal for the Red weber.
