What a bloody beauty
Baby Q Premium (Q1200)I recently purchased a Weber baby Q premium and couldn’t be happier. I user my Weber for cooking a basic snag and steak to the Sunday night lamb roast including veggies and highly recommend it. The raised hood with inbuilt thermometer allow you to cook those larger dishes and includes an electronic infinite lighter. These inclusions only come with the premium model.
Purchased in at Weber for $3,999.

Why didn't I buy one sooner ??
Baby Q Q1000NI love the portability and compact nature of this bar-b-que. It is so light and easy to transport. Initially, I was a little concerned about how it would travel, but its sturdy construction handled the journey perfectly.
With its easy ignition system, it delivers consistent cooking results, and the end result of the food cooked was succulent and extremely tasty. It may be small in size but delivers BIG results in a handy portable package.
Purchased in for $295.

Cant even cook a steak without broiling it, pizza still poor after 35 min
Baby Q SeriesBasically the Baby Q is underpowered, pizza in Baby Q takes 30 to 40 minutes, in a sizzler deluxe maybe 6-10 min. In the Baby Q the underside of the pizza is soggy in the sizzler deluxe it is crisp.
Purchased in at BCF for $350.

Don’t have a temp gauge, 20 min warm up, yes to convection tray, yes to pizza stone, yes to lid closed, after 20 min cooking time pizza not fully cooked.

Flame safeguard device on Baby Qs not retrospective!!!
Baby Q Standard (Q1000)For months or probably even years now Weber has copped a lot of flack from their customers about Weber’s lack of traction in getting a bbq with a flame safeguard to market. Ziggy has done it but Weber hasn’t. In response Weber has been at pains to say they’ve been developing a unique solution that won’t require a gas fitter to fit and that it’s being tested but it’s ‘coming’.
I was absolutely dumbfounded when I received an email from Weber on 24 March 2023. In short Weber announced in this email (for the first time) that the new provisions are
... Read more not retrospective. They said “The updates are not retrospective, and do not apply to gas barbecues manufactured before re-certification. If your barbecue does not have the permanent marking on the data label or packaging, it was manufactured prior to re-certification and it is still can be connected to a bayonet fitting on a caravan by a non-qualified person.“ I understand this ‘recertification’ occurred in or around September 2022. So in other words all those people who have Webers manufactured before this recertification event had absolutely nothing to worry about. They never did! Weber should have said that ages ago! Unfortunately Weber has caused angst and confusion amongst their customers and they’ve lost a lot of business as a result.
So disappointed
Baby Q SeriesWe bought the baby Q on recommendations from friends almost 2 yrs ago.It did not generate enough heat from day 1. Weber were no help but BCF got some help and some gas thing on the side was replaced. Worked great for another 2 or 3 roasts and then went back to slow cooker mode. We are totally disappointed and given we are about to head off on a lap we will junk the weber as I know they will not help and look for something else. For our $320 we have a lot of agro and about 3 decent meals.
After sales service? Don’t bother, there is none.

If you've had some parts replaced but the issue is still not fixed, then we'd love to help you get to the bottom of it. Typically, when we see heat issues with a barbecue, it's down to 3 things; gas flow, cleaning needed or incorrect usage (i.e. using with the lid up, wrong settings, etc).
Give Weber a Break
Baby Q Q120All you people complaining about the Weber Q not having a flame out safety feature, perhaps you should have another think. When i purchased mine it come with a POL screw in gas fitting.
I was the one who went and purchased a Bayonet Fitting and had the gas plumbing done to my Motorhome. What i am saying is Weber do not sell the Weber Q to be coupled via a Bayonet fitting but directly to a gas bottle. The governing body in their "wisdom" has come up with a regulation out of the blue and i for the life of me cannot see the difference in putti

Flame Failure device
Baby Q Premium (Q1200)Now early 2023 and still no answer!! Come on Weber, please…

