$20 well spent. I've always been a charcoal guy too. I got into the Q series when I was living in a place that didn't allow charcoal grills. It's great for a lot of things. Including, surprisingly, steak. These Qs cook a great steak! Always good to have a grill for quick cooks: lunch, hotdogs, sausages, when it's raining, basically anytime you don't feel like firing up the charcoal grill. Love to hear your thoughts after a few weeks. Cheers man!
Paint stir stick works great for cleaning the bottom of the grill. They are free and bend pretty well. I tend to like the longer ones but I’ve found they work great especially if you don’t want to disassemble the unit. As for the ash catcher, I line it with tin foil. 👍🏼 nice video
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it and will definitely look into a roasting rack. I don't suppose it has to be a webber but also I would put a tin pan under it to catch the drippings and save the burner.
Weber makes a tin pan they called the roasting shield. Neither the weber rack or shield are available in the U.S. for some reason. You can use a rack from a toaster oven and a couple sheets of tin foil as the shield. Cheers!
About to purchase my first q1200 after downsizing and selling my massive campchef griddle I never used. Thanks for all the info. Also, where can I get that red shirt....love it
I have the Q1000 no thermometer, great grill, I use it several times a week. It is so easy to use. If you are looking at grills walk past all of the units at the Big Box store and go to the Weber section. Cast aluminim will last over 30 years, Weber makes and sells their own parts, unlike most Big Box grills.
Thanks 🙏Right on! Love ❤️to view your videos on TH-cam - always interesting, informative & well done. From British Columbia, Canada. 🍁🇨🇦 Long time subscriber.
Another great video. Looks like I am well set as I have all those accessories. I recently bought the cart which frees up my outdoor table for more prep space
Hey! I learned something! I have the exact same tongs that you like. Never knew that I could lock them with the end! I have just been using the plastic sleeve that was on them. DUH! ☺
Another game-changer is a 4-6 probe Bluetooth thermometer. It allows for effortless cooks of larger cuts of meat like whole chickens, pork roasts, beef tenderloins and more.
Great video. I would add in pizza stone and pizza tray somewhere. Weber Q cooks a fantastic pizza!! Funny in Australia we get the hose standard and the rack is freely available. Don't understand why Weber short changes US customers. Love your tshirt by the way! Cheers from Adelaide, South Australia! Webering while i watch! 😅
I think Weber Qs are much less expensive here in the US. Not sure why Weber makes the trivet inaccessible. I think I bought one of the last ones in the states right before they were discontinued. Huge mistake by Weber in my opinion.
Great video as always 👍 One thing though. Whatever grill scraper you get will probably be fine. The Weber ones aren't anything special either and will absolutely also lose hairs over time, just the same as any other brand. The main thing and what's really important, is to blow your grates clean after you've brushed them. A standard mouth and a set of lungs will do the trick 😁
8:55 to prevent metal in the food I always use a wet towel after I scrape with the bristles or I just actually use a stainless scrubby and clean it on the grass with soap and a hose where nobody walks - works great.
Good video and list of things to have.i agree that tongs are the top of the list with spatulas coming in a second close place. No such thing as to many of either one. Different sizes, shapes. Grabbing or edgs surfaces. And the novelty ones, like you're favorite sports team or beer opener, etc. And also just having extras of your favorites because sometimes they get misplaced at the darndest times. Or when you place the tool on a hanger and the dog comes along and licks the tool 🤬, yuppers that's not a fun experience 😅. Great video, have a great day. 😊
Very informative. I would add a veggie basket on my list. Also, an alternative to the wire brush is a bamboo scraper. I switched to bamboo a few years ago and have been very happy with it. Keep on grilling.
thank you so much for your inspirations - you really do help folks like me and others out there becoming a better griller !!! And - before using the tongs - clap them at least 2 or 3 times - otherwise they don't work ;-)
