Weber gas BBQs compared: Q, Traveler, Spirit and Genesis

In its favour

• Three burners give enough width for a hot zone and a cooler indirect zone on the same cook.
• Flavorizer bars sit over the burners to catch drips, which Weber says reduces flare-ups.
• The listing gives a 10 year EU spare part availability period, useful for burners and bars later.

Good to know

• The listing does not state a total power figure in kW, so you cannot compare output directly.
• At 48 kg it is a cart grill to place once, not something to move around the garden often.

In its favour

• The largest cooking area of the portable grills here at 2,065 cm², enough for a family meal.
• The wheeled trolley opens and folds in seconds, so it rolls rather than being carried.
• Porcelain-enamelled cast iron grates and a lid thermometer, as on Weber's garden grills.

Good to know

• At 21.1 kg it is heavy to lift into a car boot compared with the Q 1100N or Go-Anywhere.
• The listing does not say which gas cartridge or bottle connection is supplied for the UK.

In its favour

• A 57 x 41 cm cooking surface holds up to 12 burgers, according to Weber.
• The domed lid gives more room for a roast chicken or a small joint.
• Side tables and a compact stand are included, so it is ready to use at a comfortable height.

Good to know

• One burner means indirect cooking relies on trays and careful heat, not a cool second zone.
• The listing gives a product footprint but no separate width with side tables folded.

In its favour

• Four burners with PUREBLU technology and 14 kW of stated power give wide, even heat zones.
• The closed two-door cabinet hides the gas bottle and keeps accessories dry.
• Fixed symmetrical side shelves give prep space on both sides of the grill.

Good to know

• The listing does not give the cooking area or weight, so check Weber's spec sheet first.
• It sits near the top of the Weber gas range and is more grill than many gardens need.

In its favour

• Only 45.5 cm deep on its stand, so it sits close to a wall or fence.
• The redesigned high-dome lid has 46% more room underneath than earlier models, says Weber.
• Front-facing knobs, electronic ignition and a lid thermometer are all named in the listing.

Good to know

• A 1,290 cm² grill is tight when cooking for more than four people at once.
• One 2.93 kW burner limits how much you can cook directly over heat at the same time.

In its favour

• A 2,745 cm² area across grill and griddle handles a crowd of burgers and sides together.
• Two racks are listed, so there is space to keep cooked food warm above the grate.
• The listing gives a 10 year EU spare part availability period.

Good to know

• At 8.2 kW the stated power is lower than the other four-burner grills here.
• The listing does not explain what Boost Mode does, so check Weber's description.
