Broke down after minimal use
We bought a baby q to be our second bbq (we also have a charcoal / smoker). We’ve used it occasionally for steaks and sausages when in a hurry. It was ok until the gas hose started leaking. Luckily we heard the hiss and nobody was injured. We’ve only had the bbq for 4 years so I was a bit surprised that it failed. The worst part though was trying to buy a replacement gas hose. I visited a Weber stockist, only to be told I needed the serial number and receipt if I wanted to purchase any parts. When I asked why I was told that Weber wanted to tra...Read more
ck me. On the web site there is also no ability to purchase parts or even get a part number. I had to hand over my personal details including my home address and phone number in order to even contact support. Completely disturbed by this and certain I will never buy a Weber again.Purchased in December 2016.

Too hot!
We purchased a baby q 10months ago and are really struggling with it. On the lowest setting with the lid down, the temperature consistently soars to over 200 degrees. We have to either keep opening the lid to reduce the temp to avoid burning everything or prop the lid open. Any ideas?

Burnt Pizza's NOT HAPPY
I purchased the baby Q today; as we had some friend's coming over for dinner. I assembled the WeberQ as per instructions, placed a pizza stone in the WeberQ and set about preparing the pizza base's & toppings. The pizza bases instructions say to pre heat oven to 230C, ok it took a while to get up to the required temp. I then placed the first pizza in the oven and two minuets latter everyone laughed as the smell of smoke rose from the WeberQ, the bottom was burnt black and the topping uncooked.
NOT HAPPY.
The rest of the pizzas were cooked inside in the oven, my friends think its funny but I'm sure they will defiantly not be buying a WeberQ
Not sure, maybe I need to stick to steak & chops.

Hi David
Firstly, sorry for the experience on the first night using the your Weber Q! As MMCR commented, there are a couple of things you need to do to get great results when cooking pizzas on your... Read more
Q. The main one is that you can't put the stone directly on the grill, you need to use the Weber Q Trivet, with a couple of layers of foil underneath, and the stone on top. This circulates the air around the stone, heating it up evenly. Then when the pizzas are put on the stone, the bottoms brown up nicely, and the toppings will cook evenly.Hi Dave I am having trouble with pizza in my Baby Q. I do all as instructed but still get cooked bottoms but raw tops. Or to cook the tops I get charred bottoms. I have tried it on high temp and on lo... Read more
wer temps but no difference. I have seen on some forums to raise the stone higher into the lid probably on some cans of beer maybe. What do you think, will that work. Really don't want another ruined pizza. SharonSimilar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

Bad
The ads show this as easy to move around and it is BUT keep in mind that grease begins to build up from the first time you use it and although you can give it a clean you are till transporting grease and the smell of BBQ in your car in the sun. It is not a very pleasant experience.
Compact, easy to move around and big enough for the average family

Questions & Answers
Ianasked
Are you guys going to bring out a retrofit for the Baby Q for a flame out sensor.? There are a lot of us who have this model and use off a bayonet fitting from the van / motor home.
Now with new Australian regulations, this is no longer legal and I will be mightily annoyed if I have to replace the Que with another brand that does comply.
Thanks Ian

Hi there - what are you cooking that is burning? All Weber Qs are designed to be use with the lid down at all times, and the actually around 200C is probably at the lower end of what you can actually ... Read more
achieve. That's okay, because when cooking steaks for example, you want it generally flat out - when the temp would show up to 300C. When roasting, use a convection tray and trivet and put your meat directly on the trivet (without a roasting pan or dish) and the use the settings for roasting (as shown in you booklet) and this will end up sitting around the 200C mark when roasting - higher than in an oven, but that's fine as the bbq is sitting outside where humidity and wind and temps can make a difference, that's why roasting at slightly higher temps is better, and trust us, produces much better results. We're here to help, so if you'd like to chat (to a real person!) we'd love to hear from you - just call our customer service team on 1300 301 290. Cheers, Dave@WeberAustralia
