Weber Baby Q Standard (Q1000)

Best of the best! – This was my first ever Weber product. It’s now 15 years old and with use every other day it’s going strong. I had to replace the regulator about 5 years ago, which with the amount of use it gets was totally expected and acceptable. When I phoned Weber to order the part they were very very helpful. This product has been the catalyst for me to… Read more ·  1

increase my collection to 4 Weber products over the years. And I still love this BBQ like the day I got it. I highly recommend Weber products. The only brand I use when it comes to barbecue.

Flame safeguard device on Baby Qs not retrospective!!! – 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… Read more

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 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.

Compact, great cooking, not disappointed – Purchased at Christmas as we’ve moved to a smaller house and had no space for our previous six burner. Six months of use on, and we are not disappointed. We’ve cooked all sorts of things in here and so far, no complaints: Steak, chicken kebabs, croc kebabs, fish in foil, patties, sausages, eggplant slices, corn ..... no drama. It does cook… Read more ·  1

relatively fast, so we are Do the proper preparation: Get our accompaniments ready, bring our product to room temp, preheat the BBQ, pay attention to our cooking times. I suspect those with complaints may not adhere to that system. Our old BBQ, it took ages to cook, at cool spots, and it made the cooking a bit of a drawn out affair. If you want to stand around your BBQ for an hour turning sausages, this one is not for you.

We’re a family of four, perfect size for us, and I’ve cooked for six no problem. If you’re planning regulate large cook ups, you need a bigger size.

Plates clean easily. We did take on board a recommendation to get the Weber Q cleaner to help with shifting the grease out of the domed lid and I’m glad we did.

No regrets.

Baby Q maintains Weber standard! – G’day all, I was compelled to write this review after reading the negatives. I have owned a Weber Genesis E-330 for over 6 years and just can’t fault it. Workmanship, cooking ability (not always mine) and consistently! When receiving this Baby Q as a promo from a wholesaler I was a bit dubious of its abilities. Well, just like being at home,… Read more

I was wrong again!

It’s cooked great lamb rump steaks, heated up roti bread, cooked a butterflied lamb (remember to bring all meat up to room temperature prior to cooking) and a fantastic 30mm porterhouse last night!

It’s unfortunate that a few users have allegedly experienced some issues with the unit reaching temp prior to use but I’ve had only good experience with Weber.

When my Genesis was supplied and installed 6 years ago I received a call from the Weber installer letting me know the unit was commissioned and ready for use (natural gas model). He also informed me that he had noticed a scratch on the hood and would order a replacement. After inspection that night for the life of me I couldn’t find a scratch! I assured home of this but sure enough a new hood arrived and it’s still sitting in my attic ready for a Weber anniversary of some sort.

Buy it. You won’t be disappointed. Just follow the rules.

If your looking you’re not cooking!

Keep the lid down!

Regards

Love our baby Weber Q – We love the Weber q. It's quick and easy to fire up and can serve easily a family of 4. This is great for a impromptu steak night or ever cutlets which the kids love. I though having such a small bbq would not be great but it's actually a space saver and does exactly what we need when we need it Show reply

What? – It's hard to believe the poor reviews for this BBQ. We have owned 3 Baby Weber's over the years and have nothing but the highest praise for them. To ChrisL... to expect to BBQ on any plate without leaving some evidence is ludicrous. Forget the poor reviews, this baby is a cracker. Show details ·  1

Slow cooker – This bbq does not get hot enough even with 10 minutes preheating useless for cooking quality steak, okay for fatty meats ie chicken wings pork What's with cooking grates pre oil food everything still sticks .Piezo packed up after a year Show details

I feel like I have been bent over – you pay good money and when u get it, its a grill only then you have to pay an extra $60 for half griddle plate, should be like others Half/half the shop I purchased the griddle from had heaps so must be a common thing Show details

What a gem – After 8 years reliable service in all weather's it is time for a new one. The burner is gone. You can't beat this gem, buy another is false economy. Terrific! Show details ·  1

This thing goes everywhere (when we can :)) – Combined with a small 5litre gas bottle this BBQ is a ripper. Beach, camping, in the tinny, I take our Webber everywhere there is an opportunity to have a BBQ.  Show details ·  1

My Webber doesn’t get hot enough – Even with the lid down it doesn’t get hot enough. Nothing else wrong with it but I have to write thirty words or they won’t except my review. The fact it doesn’t get hot enough is not great

Unreliable & dangerous – Our weber goes out all the time... several times in a row. Gas continues to flow under lid.. dangerous if we hit the ignition button! Purchased in 2018 for $ 329 dollars. Show details

Long live the Baby Q – I purchased my Q1000 way back in 2007 and soon all the add ons like the side table, pizza tray, grill tray, light, cover and cart. It has been one of the best purchases I have made, lasting longer than three cars. It still looks pretty new and does the job from picnics to NYE parties at home. Coming to the close of 2020, (yes, I’ve had it for 13… Read more

years) the only complaint is the feet on the trolley rusted and it fell over and it’s hard to get a replacement as series 2 trolleys don’t fit series 1 Baby Q’s. So unless I find a trolley/cart that fits on the second hard market, I might upgrade to the Q2200. My family had had other brands in the past, but Weber had proven its longevity in three family households and I simply won’t consider any other brand.

