Hello,
We bought a Q220 a number of years back and we switch back and forth between gas and charcoal for different situations. I've always enjoyed the Q but found that it was not controllable in a very precision way - such as super hot, or low and slow. The burner seemed critical at both extremes. When the two burner 300 series came out very soon after we bought the 220, I thought the two burners would be the answer. So - I bought the 'spare' parts to make the conversion in the 220 to two burners and now have a very versatile gas grill. Had to drill a hole in the lower body and braze a bracket on the existing loop burner for the second burner but this works great. It would have been cheaper and less time consuming to just buy the 320 but the 220 was still in fine shape, besides; don't we all spend more on DIYs than if we just 'bought a new one"? Anyhow, the conversion was easy enough to do... I experimented a bit with propane nozzles though.
Thanks,
Bill Clemens
