Product Review
Just in time for the cookout season, Weber expands its popular Q liquid propane barbecue line with the Q 300 propane gas grill. This full-size model maintains and often expands upon the tabletop original's conveniences, while benefiting from more permanent patio installation. The liquid propane grill employs two 13,850 BTU burners to heat its 393-square inch cooking area, providing space for several dozen hot dogs or even a medium-sized turkey.
Weber crafted the grill's tall lid and body in tough cast aluminum, framed by a heat- and moisture- resistant nylon frame with glass reinforcement. A simple push-button ignition fires up the stainless-steel burners. Users adjust the burners' output with a control knob and monitor the heat on a built-in thermometer in the lid. Meat cooks evenly on top of the two cooking grates. Constructed in sturdy cast-iron construction and porcelain enameling, the grates resist warping and rusting while cleaning with relative ease. Drip ducts help direct and collect greasy drippings. Two polyethylene side tables attach to create extra preparation space. Spatulas and tongs can be hung from the tool holders on the grill's frame. The provided regulator hose connects the grill to a separately purchased 20-pound propane tank, which stows unobtrusively on a lower shelf. Weber supplies users with hardware to bolt the grill in place and also bestows their Q cookbook. To clean the cooking surface, use mild detergents and avoid steel wool. The grill requires some minor assembly. Weber offers a limited five-year warranty for this item. With the lid closed, the grill measures 44 by 36-1/2 by 22 inches. This product weighs 84-2/3 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Reader Reviews
The Weber Q300 is quite a grill. I've only had it a week, but would like to report some things I like about it and make some comments, as well. First of all, I have been grilling for several years and gave up on finding a good gas grill for steaks. They just don't get hot enough unless you close the lid, in which case you have an oven instead of a grill. However Weber intended that steaks should cook on this grill, I have found that it is hot enough to sear a 1 1/2 inch steak and cook it rare with the lid open after preheating the grill with the lid closed. Mission accomplished -- but wait, there's more. 12 chicken thighs cooked on "indirect" heat with barbeque sauce added late in the cooking cycle took about 35 minutes at a thermometer temperature of 250 degrees and were perfectly done. This brings up the definition of "indirect" cooking. The weber cooking grate has solid metal over each burner, so when the burners are on low, there is no direct flame on the food; however, the grate is still cooking things pretty fast. This is not a slow-cook smoker. (I notice that Weber's recipe for a whole turkey is to put it on a rack, in water, in an aluminum pan. So there are ways to slow it down, apparently.) Close the lid and turn the flame up to reach 600 degrees, and you have a self cleaning oven that burned off the residual barbeque sauce. Addendum June 27. Last night was "cedar planked talapia" night. After soaking the planks in water both burners were adjusted to maintain a thermometer temperature of 450 degrees with the lid closed while the planks preheated and the fish cooked for about 30 minutes. I would say that the fish was cooked just the right amount. The good news is that the boards didn't catch fire even though they are solidly black on the bottom side. And that's the extent of my experience to-date. Design: The Weber Q300 appears to have been designed. It's not just a few pieces of sheet metal and some pipes bolted together through holes. It is a two piece clam shell of rather high precision cast aluminum that appears to reflect radiant heat onto the cooking surface. This allows the use of a somewhat smaller burner for a grill this size. The clam shell fits precisely into the glass-reinforced frame with metal inserts pressed in the right places for a hand-full of screws. The frame and the aluminum grill body can easily be lifted or pushed on its rollers until the 30 lb cast iron grill plates and 40 lb propane tank are added. Still, no wiggle or wobble in the frame, even when so heavily loaded. Assembly: If you are conversant with picture language, you can get about 75% of the assembly done. A few words are added at Critical Places, but they are easily over looked. For example, the first two screws that went in are the only ones that require washers, but the washers are not pictured in the assembly drawing where it says to put the screws in -- they are drawn really big somewhere else where you can't miss them later when you are trying to find out where they go. The only other problem was trying to find the axel, which is slender and slipped down between the layers of cardboard this thing was packed in. But it was all there, it went together, and the only problem seems to be that the lighter only works on the center burner. Otherwise, a gem of a grill.