Love it – Perfect for my camper trailer. It sits well on the slide area and connects to the gas already in the trailer. Grill is easy to clean. Perfect for roast and for steaks/hamburgers Would recommend Show details ·  1

Versatile bbq, portable for picnics – Such a great addition to our home! We like to cook juicy steaks, whole roasts, pizza on a stone, amazing bbq chicken and stock standard bbq meat. Haven't had a single issue with the bbq and we are super happy with the build quality. Cleaning isn't too bad, a quick scrape once it's heated up; every few months a "deep" clean with a bit of hot water… Read more ·  1

and elbow grease. We plan to get a full size Webber q for our outdoor kitchen and keep the baby q for camping and picnic lunches... can't wait!

Our First Weber! – We purchased a baby Weber for our caravan - but it's become a staple in our home too. It's a great size (we have the Duffle bag for storage and well as the half hotplate). It's easy to clean and heats up quickly and evenly. My husband also cooks our homemade scones in the weber. Wish we got one sooner! Initially we also bought the Weber branded… Read more ·  1

convection alfoil trays - however Now I just get the cheapo ones from the grocery store and they do just as well.

Amazing! – We bought a Weber Baby Q Standard from. It is really easy to clean, and it it is very convenient. It really does cook the veggies quite quickly and well. Overall, I really do recommend the Weber. Show details ·  1

Works well and excellent purchase – Wanted a small bbq for occasional grilling and it works perfectly. Bought the weber cart as the table. Easy to use and easy to clean. Even bought the cover to protect it from the rain and dust. Show details ·  1

Amazing Little BBQ – I love our Weber Baby Q. We opted for the smaller version and it's excellent for camping and roasts. We've done two roasts now that have been delicious and it's portable enough that next time we go camping we're going to bring it. The high quality BBQ plates and cover clean really well. We put a little bit of baking soda and it wiped clean.… Read more

We've also bought the trivet which is a must for roasting and that cleaned up perfectly in the dishwasher.

We always have ours covered when cooking and then put away in its carry bag so unsure how it would go out in the weather but it feels super premium so I suspect as good as any other BBQ.

This won't be replacing our big BBQ but for small steaks and roasts it's our go to!

love it – We love our little weber so much, in fact we hardly even use our big bbq these days as we love our weber. We purchased the stand too its great for picnics and the food tastes amazing. Show details ·  1

Great portable BBQ – Have had the baby Q for a few years now, bought it as a replacement for my stainless boat BBQ which was honstly useless. Highly recommended them. From roasts to frying with the optional pans it's great! Show details ·  1

So portable, so easy to use! – This bbq is so light and portable, easily cooks a whole pack of sausages, perfect for small houses and camping. It's very easy to clean and a great price point. Show details

Delicious!! – Best steaks and very easy to clean and then pack it up and store it away, great for camping we have ours in the van, it's good value, love it. Show details

Great bbq – Very happy can cook anything very good and very easy to clean As I only have a small hatchback car it’s very light and fits in the boot great for camping and day trips Show details

"Portability" – I know that Weber Baby Q requires a 4.5kg to 9kg gas cylinder. However, is it still possible for me to use one that is smaller than 4.5kg? For portability, I would think a smaller gas cylinder is more appropriate. For example Bunnings only sells gas cylinders weighing 3.7kg and 8.5kg. I am a bit disappointed that I need to buy a heavier gas cylinder as this compromises the portability of the Weber Baby Q.

Excellent bbq – Roasts just taste amazing on this bbq - far superior to being cooked in the oven. Bacon is amazing and even tastes great cold (much better than cold after being cooked in a frying pan). This size is perfect for camping for our family of 4. Convenient, easy to use. Love our Weber. Show details

perfect for steak – Our family loves our Weber Q, we use it at least a few times a week in summer. It truly is a gem and it so handy. It is so much easier to use then any other BBQ we have had before, just make sure you regularly keep it clean Show details ·  1

Great little BBQ – After not having a BBQ for many years (due to lack of space) I now cant live without my new Weber Baby Q. Big enough to cook for 4 and can handle a small turkey or leg of lamb. Very god d design. Show details

This is perfect for us – Perfect for all foods that can be cooked on a bbq...Easy to maintain re-cleaning etc...Great with wind re-the hood that lifts up and down...Can use indoors or outdoors...We only use ours outdoors. Show details
