I can totally agree with what you said , i have the family q and bought this tray , thinking it would make life easier. To me it just adds to cleaning that i don't want to do. Plus the slots are missing to locate correctly so as you said i think they should make life easier not worse. I always find your reviews helpful and open. Thankyou for sharing as this is a product people need to discuss and there were no real consumer reviews out there.
Thankyou for your feedback and continued support of my channel, like I said I will always give true honest reviews of products I use on both my channels. I will not be influenced by any company whether I have worked for them or not . I will share my experience from a consumers point of view. Thankyou once again for continued support of my channels. 👍🔔
I don't like washing if I don't have to! Another aspect as a con for re -use is; We travel and camp alot, often remotely, and for camping where possible. We take our Baby Q with us. If we used a re usable tray we would be wasting our precious water supply, cleaning it. Disposable allows the residue, in a hot fire, to burn off, for "hygienic"disposal. ...So when you put the remains/ aluminum residue into your trash bag or bin, it won't smell. The mentioning of locating the drain holes correctly IS very important! Any fat, not draining away correctly, is more at risk of pooling, overheating, splattering and getting on to the burners! We all have our likes and dislikes...I like disposable 😁
So giad I could help, whatever bbq accessory it is. I will always give honest review from my option as a consumer, whether it be a Weber product or other brand. Glad I could help , thankyou for great comment and support of my channel. Really Appreciated 👍🔔
Thankyou for sharing I love to hear from everyones prospective of how they have found the products they use . I had to share my review with the pros and cons I found with this product and what they could do to improve it . Thankyou for you comment and support of my content. 👍🛎
@@WeberEnthusiast if you wash with soap and water you will never have problem metal is not a sponge. After all you do clean your oven with it. If it being caustic is your concern you can spray vinegar on it. That will neutralize the lye which is what oven cleaner is. That is what i strip my old cast iron pans with never had a problem.
@@WeberEnthusiast Personally I don't use "oven cleaners" on my webers. But, they are made for exactly that purpose. How many of the millions of oven cleaner users around the world have flammable gas fires for you to base this statement on ?
Wow never heard that. But im sure you would not want to spray it in a oven that was on. I dont think lye itself is flamable. But the propellants are. Some common sense is required when using any propellant. When i clean our oven i always warm my oven up a little turn it off for a few minutes and then spray it down. I have been doing it like that for 40 years have not blown up yet. I would not clean an aluminum grill with it though the aluminum may not like it. But that stainless is ok though. I like your steam method for the grill. As always great video.
Sounded more like a Cons video than a Pros & Cons Video. I’ve only had my steel tray for a month and only used it 6 times. Personally never had an issue. $45 from eBay.
I paid $45 for mine this is just my opinion. Like I said they need to address the issues I found when using it . For now I will stick with what makes my life easier . I review many product across both my channels and will alway share my honest opinion of these products. I am not paid to do reviews I just share what I feel is the best review from my own personal experience of using them. Thankyou for comment and support of my channel. Really appreciate all feed back .
A lot of people do that , my issue is it moving and then draining straight on centre of burner risking a fat fire . I still use Weber trays that’s my choice , plus I hate scrubbing burnt on fat . 👍👍
I just use a bit of aluminium foil and poke a few holes in it, does the same thing as a convection tray. The guy in the Weber shop gave me this tip and I think they mention it on the DVD that comes with your Weber.
I used to do that when first started demming webers . Then convection trays came out made life a lot easier . Less chance of fat fire and we had a few with tin foil not having holes in correct place or fat build up due to not flat. I still use tin foil if I’m desperate and have no trays . Thanks for comment and support really appreciated 👍🛎
and for those who are extra keen, you are not throwing away yet more aluminium, use once and throw away, use once and throw away, they are very expensive for what they are.
I agree they are expensive for what they are , but we live in a throw away society. I have a separate bin for mine so I take them to local metal yard and they recycle for free
@@roscored1000 I know but a lot of people out there hate cleaning ,. I probably use 2 packs of these over a yr and way more aluminium foil in the Uk we have throw away BBQs made out of aluminium trays , with charcoal in and a griddle ontop . The sell loads of those which people use for camping and day trip.
