The Weber Q 1000, available from Weber and other retailers for $229.00, is a highly rated option for a car camping grill. While Weber produces a wide variety of grill sizes, the Q 1000 offers an excellent blend of quality, cooking power, and portability at a reasonable price.
The overall dimensions of the Weber Q 1000 measure 27 inches wide, 16.5 inches front to back, and 14.5 inches tall with the lid closed, smaller than many ice chests. While Weber doesn’t list weight information for the Q 1000, Camping World indicates the assembled grill weighs 28.5 pounds. Its liquid propane gas-fired stainless-steel burner delivers up to 8,500 BTU per hour.
While the stainless-steel burner description indicates the presence of only one burner, it’s not a single strip down the center of the grill. Instead, the Q 1000’s single burner loops around near the perimeter underneath the grill grate to provide more uniform heating and even cooking temperatures. The Weber Q 1000 provides 189 square inches of cooking space. The included “porcelain-enameled, cast-iron cooking grates” provide excellent heat transfer to sear those grill marks into your steak and an easy-to-clean surface.
Out of 1,395 reviews on Weber.com, 1,088 reviewers gave the Q 1000 Gas Grill five stars. According to reviewers, the lack of a latch to lock the lid for transport is the most significant design failure.
