I have done 8 burgers at once, 4 steaks/chicken breasts/pork chops at once, and even done an 8 pound pork shoulder on a sheet pan with a grill rack in my Q1200.Cooking for 1-2 people, get the Q1xxx. Cooking for 3 or 4, get a Q2xxx. 4 or more, get a Q3xxx. If you son just cooks for himself and roomate or GF or whatever, Then the small Q is perfect. If he cooks for 3 or 4 roomates, then you should look to the bigger ones.
I agree,. Look for a used one cheap and you might have to replace the grates or burners, but it will save you a lot of money. I can find them for $50 or less pretty often.
And, with the folding cart/stand it can be taken poolside or used for tailgating. I would have been in heaven to have a Q1200 when I was in college.I wish that the Q1200 had been available when I was in college.
Very versatile!
Hi Dan,Great info. I'll keep an eye out for a Q1200.
I'm trying to learn the visual differences when only a pic is provided. for example this one. I'm guessing its larger than a 1200, but how would I know before taking a drive to go see it?

That was me. They were $10 but I haven't been able to duplicate that deal since then. I don't know why those stupid things cost so much.Someone posted some of those clips on here a couple months ago or so if I remember correctly and they were not too expensive.
