Bought a Q2200 in July after watching some of your videos. I LOVE this grill. Family of four plus two 3 year olds and this baby keeps us fed during covid. Very even heat, easy to clean, and runs forever on a tank of propane.I love your channel and my new grill!! Keep on!
Just ordered our first grill yesterday as first time home owners; a Weber Q1200 with all its trimmings - including the griddle! SO EXCITED to start GRILLING!
Fire Escape Griller We take ours camping all the time and it's fantastic. We just use the adapter hose and hook it up straight to the camper propane tank, no more waiting for coals to be ready! Also instead of the griddle we just stick a small iron skillet on the grill and still allows me to close the lid.
That's what I use too I have the perfect cast iron skillet an can have stakes or burgers on the other side love my grill I like to use biscuit pans an whatever so i dont half to clean all that grease up works good for me
Bought a used q 1000 to have in the trunk and now. I just got a 3200 Thanks to your extent Weber videos I am falling in love with this line of grill had so many grills have even custom made some. But very impress with the quality of this grills Thank you
Ive cook asparagus and onions and peppers on the griddle with a little vegetable oil. I use the gas grill for an extra cooking surface to my Weber kettle
I do the same thing. Many times while I'm indirect grilling chicken thighs or ribs on the kettle, I'll use the gas grill for the appetizers or sides. Cheers man!
Is there anyway to hookup a little drip tray or pan underneath the griddle holes ? Just a thought , I have drip pans for my Weber Go Anywhere Gas Grill , I have Craycort Cast Iron Grates and a Griddle on it too . I just purchased a Weber Q1200 and I’m getting all the bells and whistles for it ! Thank you for the videos and all the time you spent putting them together and giving us all the information !
Just got mine and very very very VERY hard to believe it is "porcelain coated". The grills are a very smooth shiny black and smooth to the touch, even looking at the few smooth spots, they even look smooth to they eye. This weber 6558 griddle is very dull and rough to the touch and even looks rough very close up with magnifying glass. When wiping with cloth or paper towel, it grabs fibers and they stick to it. ------- Did I get a bad one you think? Is everyone else's like that? How could the "porcelain" be so much different from the beautiful grates?? Partly asking your opinion, partly venting obviously. :)
I was a little surprised by the rough texture of the griddle as well, so you didn't get a bad one. I've cooked quite a bit on it now and it seems to work fine.
I had to laugh about cooking the hamburger on the greasy grill! When I used to live up north in New Jersey we used to go to the diners and they would grill the hamburgers on the griddle‘s in the grease and they were so darn good! I’ll have to try and maybe I can duplicate the New Jersey burgers at the diner! Love your web site!
Nice, but I’m confused. Why wouldn’t you cook the burgers on the grill side to decrease the fat. That’s what I do, then I use the griddle side to grill some onions... you’re right, it is a great little grill. Thanks for sharing.
Just got my griddle a week ago was inspired to get one from watching your videos. I have a tip about the grease I blot some off with a paper towel using grilling tounges helps alot. Also I'm in New Jersey so we're kinda like weber q neighbors lol hope you don't find that weird. Look forward to more videos keep on grilling.
Fire Escape Griller yea I"m close to hackensack and always want to make burgers like they do now I can with the griddle have you ever been to five guys there another good burger place too.
Great video! Does anyone know if this is ok in the dishwasher? It is porcelain enamel coated cast iron after all. So in theory the cast iron is not exposed to become rusty.
@@GallaghersGrub That was one reason I got my Weber Q! So my house doesn't get smokey or smelly when cooking steaks, bacon, etc. I just got mine last month and was thinking about getting the griddle accessory. I used a 10" cast iron skillet on it for bacon yesterday which cooked very evenly, but there was a lot of grease accumulating in the skillet.
Hi . Thank you so much for the info on the griddle, Thank you for all your youtube videos, I enjoyed and learned a lots from you on this Webber Q1200 that I just bought.. Again Thank-you for your time... Tram
Good info. I want to buy the Q1200( the color choices and temp gauge are a plus) but according to Weber they do not offer a griddle for it and I really need one. They do offer one for the Q1000 that has the exact same size cooking surface. I'm waiting to hear from Weber to see if it will fit on the Q1200.
TheGoatMumbler My grill is the Q1200. The griddle for the Q1000 is the same griddle. The Q1200 has a higher domed lid and fold down side arms. Otherwise they are the same grill. The higher domed lid makes the Q1200 the better choice.
There's no need to lay your bacon out like that. Just throw 3x as much on and keep an eye on it, turning it etc. Great video though, especially the comment about bacon intake!
