Weber Baby Q Series Questions & Answers

Hi Jon, unfortunately the Baby Q does not support natural gas and can only be used with LPG.

Hi Bill, thanks for your question. What setting do you have your dial on, and what are you trying to cook? A temperature of 200c is within the indirect medium temperature range that would be ideal for cooking a roast. This article might help you with the set up for your barbecue: external link 

If you're still having trouble controlling the temperature, please give us a call on 1300 301 290 and we can give you some more specific troubleshooting support. Just have your barbecue's serial number handy.

I'm trying to reduce the temperature by turning the "Control Knob" to the lowest setting, but the temperature keeps rising!

Hi Bill, thanks for that. If you adjust the control knob, note that it may take between 10-15 minutes for the barbecue temperature to adjust internally as it takes time for the heat to come down with the lid closed.

The temperature kept rising so I “Thumped” the control button inwards & it “solved “the issue!

Hi Oliver, you can use a 4kg LPG cylinder if you are able to find one that can attach to the barbecue, as sometimes smaller gas cylinders have a different connection. Just note that sometimes people can find that the pressure of gas to the barbecue can sometimes differ when using the smaller sized gas bottled, which may mean you might need to add some extra cooking time on for your cooks. We hope this helps!

Hi Bruce, happy to help. That's a tricky question as there isn't a battery (assuming you're talking about an igniter) on a Q1000; are you sure that is the correct model type? If you're happy to email ANZ_social@weber.com with your barbecue's serial number, then we can let you know some instructions on how to get your barbecue up and running again. Alternatively you can call 1300301290 and talk to our customer service team.

Hi Karen, thanks for your question. When using the Flame iQ attached to your Baby Q you need to turn on the device prior to the ignition of the barbecue, as the barbecue will not ignite unless the device is turned on. When the Flame iQ is turned on it runs a check which takes a couple of seconds and then opens up an internal solenoid to allow gas flow, and without this process the barbecue will not ignite.

We hope this helps!

Thanks for the response. Yes, that is helpful, thank you.

Hi Jeff, you can purchase a lpg bayonet hose from our customer service team. You can get in touch with the customer service team on 1300 301 290 and you will need to know your serial number when contacting the team.

Please note that if your barbecue requires a flame safety device to operate with a bayonet hose the team will need to confirm that you have a device prior to selling the hose, and they will discuss this with you. Thank you.

Hi George, yes you can use a full hot plate on the Baby Q 1200N. You can find the Full Hotplate at your local Weber Store or Specialist Dealer or online here: external link  Thanks!

Hi Toni, all of our barbecues come with the gas hose and regulator connected.

Hi Elizabeth, If your Weber Baby Q has a permanent marking on the data label stating, "Do not install in, or connect to consumer piping or gas supply system of a boat or caravan" then you do require a flame failure device on your barbecue when connecting to your caravan bayonet.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

I personally haven’t purchased one, however a quick search of Google said they can, different suppliers can for about $17.00 aus

Hi Rebecca, the smoker boxes are not compatible with the Baby Q due to the sizing of the grills and the required space needed for the smoker boxes and the convection tray and trivet.

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).

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.

Hi Kevin

Yes this should work well with your Baby Q. If you do come across any issues please let us know

Hi Maddog

Our innovative flame safeguard device for the Weber Baby Q has been reviewed and accepted by all Australian State and New Zealand Gas Regulators and is in the final stages of certification. It will be launched later in 2023.

When is this exactly ?

Hi there

It will be available in the next coming months.

Just seen the new device at the Sundown Park caravan and camping show today. Price will be around $199.00. Available later this year.

Hi Rhonda Thank you for reaching out. When cooking a roast that is 4.1kg it is important to consider if it will fit in the barbecue with enough room to achieve convection heat. If the barbecue is not thoroughly clean and there isn't enough room for heat circulation you may have some challenges.

Our rule of thumb when roasting is to measure the thickest part of the roast and for each millimetre cook it for 1 minute. So if your roast is 10cm thick then you would roast it for 100 minutes to achieve medium doneness. If you have any further questions please call our customer service team on 1300 301 290

Thank you very much!

How old is your Weber Q? I assume you know you don’t need a flame failure device unless your BBQ was manufactured “after re-certification” (without a flame safeguard device) and has a permanent marking on the barbecue, stating “Do not install in, or connect to consumer piping or gas supply system of a boat or caravan.”

Hi Smiley Jim, thanks for your feedback. I was aware of that information but I’ve personally had my Weber Q flame go out on two separate occasions in blustery conditions when in close proximity to the caravan. So now I’m keenly looking forward to a solution to the problem to try to mitigate the safety concerns.

Hi Nellie

Thank you for reaching out. The flame failure device will be released later in the year, please refer to our FAQ page for further information external link . Thank you

Hi Abelle Thank you for reaching out. That sound be fine, as long as it is on flat solid ground and does not wobble. You also need to ensure that your barbecue is at least 60cm away from any walls. If you need any further advice, please give our customer service team a call on 1300 301 290

Hi John

Thank you for getting in touch. The diameter of the gas regulator on a hose is 7cm for both an LPG hose and a natural Gas hose. Please let us know if you have any further questions

Thanks

Hi Justin Thank you for reaching out. We can assist you here. Does your hose screw on the outside of your gas bottle or in the inside of your gas bottle? Can you determine if the leak is coming from the connection to the barbecue or to the gas bottle?