Misleading - no Flame Failure
Baby Q Premium (Q1200)We bought a Weber Baby-Q from the Weber website to install in our slide-out drawer in our caravan. Little did we know (& there was nothing on the website) that we cannot connect the bbq to the bayonet on the van. If that had been disclosed then we would have looked around and found the Ziggy, or decided to wait and save our money until the flame failure was included. Weber KNEW about the requirement YEARS AGO and have done nothing but make promises. They knew but had no disclosure on the website. NOT HAPPY. We're considering returning it becaus

Great small BBQ
Baby Q Standard (Q1000)We received this in 2017 as a freeby for buying a carpet. We have been most happy with its performance. For 2 people it is ideal. When we have guests or a small turkey we will use a larger BBQ. We are in the south of Australia but use it all year. We cook most meat outside on it in all seasons. We recently could not light it but found that a cable for the pietzo had become dislodged while it was moved around our patio.
We have a Weber portable cart for it - this is a bit ugly as it is designed to cater for several size BBQs and ours is the smaller version

flame out device
Baby Q Q120Don't know what all the fuss is about. I agree that it would be preferable if there was a safety device, but how long have you be using it with out a problem? how many injuries have been caused by this issue since Baby q was released to market? I haven't heard of any.
Without knowing this information everybody's comments are based on opinion not fact.
How many people out there have their home made crab/crayfish cookers with no protection. have you stoped using them.
You have more chance of getting hurt walking to the weber.
So I say suck it up

Like cleaning? This is the BBQ for you.
Baby Q SeriesBought and used a Baby Q for 3 years. This week I put it in the rubbish bin. Absolute sod of a thing to clean. A major job to clean, sharp edges for cutting you and grazed knuckles from scrubbing the bleeding thing. Gone back to a flat open BBQ, now I know what I was missing.

Safety is the issue.
Baby Q Premium (Q1200)I have been advised by many groups and caravanners that this BBQ is not suitable any more for connection to a caravans bayonet gas connector.
WEBER have made many comments about work in progress on this forum alone over some months.
My gas fitter advised that this has been the case for the family q and baby q for at least 6 years.
I heard that the new rule is applicable from oct 2022.
Look around folks. I imagine there will be some fine Australian made gear that will comply.

Great little BBQ!
Baby Q Premium (Q1200)This is my first barbeque and I'm glad I invested in a Weber. It has been so easy to use, cooks perfectly and is easy to clean (the grill plates fit in my kitchen sink). It is also the prefect size for my 20sqm walled courtyard.
I have grilled veggies, halloumi, chicken skewers, burgers, lamb chops, sausages and steak on it so far and all have been delicious!

Questions & Answers
Is there an update on when the caravan compliant fitting will be available for the weber baby Q? Will it also be available for the next size model up? I am looking to buy a BBQ for my new caravan and want the weber rather than switch to the Ziggy.
Mark, saw the device at the caravan and and camping show yesterday on a Weber Baby Q. Price will be about $200 dollars. Bigger than I thought and has to be powered by 12 volt as well. It was on the Everything Caravan and Camping stand.
Wow! Thanks for the answer. I think I'll buy a Ziggy!
I saw that at the caravan and camping show today too and was disappointed to see how big it is, that it needs to be powered and the cost. I think I'll just continue to connect direct to my gas bottles even though with the regulations not being retrospective I could still use my bayonet.
Bought one last week from Weber Store in Taylors Lakes (Vic). They’d only come in a couple of days beforehand and I was contacted as I had placed my name on a wait list. Price was $199.
Was told that there was limited availability at that time and that would be the case up to the Christmas period (Taylors Lakes store had been issued with 12 units).
I had to buy a new gas bottle for my baby Q. They gave me one with a black screw top. I cannot get it to fully screw onto the baby Q hose connection though and gas leaks. Do I need a new baby Q hose to suit it?
Hi Claire
Thank you for getting in touch. You would have received the gas bottle with the new Type 27 connection, this is why you're finding it challenging to screw on.
We would recommend seeing if you can purchase the gas bottle with the old connection or you will need to purchase a new hose for your Baby Q. Please send us a DM on Facebook or give us a call on 1300 301 290 and we will be able to assist you further.
