« on: October 12, 2011, 07:32:39 PM »
I'm looking at getting a webber or a Coleman grill for Xmas and just wanted to see what other people have and what made u get it over the other . I want to use it as a BBQ or cook a roast on it .

Can either be used as to boil water ?

Not familiar with the Coleman but very happy with our Baby Q.  I'm sure one could boil water but it wouldn't be that efficient.

Ya can't go past the Weber.
We have a WeberQ 220, bought it for the camper and like it so much we would use it at least a 2 to 3 times a week at home.
I have boiled water on ours but like topndr mentioned it was not real efficient.
I use a Gas Mate canister type burner for road side stop cups of coffee and tea.
Go the WeberQ you won't regret it.

G'Day Ben.  We have the Coleman Road Trip and use it extensively when camping.  We cook outside the camper all the time with it, boil water, cook curries, BBQ.  We looked at the Webers but couldn't really see the benefit of being able to roast something.  You're camping after all, eating camp food.  The Coleman is easy to clean and can run off the cartridges or a gas bottle. Would recommend.
Cheers, Rob

Going to buy a Weber tomorrow, was going to wait for christmas but they are on special down the road so now is a good a time as any.
Looking at the new q100e but might go the 200, 100 looks a bit small.

For bugga all more I would go for either the Q120 or the Q220. Same as the 100 and 200 but with a higher lid (good for large roasts) and a temp gauge.
I'm sure you'll enjoy

The advert called them Q100e but has the higher lid and gauge and only $10.00 more than 100 and 200.
I will see what the difference is tomorrow to the 120/220 but I think they could be the 1 and same

I also vote the baby Q..... apart from the great results you get I can personally vouch for their after sales support.....

I had a problem where the plastic legs melted due to a combination of having turned it onto high to warm up and being distracted and forgotten about whilst at the same time having a solid pizza stone sitting on the grill with lid closed..... the effect was to reflect all the heat down to the bottom and melting the legs.

A call to Weber (2nd year into a 5 year warranty).... was told there was no service agent here and was i happy to replace them myself as it is quite straight forward (the local bbq galore guys had already offered to make the repairs if they sent the parts).... not a problem I say so the legs were promptly dispatched via courier. During the replacement I had problems as the plastic had  melted over the bolts and had to force it off and managed to break a metal piece off the gas connecter in the process. Another call to Weber.... said part dispatched that day by courier and received the next, complete with new gas hose and regulator.

Can't remember the last time I had such good after sales support.

Yep, another vote for the weber.

I've got an adapter with a single burner straight from the bottle for boiling water and anything else I cant use the weber or fire for.

The 120/220 has been dis continued. The only difference between them and the 100e is the side wings (bench space) which can be purchased for $50 (babyQ)

I've just been on the weberQ website and looking at the weber pizza stones.
Has anyone cooked pizza in the weberQ using a pizza stone.
Is it worth the effort or a gimmick?

We do it all the time.  The pizzas come out awesome.  Just leave your stone in all the time to keep hot, and slide the pizzas on and off.

There's no need to use a Weber pizza stone.  That could be the gimmick part.  Any old pizza stone will do.

Thanks mate,
I will have to get myself a pizza stone.
It would be great to be able to churn pizzas out when camping :cup:

For sure.  It's a great way to eat.  Get all the kids to make their own pizzas and just slide them on and graze.  ;)  Keeps them entertained as well.

I faced this dilemma only recently and I went the Weber. I could not locate a substantive alternative...

I ended up with a poorman's Weber (a 200), as I couldn't seem to locate a 220 anywhere. Problem solved, I purchased a bbq temp gauge off eBay for $3 and fitted (it is now a Weber Q215). Cooked two roasts in it to perfection...the peoples are right...They are a fantastic bbq and I am glad I purchased one...

I cannot comment on the Coleman as I haven't used one...I have seen one and I think the Weber supersedes it....

Attached is a pic of our last pizza.
The stone is great. I have a weber one as I didn't have one before getting the weber.

Um Churn is not the word I would use. They take 15min to cook and you can do 1 at a time on the BabyQ (Don't know about the 200) so it takes way less time to eat than to cook.
We make the dough from scratch which takes about 5 min but then have to let it  sit for 20-30 min to rise. We are going to try premade bases this weekend from woollies.

We bought the Weber Family Q about 4 weeks ago and have cooked all sorts of meats, including roasts.  We absolutely love it!  ;D
Cooks to perfection, every time.  Still getting use to the cooking times for roasts, but have just bought a cooking thermometer and will try that.  We love our salmon fillets and boy, it does them perfectly.  :cheers:  
We were originally worried about the price of the Webers, but now we have no regrets at all. Got to be the best BBQ on the market! It is also so efficient and uses very little gas. Re pizza stones, just get a large floor tile, works exactly the same and a lot cheaper.  8)

true to a point - just check the size. My pizza stone was a fraction too big and the lid wouldn't close - bought a slightly smaller one (not webber) which is perfect.
