Top Shelf,
Although I’m a diehard charcoal fan, I do believe that a gas grill has it’s place.
I’ve owned a Weber One Touch Performer with the gas ignition for over 13 years, and use it about 4 times a week. It looks as good today as it did when I first bought it. Weber is a wonderful company that always stocks parts even on discontinued models, and their customer service is second to none.
As well, I own a couple of smokers and an island gas grill from Barbecues Galore. The ignition no longer works on the gas grill, after only a couple of years, and thus far I’ve been unable to get a replacement from them. Interestingly, I only used the grill maybe twice a month.
Well, I bought the Q 300 about 3 weeks ago, thinking I’d use it occasionally. Guess what? I can’t stop using it. It’s that great.
I put it together with little effort, and it’s really a nice looking piece of equipment. Also, the cover is extremely well made.
The Q 300 lights quietly and effortlessly. The grill heats to over 500 degrees in less than 10 minutes.
The best part? The porcelain coated cast iron grates.
If you want a grill capable of really searing, and creating serious grill marks, than look no further.
Of all the grills I have now and have previously owned, none have created the grills marks that this baby does.
And, not just on meat. It grills veggies like nobody’s business.
I love the way they have the perimeter burner as well as the burner which runs through the middle. This allows you to cook with indirect heat if you turn of the middle burner.
It has lots of room for cooking, while at the same time using a small footprint if you lower the side tables.
Add to all this the Weber 5 year warranty, their excellent customer service, and their reputation for quality.
You can’t go wrong.
Yes, you can get many gas grills for less money. But, in my experience, they don’t last.
You get what you pay for, if you’re lucky.
If you’re even thinking about buying this grill, then don’t hesitate. You’ll be glad you bought it.

|Love this grill,
I’ve had the Q300 for about 10 weeks and grilled on it 3-4 times per week. Grilled steaks, roasts, chicken (both direct and indirect heat), pork
loins, hamburgers and hotdogs and the Q300 handled it all.
Gets hot fast:
From start with both burners on high…3 minutes grill is at 310 degrees….7 minutes 400 degrees…..10 minutes 520 degrees….14 minutes maxes out at 590 degrees
I like to cook chicken and pork over indirect heat, so I really like having the two burners with separate controls. The larger burner runs the perimeter of the grill and a second, smaller burner, goes down the center.
Outside burner only (High)..maintains 400 degrees,(Low)..300 degrees
Center burner only (High)..maintains 300 degrees,(Low)..200 degrees
Both burners on (High)..maintains 590 degrees, (Low)..500 degrees
Heavy duty cast-iron cooking grates. Grates dimensions are 25″ x 17.5″.

|Big enough for a family,
I won’t elaborate since the other reviews do a great job. Just want to add my 2 cents that the grill is outstanding – gets hot quickly, cooks everything you throw at it, and has plenty of surface space for grilling for about 6-8 people.
If you frequently throw parties then buy a larger grill, but if you primarily grill for the family then this one is excellent!