Great video again Brian! Allways a pleasure to watch Your calm videos! And great to have you making videos again! Take it easy, look after yourself and keep on grillin'❤ Cheers from Denmark!
Griddle plate is essential but you can now buy a disposable Weber aluminium tray that goes on the grill underneath the griddle to diffuse the heat. Easier than messing about with foil, makes it very easy to roast. Tip from Australia.
I suggest a smaller version of the 20# propane tank. Bought a 5# tank ( technically it holds 4.5 lbs. of propane ) and adapter hose. It's refillable just like the bigger tank is and is way less weight and bulk to lug around and sure beats the cost of those 1 lb. canisters. Initial cost is pricey, though. I believe I paid 45 dollars for mine 5 years ago , but just like everything else the price of one of those smaller tanks has gone way up.
I must be doing something right since I was able to say "check...check...check..." on all of your top 10. My deviation on the Weber cart is that I bought a used metal tool cart for $15, removed the center tray, replace the thin uprights that went from top to bottom with 1/8" angle iron, put two 20lb bottles in milk crates in the lower tray (fit perfectly) with a braided fuel hose, some 3/16" x 6"w x 28"l flat bar and Harbor Freight 10" diameter knobby tires on casters that allow me to move it around in the sand and grass here in the NC Sandhills. Also a flip up tray on each side for additional food prep surface area. It is heavy duty and I call it my hillbilly grill cart. It might not be pretty but it gets the job done each and every time I use it 3 or 4 times a week. I also have a lid drip tray and grate scraper from Kaon of Australia. Both work as intended and designed. The scraper is great actually. This is for my Weber Q 1200. You have created a grilling monster. I am constantly looking for a deal on a 2200.
I just bought a braided fuel hose for my Napoleon grill (I'll review that shortly). It's awesome and should keep the rodents away. Love your ideas. Please keep them coming.
@@iwantblue491 You'll have to wait on pics for two reasons. 1st, I don't know how to post pics on the Internet since PhotoBucket screwed many of us over. 2nd, I am 300 miles away from my grill as of this morning.
Wow! That was a very comprehensive and concise tutorial on the impliments you might need for any grilling you may do. Also, the scenery behind makes me wonder what is hidden in the woods. Very serene and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Hey, thanks for the video. I am very happy with your utility choices cause I made pretty much the same (...and don't have much else)😀. Might be worth adding, that these pressure regulators often come with a little gauge without beeing expensive. Quite nice to know, whats left in the tank. Cheers from northern Germany and keep on grilling!
I’ve never needed tongs, but the list is great otherwise. Im hoping the LP small canisters fit my needs. Just picked up a 1200 Monday. Really want the griddle as my first purchase, good for boneless chicken breast, turkey burger and lean ground beef so it doesn’t dry out.
I put folded household paper in the foil tray and replace it when necessary, it acts like a sponge. Kaon stainless steel side tables have replaced the plastic ones and they not only look good, the are also a lot more stable.
@@viridian4573 the foil tray is well below the burner tube and actually "outside" the grillshell, i.e. it is highly unlikely that the household paper catches fire.🤞
So, I’m in the market for a small grill. Like the size and price of the Q1200 since I’m single, in a city high rise with a deck and just want it for me + maybe a couple of friends. BUT, the bldg requires me to plug into a Nat gas outlet provided - NO propane! Can this grill do that??? Ya- I pay for it on my utility bill….please let me know if you know about that. THX !!!
Oh, absolutely. I use it as a timer for steaks. When I'm half done, time to flip the steak. When the beer is gone, steak is done. Perfect med-rare every time.
ThanX Man!! I just scored a 2000 and stand for $20!!! I've been a charcoal guy for years but cant pass up a good deal! Foil pan! Good idea!!
$20 well spent. I've always been a charcoal guy too. I got into the Q series when I was living in a place that didn't allow charcoal grills. It's great for a lot of things.