Hi. Love your videos! I also have one of these that I need to try out but I do have a few questions. What would be the best way to get rid of that accumulated grease? The small holes on the sides; what if you push the grease with a spatula off to the sides so that it runs down through the hole to drip down to eventually hit the grease tray?
I cooked an entire slab of bacon on it yesterday. Yes, the holes came in handy as I was able to push some of the grease down into the drip pan. After the cook, I emptied the drip pan and dumped the grease off the griddle. The bacon came out great btw.
"#1 Q1000 series is small" Then check out the Q2000 (54*39cm) series. Its slightly bigger then Q1000 (43*32cm) but can still be on a table and/or transported like the Q1000 series.
I have the breakfast plate for the 2200 which you put on top of the grills. I can never seem to get it hot enough to cook properly. I pre heat for a while and then it cools down because you don't cook at full boar.
It would be great to have your valued option of the reversable 'grillgrate' for a 'Q'. The holes should get more smoke. Not sure if they make a 'custom' fit made for 'Q'. Great video as always.
Fire Escape Griller I've done a bit of research. This place do a perfect fit for the Weber 'go-anywhere' I think this is slightly smaller than the Q's griddle. www.grillgrate.com/grillgrates-for-the-weber-go-anywhere-grill/ on the left hand side there is a custom fit page. I got my grillgrate from USA adrenaline BBQ custom fit for Slow and sear. I used the 'flat' side this morning and cooked a Full English breakfast. No problems at all frying an egg with the holes. The breakfast came out great. Minimum grease issue due to holes. Recommend spraying with oil at beginning of cook. Highly recommend the 'grillgrate', love mine very versatile. Only negative is it comes in two parts that slot 'interlock' together, but that's okay. I guess you could cover say 75% of the real estate of the Q and cook for more (as per Weber advice, not 100%). Cheers!
@@nigel8499 I agree that Grillgrates are awesome! I have a 3-piece set for my Q220. I use it on my smoker as well when I want to use lump coal. I also use both sides depending on what I want to cook.
My Weber Q runs too hot to BBQ pork ribs. It runs between 350-400 f. I bought a extra manifold and will try plugging some of the flame holes. I don’t understand why Weber hasn’t designed the manifold to run cooler on low setting. I getting tired of eating burned pork ribs.
I haven't tried spare ribs because they need a longer low and slow cook. But I have made baby backs (which are more tender to begin with) several times and they've turned out pretty good. One hour with smoke chips. One hour wrapped in foil. Unwrap and 15 minutes with sauce. All on low of course.
If you buy 2 griddles can you flip one so that the whole grill becomes a griddle? Or are the 2 sides different so you can only use the one side? Thanks.
I use to cover my grill with alluminium foils , the internal part obviously...it’s always nice and clean after used it .... remember do not cover the hole at the bottom with the alluminium foils... Alex from italy
By the way , Italy is a beautiful country, being there twice and we fall in love with Florence , my husband grandparents were from Calabria , hope we can go back soon .
If the griddle runs hot, do you preheat it at a lower temperature? Does it make a difference if you place the griddle on top of the grate instead of replacing the grate with the griddle? My griddle just came in the mail today. At the moment I’m waiting for it to cool down from being seasoned in the oven.
I preheat it on low. I haven't tried placing it on top of the grates. I'm sure it would work but think it's best to use it in place of the grates as designed. It's a pretty cool griddle. Makes great smash burgers and bacon. Cheers!
Hi and thanks for all your videos. A piece of porcelain coating has broken and fell off my Weber Q grates. Do you know if there is anything I can do to fix it or at least prevent it from developing?
Hi, sorry there's not. I am disappointed by by grates. They have only lasted about 3 years for me. I use the Weber a lot though, but I expected them to last longer than that. I am thinking about pure cast iron grates.
thejunglekarma cast iron pans work great with this grill. Check out my beer brats vid. Just make sure you get one with a handle short enough for you to close the lid. You’ll need to close the lid to get the pan hot enough. Cheers!
Good tips. Ground beef in sweden is almost always 90-10. So it works fine on a griddle, but burgers are not super juicy. Its why i try to grind my own as oftn as i can. And yes. Griddling increases bacon intake hehe. Impossible not to :) New intro too? I am not sure if you had it in your last video - but i might jsut be forgetful :)
Try mixing 25-30% ground pork with your lean ground beef. Fold it in as gently as possible without over compressing the meat. My wife has done this for years and guests always ask where she buys her ground beef.She just smiles and says “at the butcher shop”.
