Love the big size of the small grill. I have a Q1000 and it always seemed to be on the smallish side. This one just seems capable of so much more. What I like is that if we are doing something on the Genesis 335 series I can always do some simple appetizers on the side with this.

You can sit the tank in the back on the bottom rack if you like. I love my Q320.

Thanks Joe. I will give it a try this weekend.

The only "knock" I've read on some postings is that it lacks the flavor bars to prevent common frequent grease fires

I think lack of flavor bars is a feature - About 5 less things to replace and clean. The way the grates are designed I don't get stuff dripping on them and the burners seem to last forever.

They are always at least $150 around here and I’m too cheap for that!

Sure beats the price of a new one for $600 at a Costa Rican Weber Authorized Dealership. Locating a used WeberQ 3200 down-here is as rare as seeing a Moose on my front patio.

I have been selling my refurbed ones for $180 - $200. Most of the time it is just cleaning and maybe a ignition button. Never had to replace grates or burners even on the 10 year and older ones. They just hold up so well.

I oftened wondered how much it would take to make some flavor bars in the shop at home and what benefit there would be?

Good question. If you were able to cover the burners with some custom flavor bars, then you could use any grates cut to size and not worry about having ones with a solid strip over the burners.

Interesting idea, but I would be a little concerned that putting flavorizers between the burner and grate would reduce the heat capability. I am no expert, but some things that have been said here about how the stock cast iron grates radiate heat and are part of the way the Q grills cook makes sense to me.