First accessory you need is beer

Making the most of it Paul. I haven't tried a rotisserie yet though. So that might be something to add to the list. Cheers!

Never turned down a Mezcal margarita on the rocks with tajin on the rim.
@@GallaghersGrub Or straight from the bottle, as the Lord intended it!
GRRRREAT TEQULA!!!!!
Great video! I was very interested in adding a griddle plate to cook breakfast. thx
The griddle plate is really a must have for any Q. Cheers!
I was out to get one of those Weber trays, and it really is helpful! I have everything on the list except the cart. Still need to get one of those!
The cart is definitely helpful, but if you have a table or stand to put it on, that would work fine.
Hey! I learned something! I have the exact same tongs that you like. Never knew that I could lock them with the end! I have just been using the plastic sleeve that was on them. DUH! ☺
Lol! Most tongs lock. Cheers and thanks for watching.
Just got the 1200 at Target for $70. Excited to try it. Need the stand
Yeah, you'll need a stand at some point. Hope your new Q is doing you well. Cheers!
Another game-changer is a 4-6 probe Bluetooth thermometer. It allows for effortless cooks of larger cuts of meat like whole chickens, pork roasts, beef tenderloins and more.
I'm thinking of picking up a meatstick or a meater. Will let you know what I go with.

I'd like to suggest the rotisserie set. Really love it. Also a game changer!
Brilliant ideas as usual! I have them all bar the griddle plate 😢. Must get one!! 🏴
Yes, smash burgers are hard to beat. I almost never cook regular burgers anymore.

Tip from Australia.
Weber discontinued selling the aluminum trays in the US market a few years back. No explanation. Cheers! And thanks for watching in Australia!
Have q200 for 25 years just change out burner and regulator when they go with is 3 times since i own best grill around
It's a great little grill, built like a tank. Cheers!
Be environmental friendly by washing out the foil trays I’ve used the same one for six months now.
Yes, I wash mine out several times as well.
I suggest a smaller version of the 20# propane tank. Bought a 5# tank ( technically it holds 4.5 lbs. of propane ) and adapter hose.

Thanks Stuart. Good to hear from you, sir. Cheers!
Is the Q fitted with cast iron grates or are they non stick?
If so are there cast iron after market grates?
Every Weber Q comes with porcelain enameled cast iron grates. They don’t need to be seasoned and can be washed with soap and water.
Hey, thanks for the video. I am very happy with your utility choices cause I made pretty much the same (...and don't have much else)😀.
Might be worth adding, that these pressure regulators often come with a little gauge without beeing expensive. Quite nice to know, whats left in the tank.
Cheers from northern Germany and keep on grilling!
Great idea about the propane gauge. Thanks for watching in Germany. Prost!
I’ve never needed tongs, but the list is great otherwise. Im hoping the LP small canisters fit my needs. Just picked up a 1200 Monday. Really want the griddle as my first purchase, good for boneless chicken breast, turkey burger and lean ground beef so it doesn’t dry out.
Congrats on the new 1200. It's a great little grill that cooks a killer steak. Trust me on the tongs. Cheers!
I blame your videos for me owning a q1200 now and my GF demanding beer brats on the regular
Keep the girlfriend happy.😂
Beer brats on the regular! You poor thing. Cheers!
I put folded household paper in the foil tray and replace it when necessary, it acts like a sponge. Kaon stainless steel side tables have replaced the plastic ones and they not only look good, the are also a lot more stable.
We made a video of the Kaon side tables. They're definitely cool.
You also need a fire extinguisher for when the paper towel catches fire.
@@viridian4573 the foil tray is well below the burner tube and actually "outside" the grillshell, i.e. it is highly unlikely that the household paper catches fire.🤞
@@sergepoupon The burner isn't the problem, flare ups from dripping fats could spread to the paper towel.

What part # is the Weber Q roasting rack?
Weber no longer sells the roasting rack in the U.S. you just need to find one that fits.
Hello, What brand is your thermometer?
I use a ThermoPro
Chef’s hat and a Weber apron would be nice 🎉🙈🌟😢
GOOD VIDEO
Do not get porcelain coated grille plate. Mine is 100% cast iron. My original weber grates were porcelain coated and it started flaking off.
How did food not even get an honourable mention?!

What the heck is a smash burger?
It's the trendy way to cook a burger where you take a ball of ground beef and smash it into a thin paddy on your griddle with a burger press.