@@johnshuler8688 thanks for the tip. I do sometimes buy 50/50 here - but am weary about getting the burger cooked enough. Have started saving the fat from trimmings and mix in when i grind and that works really well thouguh :)
Yes. These griddle plates are porcelain coated cast iron. Meaning they don't have to be seasoned technically. Weber recommends washing them with warm/hot soapy water. Personally, I still like to hit mine with a touch of oil afterward. Either grapeseed or avocado oil.
Do you smell gas? You may have a leak. I use the hose to a larger tank and a squirrel bit a hole in it. I would remove the burner tube completely and clean it out. There may be cobwebs or other blockages in there. Otherwise you may need a new regulator. My Q just got up to 500F yesterday and it's the same age as yours and has less BTUs than the 2200. Hope this helps.
If it's been slow since you bought it, it may have a house gas jet installed. Otherwise the flame tube might want replacing. I do mine every couple of years or so. The holes do get slower as they gunk over. Lately I've been giving the burner holes an occasional rub over with "her" nail sand file thingy at the same time as tray change and degunk scrape. At a pinch ream out the gas jet a bit with a welding gas tip file. But don't tell anyone , the emotional ones go right off.
Bacon grease is saturated fat which increases your LDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is the cause of heart attacks and strokes. www.yalemedicine.org/news/9-things-you-may-not-know-about-cholesterol#:~:text=When%20total%20cholesterol%20levels%20are,high%20risk%20of%20developing%20atherosclerosis.
I have both. This video features the Q1200. The griddle on the Q2200 works exactly the same, just a bit bigger so it's easier to use with the extra room.
In regards to it being greasy and having no place for the grease to go, could you perhaps put something like a finishing nail or such under one area of the griddle to give it a slight pitch for the grease to run down and out?
I recently cooked a ton of bacon on the griddle and pushed it down through the holes. That said, I think a slight angle is a good idea. Thank you, Kerry!
Bro just another quick question don't know if it's possible but I'm going to ask that griddle that you use for it being a small as it is couldn't you put a griddle on both sides of that Grill just curious and sorry if I'm asking too much but I just don't know
@@GallaghersGrub Mainly because the heat from the burner actually reflects back from the underside of the grill and can eventually do damage to the base of the unit.
1:52 who the fuck cooks bacon with butter and then complain about being greasy..? I've owned this grill for about 3 yrs and have had no issue with grease.

@@GallaghersGrub I bought a Q100 in 2012, have used it a lot and it has never failed me.
Thanks for a great review! Probably the best info I have seen, Only thing I might add is about seasoning the griddle. Thanks again!
Because this griddle plate is porcelain-enameled cast-iron, Weber says you do not have to season it. And you can wash it with hot soapy water.
Any tips for cleaning this griddle? The burn off method works great for the bars but wasn't sure what's best for the griddle?

Nice. I haven't seen that griddle but will look into it. Thanks Jonnyfish.

I'm glad I bought one. It's definitely fun.
Can the griddle go on both sides? Say get two for each side?
I have not tried it, but Weber recommends not doing that.
Where is the hot air going to go if you do that?
I’m confused. You say the grease stays there but then say watch out for the grease holes when using the griddle on your inside stove.
Some of the grease will escape out the holes, but not all of it.
Can’t you get 2 & cover both sides
Weber has a warning in the instruction book not to do that.
Just got a Weber Q 1200 for my fire escape as well! How did you store it inside your apartment or house? Any problems with bugs in NYC?
I did not have bugs in NYC. Depends on your apartment building. I've always stored my Weber Q outdoors, uncovered in the elements.

Do you smell gas? You may have a leak. I use the hose to a larger tank and a squirrel bit a hole in it.
I would remove the burner tube completely and clean it out. There may be cobwebs or other blockages in there.
Otherwise you may need a new regulator. My Q just got up to 500F yesterday and it's the same age as yours and has less BTUs than the 2200.
Hope this helps.
If it's been slow since you bought it, it may have a house gas jet installed. Otherwise the flame tube might want replacing. I do mine every couple of years or so. The holes do get slower as they gunk over. Lately I've been giving the burner holes an occasional rub over with "her" nail sand file thingy at the same time as tray change and degunk scrape. At a pinch ream out the gas jet a bit with a welding gas tip file. But don't tell anyone , the emotional ones go right off.
Great vid
Thanks Twiss. Appreciate you watching. Cheers!
Do you use the griddle with the cover up or down?
I always do everything with the lid down. No matter what grill I'm using. Cheers Angela!
Seriously, if the fat isn't draining out get off the hill. Maybe adjust the level. Very easy to do
So.
Make the thing three times larger. With a proper grease bin.
Bacon grease is not bad for you. Carbs are.
