Can easily cook for 4 no problem at all
Plenty of threads if you do a search
Just back from holls and bought a teflon mat to cook on, even less cleanup now.

Buy a Q, we haven't used our 4 burner bbq to cook since we've had the Q.

We have the 220 with temp gauge which has the higher lid and we hardly use the kitchen oven anymore, we still have the 2 burner cook top bbq for boiling the billy but you can't go past the webber Q for home or camping.

Exactly. Couldn't tell you the last time the oven was on at home.

Case closed. The only more lopsided result this year will be the federal election.

Had mine for a couple of years now, use it 3 or 4 times a week at least. One thing to add to all the positive comments as well is how little gas they use as well. Good for the pocket and environment :cheers:

We upgraded to a Q (200) and now the world is a much better place. Global warming. Famine. The price of fish. All fixed.

We cook. Almost every night from it in summer. And bake cakes etc in it while camping. Best hung we ever got for the camper. :))

*outlaws purchased one after seeing ours.  They were that impressed :))

The Q100e is a great thing  :cup:, but I won't be getting rid of my house BBQ........they all have their place......

Actually I didn't put that right. As we have all that back in the Blue Mountains still, I mean I don't feel the urge to buy another one until I get of my arse and get our entire house contents shipped from there to Broome, including the BBQ. I agree, they still have their place. :cheers:

yep Q100 here as well,only use it when camping and on days of total fire ban,
Great piece of kit and does great Pizza.
Runs hotter than the Q200 and makes remarkable Bleu Steaks
cheers.

We were so happy with the Q120 we got rid of the tatty old 4 burner and replaced it with a Q320. Couldn't be happier, and we now have shares in Weber 'cause wee bought Webers as gifts for 2 x son & daughters in law, 1 x brother for 'is 50th.  That's 5 of the sodding things!   ;D   :cheers:

For all those with a webber  q, do you use your camp ovens anymore?  The threads on the q have got me thinking about ditching the camp ovens, hillbilly fire spike and hot plate and getting a q.  Might take away some of the fun and guesswork with hot rocks though!

My boys (3 and 4) occasionally like an open fire for marshmallows. If we have handy firewood. And it's easy. Then we use a metal grill stand thingy (it's small easy to carry with us) or the hot play over the fire pit in some national parks. But most of the time. The fire is scenic and the cooking is on the Q! :)

All the time. They are NOT a replacement but an addition. You can not get the same, soft tender, juicy, flavorsome roast lamb in the Weber. While it is still good the closed lid, hot coals means you MUST still stake your camp oven ;D

Oh - IMPO

The 3 places I went to would not budge from the $299 RRP.  I got the Duffel Bag plus the Q200 Trivet (both at RRP) and managed to get the cleaning brush worth $20 thrown in for free.  Don't expect any big deals, If you want cheap you can get the standard model from Masters for $255.

I'm gonna go against the grain of this thread ... I don't have a Webber anything and I still BBQ.  I have a plate, use two rocks, firewood ... you get the picture OR I just wack it on the OzPig.  If I want a roast or a cake, then I use the camp oven on the OzPig.

P.S.  At home I have a 4 burner BBQ that hasn't been used since ... well ... Shite ... I can't remember.