@@WeberEnthusiast we have them as well in australia, dont know of anyone who has one but they are there. Hey I hate cleaning too, but I also hate paying taxes and mean dogs but they are a fact of life. each to their own.
@@roscored1000 totally agree we all have our own views and I embrace them . I will always give honest reviews from my experience, like I did with the Weber rotisserie, pros and cons and what improvements they should do for us consumers. After all we pay a high price for products in Australia compared to 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 and Europe . So we should get value for the money we work hard for . I haven’t seen throw away BBQs in Adelaide supermarkets
The lazy throw away society lol. I've had mine for several years, never had a single problem. As for getting it looking all shiny and new after a wash, not going to happen. Have a look at the best chef's in the worlds pots n pans.. same same. Use it for a few months and get back to us. PS. I do like a lot of your vids, keep up the good work:)
Totally disagree with your review. Ive have three of them for each size. Never had an issues with lining up. Friends have them and we all love them. You make it like lining it up is critical. You put it smack dab in the middle of the plate and its done. The only time it warps is if you put it in by its self with nothing on it. As soon as it cools its straight. I put it in with a roast on it. No problem at all. But you work for Weber so why would you have anything nice to say if it takes money off Weber and saves us money. Put it in the dishwasher with a soak. Comes out perfect.
Thankyou fir sharing your opinion I appreciate all feed back . I work for Weber occasionally to demonstrate. I’m just sharing my experience with it as a consumer as how I feel about it . Like I said in the video it’s up to everyone who watches to decide fir themselves. I give no bias reviews on both my channels. I’m not going to promote something I’m not happy using .
@@WeberEnthusiast agree and it’s also just my opinion too. But I wouldn’t be without mine. I think they are one of the best purchases. Along with the drip tray they sell for the back of the hinge.
Sorry, but lining up is critical. That is why Weber design their convection trays the way they do. If not positioned correctly or they accidently slide out of position, or if the Q is not level, Fat drippings will not go between the grill bars, but drip or funnel directly on to the burners....risking a fire or flare up.
I don't understand why weber ship them to Australia but don't support the US when they are built in Chicago I'm looking at doing giveaways like i do in my other channel so may have to do something for the US viewers of my channel. Thankyou for watching and support of my channel really appreciated
Never had mine move, warp or be anything but perfect. Last time I checked, the chicken isn’t going to run around in the Weber and have the tray move.. 😂
I hate paying for quite expensive foil trays, couldn't care less of it gets character.. I have a huge sink to soak the trivet and the tray overnight. Bung it in the dishwasher. I agree to disagree on this one
I just share what I think as a compliment consumer , everyone is entitled to make there own decision as I said at end of video . That’s why I shared the link which I am not Aphiliated with .
Your constant talk on moving made no sense. With weight on it, nothing moves. As for me, I'll stick to aluminum foil. As to cleaning, it depends on if you have time to clean or money to toss.
Like I said in video , it’s everyone personal choice . I put across honest reviews on any product across both my cooking and cleaning channel no matter what the brand . As I consumer I highly believe in getting what you pay for . Thsnkyou for comment and support really appreciated 👍🛎
@@WeberEnthusiast sorry that I'm one of those that reacts on first impressions. My first reaction as I watched was that you seemed to work a bit to hard to knock the permanent one. May be the truth but I thought it was nit picking taken to the extremes. Talking about the grease coming off or that one has to wash it. Well, grease or oil is a permanent fact of cooking. On the qs the grill is designed to cover the burner. As to washing, grilling always involves cleaning. So if I'm wanting to lessen that I prefer foil. On my q2200 I use foil in the grease tray rather than the premade pans. All that stuff adds up to dollars. But hey, if you have the bucks to throw away, have at it. I have watched other videos of yours and have had no issues. And thanks for those !

I wonder if you spray it down with oven cleaner if it would be easier to clean.
Problem is oven cleaner is caustic and flammable. Even after washing you still have possibility of flammable fumes

What about using a baking tray, with holes drilled in the same spots as the Weber tray?
A lot of people do that , my issue is it moving and then draining straight on centre of burner risking a fat fire .

The real trays are so cheap for a 10 pack, do a way better job and the whole point is to have the holes lined up nicely to prevent fat fires.

I'm looking at doing giveaways like i do in my other channel so may have to do something for the US viewers of my channel.

Takes all the enjoyment out of roasting on Weber . 👍👍🔔
