Awesome score, I'm sure you'll love it. They really cook excellent and heat up fast with very little fuel usagePicked up my first Q grill today. Q1200 and I think may be a good size for my use case but I'm pretty sure this is just the beginning of many more Q's to come lol. I paid $60 for it and it's like new still and came with a cart, cover, adapter hose for full-size tank, new full-size tank full of propane, full box of tray liners and a full can of Simple Green heavy duty cleaner.
I bought Ribeye Steaks on my way home to try but family was hungry so I grilled on my 240. I'll try it soon though and give feedback. I gave it a quick clean but it wasn't bad.
So here is my new garage grill for now. I may gift to my sister-in-law. She better hope I don't love it lol.

Thank you Bruno!
If you or anybody else is looking for a brand new q1200 I found a nice lady in Arizona with a brand new q1200 sealed in the box that she will sell for $60 and ship with whatever method you choose and pay for.

That’s a nice buy. Great grill for smaller cooks, car camping, and tailgating.

Question:
Doing regulator conversion on my Q1200. I'm I correct that the connection on the Q is a 1/8" male NPT? So I need 1/8 female fitting to screw into the Q?
Have lots of Weber regulator hoses with 3/8 flare female end so I'm thinking this part will be my answer?

It is usually easier to just use an adapter hose instead of doing a regulator delete.
But if you are set on doing the delete, here is a how to on how I did one.

I did see this. It just seems like it has an extra part in it that you could avoid by using this piece?It is usually easier to just use an adapter hose instead of doing a regulator delete.
But if you are set on doing the delete, here is a how to on how I did one.
I do have the 3/8 flare to male 1/8 NPT and could also get a female 1/8 NPT to Female 1/8 NPT but it seems to me this 1 piece I posted above should take the place of both of these pieces? At least I can't see why not but I haven't taken it apart yet. I'll find out tonight.

Just so I understand correctly are you referring to Weber Q regulator delete but still using a regulator hose like I'm referring to? Or zero regulator in the line at all?

Yes just the Q regulator itself, not going regulator free. Whoeeeeee that would be an inferno. On the smaller Qs doing this simply means you cannot run it "portable" from little 1lb bottles. Although seems to me I've seen adapters that allow a 1lb bottle to screw into a standard regulator

Yep, I just used the adapters that I had on hand. It could have been done simpler with the right adapters.

I'm trying to pick up a q2200 identical to my q1200. Same color same stand same price. If so I'll do this conversion on both of them. Otherwise I'll just do the 1200 tonight

I like the regulator delete. I can get the grill hotter (to near 600 deg).
These are the parts I used:
LASCO 17-4627 3/8-Inch Flare by... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008E5CN9E?tag=tvwb-20
Pretty simple job. The only negative is if you like using the 1lb green canisters. I personally don’t like them. So I bought a 5lb tank. Plenty portable for outings.
