On a terraced-house patio or a courtyard garden every centimetre counts. A small gas BBQ needs to fit beside the back door, leave room to walk past and still cook for four to six people. The trade-off is width against cooking area: a two-burner cart grill gives you two heat zones but takes more floor, while a one-burner Weber Q on a stand fits a tighter corner and still holds nine to twelve burgers. Look at the footprint with side tables up and down, the cooking area in cm², how high the lid is for a small joint and whether a stand comes in the box. This guide compares five compact gas grills by those points, using the dimensions and figures given in each listing. Weights are shown because a light grill is easier to wheel into a shed for the winter.

## Products

### 1. Weber Spirit E-210 Gas Barbecue, 2 Burners, Cooking Surface 51 x 46 cm, Thermometer on Lid, 2 Wheels - Black/Silver (1500838)

Burners: 2; Power: 7.7 kW; Cooking area: 2,346 cm²; Footprint: 67.5 x 123 x 117 cm; Weight: 47 kg

Weber's two-burner Spirit E-210 with a 51 x 46 cm grill, 7.7 kW and a lid thermometer. The listing calls it a compact design for small spaces, and two burners allow real two-zone cooking.

In its favour:
- Two stainless steel burners let you keep one side hot and one side low for indirect cooking.
- A 2,346 cm² cooking area is the largest in this guide while staying 123 cm wide.
- Removable grease tray and compatibility with Weber grill accessories, per the listing.

Good to know:
- At 47 kg it is the heaviest here and is best left in one spot on the patio.
- Its 123 cm width needs more wall space than the Weber Q models on stands.

### 2. Weber Q 2200N – Gas Barbecue with Side Tables, Compact Stand, Enameled Iron Grills, Electronic Ignition, High Performance Burner, Midnight Black

Burners: 1; Power: 4.1 kW; Cooking area: 57 x 41 cm; Footprint: 79 x 49 x 59 cm; Weight: 34 kg

The Q 2200N pairs a 4.1 kW burner and a 57 x 41 cm grill with side tables and a compact stand. Weber says it fits up to 12 burgers, a good size for a family on a small patio.

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.

### 3. Weber Q 1200N Gas Barbecue with Side Tables & Stand

Burners: 1; Power: 2.93 kW; Cooking area: 1,290 cm²; Footprint: 45.5 x 105 x 109 cm; Weight: 19 kg

A Q 1200N on Weber's compact stand with side tables, a 2.93 kW burner and a 1,290 cm² grill for up to nine burgers. It suits couples and small families with a narrow patio.

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.

### 4. Weber Q2100N Gas Barbecue, Grill Surface 53 x 38 cm, Portable Barbecue, 1 Burner, High Lid, 2 Section Porcelain Enamelled Cast Iron Grill - Black (1501081)

Burners: 1; Power: 4.1 kW; Cooking area: 53 x 38 cm; Footprint: 50 x 76 x 42 cm (lid closed); Weight: 13.5 kg (per bullet points)

A tabletop Q2100N with a 4.1 kW burner, a 53 x 38 cm grill and a high lid. Weber pitches it for balconies and terraces; set it on a sturdy outdoor table or buy a stand.

In its favour:
- At 76 cm wide with the lid closed it fits a small table or wall bench on a patio.
- The burner reaches up to 316 °C, according to the listing, for good sear marks.
- Built to work with the Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub, sold separately, for food probes.

Good to know:
- No stand or side tables are mentioned, so you need a stable, heat-safe surface.
- The listing gives two weights, 13.5 kg in the text and 18 kg in the specs.

### 5. Weber Q2000 Titanium Gas Barbecue with Side Table

Burners: 1; Power: 2,640 W; Cooking area: 2,106 cm²; Footprint: 49.6 x 130.6 x 36.9 cm; Weight: 18.2 kg

The earlier Q2000 in titanium with a 54 x 39 cm split cast iron grill, aroma rails and a side table. A compact tabletop gas grill for a patio wall or outdoor table.

In its favour:
- A split enamelled cast iron grill gives a 2,106 cm² area in a body only 36.9 cm tall.
- A continuously adjustable valve gives fine control over the flame, says the listing.
- Integrated aroma rails sit between burner and food to vaporise drips.

Good to know:
- Piezo ignition is an older system than the electronic ignition on newer Q models.
- This is an earlier Q generation; check that spare parts are still listed by Weber.
