Weber Q-300

The Weber Q-300 gas grill is very similar to the Weber Q-320 (*Est. $380). Both bolt to Weber's Q cart (*Est. $90 when sold separately, but included with the Q-300) and both use a 20-pound propane tank (not included). Both grills also have two stainless steel burners with a total output of 21,700 BTU, and a primary cooking area of 393 square inches. There are, however, a few differences: The Q-300 has a push-button ignition instead of the Q-320's electric ignition, and the Q-300 doesn't have a warming rack.

On the plus side, the Q-300 draws customer praise for its sturdy construction. Consumers also rave about Weber's customer service and readily available replacement parts. We found only a smattering of complaints; a few users wish the Q-300 gas grill imparted the taste of a charcoal grill, and one says that the shape tends to catch grease, which can cause a fire (this seems to be an isolated issue.) User opinions are also somewhat divided about how easy it is to clean the porcelain-coated, cast-iron grilling grates, but most say it's not too hard. If you want a truly portable grill, the Weber Go-Anywhere Gas Grill (*Est. $60) weighs just 14 pounds.

The most thorough review of the Weber Q-300 -- and the only expert review we found -- was from Derrick Riches, the About.com guide to barbecues and grilling. We also found plenty of enthusiastic user reviews from Amazon.com, GrillsDirect.com and AceHardware.com to round out the picture of how this grill performs.