Bacon grease is saturated fat which increases your LDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is the cause of heart attacks and strokes. www.yalemedicine.org/news/9-things-you-may-not-know-about-cholesterol#:~:text=When%20total%20cholesterol%20levels%20are,high%20risk%20of%20developing%20atherosclerosis.
Hi, can I use two Griddles instead of grills? I don't like grills . Thanks
Weber recommends not using two griddles at once. I believe the gas could get trapped underneath and cause an explosion.
@@GallaghersGrub Probably the lawyers talking. Seems like plenty of air holes on the ends where shelves fold in and also the bottom hole.
You should look at the Carnivore Diet !!!!
I've looked into it, but I'm a believer in leafy green vegetables.
Which one is it? Q1200 or Q2200?
I have both. This video features the Q1200. The griddle on the Q2200 works exactly the same, just a bit bigger so it's easier to use with the extra room.
What's next for the Fire Escape? Just a break or are you headed toward another wonderful cooking device? Cheers!
Taking the Q camping. Hoping to get a video out of it, but we'll see.
In regards to it being greasy and having no place for the grease to go, could you perhaps put something like a finishing nail or such under one area of the griddle to give it a slight pitch for the grease to run down and out?
I recently cooked a ton of bacon on the griddle and pushed it down through the holes. That said, I think a slight angle is a good idea. Thank you, Kerry!
Bro just another quick question don't know if it's possible but I'm going to ask that griddle that you use for it being a small as it is couldn't you put a griddle on both sides of that Grill just curious and sorry if I'm asking too much but I just don't know
One of my viewers said he does it, but Weber recommends not covering the entire grill with two griddles. Not sure why but it's not recommended.
@@GallaghersGrub Mainly because the heat from the burner actually reflects back from the underside of the grill and can eventually do damage to the base of the unit.
Gas stove uae key advice for me .. thanks
The grease may drip out of the hole on the griddle plate and onto your stove, so be careful.
I just got my Webber Q1000. I enjoy cooking the corn, and asparagus, on the grill!
After tasting grilled corn and asparagus, it's really hard to eat them cooked any other way. Cheers Bill!
Fire Escape Griller thank you for posting these videos and great job!
hi have u ever hear of a brot rip? can u take a weber q on one? thx in avance 4 your reply
Can you use two griddle plates
Weber has a warning in the user manual to not use two griddle plates at once.
Cool!
Thanks Laszlo. More vids in the works. Stay tuned.
What Q model do you have?
Q1200
Tip number 6 on a hot day in Australia put it on the footpath and cook eggs and bacon on it
Burgers on the griddle??
Yes. Usually smash burger style. Check out my sliders video. th-cam.com/video/Up8OdDBe4nI/w-d-xo.html
For fellow Australians, a griddle is what we call a hot plate.
Right on D C. Thanks for watching in Australia. Cheers!
Hi, have you tested the Weber iGrill series thermometer?
No I haven't. But if you search "best meat thermometer 2018" in TH-cam, a ton of videos come up. Hope this helps.
He’s cute
are you reviewing the griddle or cholesterol? keep on grilling.
Clarify your butter and you won't have to worry about burning it.
Great tip!
Kave you ever tried it on the stovetop ? of course with the stove fan on!
Keep putting the heat to the meat, Fire Escape Griller!!!
Yessir! Will do.
When are you going to be doing your next videos
Trying to put out one per week, but it's a lot of work. Thanks for watching, George.
Also, I try to upload them later in the week, typically Thursday, Friday or Saturday around noon.
Do your burgers on the grate. They come out better anyway. Use the griddle for things like eggs etc. Problem solved.
I mix it up. My wife really likes smash burgers on the griddle. I like the easier cleanup of a dad burger on the grates. All good either way. Cheers!
Your using the hot plate the grill is the slotted side

That’s the whole point of the video about the GRIDDLE.... not the grill
@@jackwebb5917 i know that but he is bitching about the fat content use the fucking grill is what i was tell him
1:52 who the fuck cooks bacon with butter and then complain about being greasy..? I've owned this grill for about 3 yrs and have had no issue with grease.
Alright.
🍾💣🍷🎉🍺It is our time of year #PyroNation and #BBQNation for what we love!🍗🍖😆🎆🎇🚀
Get 2 griddles put one on each side
Weber recommends not doing that. But I've never tried it. Cheers man!
I learned you cant do that. There’s no vent for air and the flame will go out
BBQ*
its a grill not a griddle i love how i never screw up a steak!
Why is bbq bacon better!?
It's the same. This grill is portable and great for cooking bacon on camping trips.
Bacon, bacon, bacon! :)
Alright, alright, alright!
