Just in time for the cookout season, Weber expands its popular Q liquid propane barbecue line with the Q 300 propane gas grill. This full-size model maintains and often expands upon the tabletop original's conveniences, while benefiting from more permanent patio installation. The liquid propane grill employs two 13,850 BTU burners to heat its 393-square inch cooking area, providing space for several dozen hot dogs or even a medium-sized turkey. Weber crafted the grill's tall lid and body in tough cast aluminum, framed by a heat- and moisture- resistant nylon frame with glass reinforcement. A simple push-button ignition fires up the stainless-steel burners. Users adjust the burners' output with a control knob and monitor the heat on a built-in thermometer in the lid. Meat cooks evenly on top of the two cooking grates. Constructed in sturdy cast-iron construction and porcelain enameling, the grates resist warping and rusting while cleaning with relative ease. Drip ducts help direct and collect greasy drippings. Two polyethylene side tables attach to create extra preparation space. Spatulas and tongs can be hung from the tool holders on the grill's frame. The provided regulator hose connects the grill to a separately purchased 20-pound propane tank, which stows unobtrusively on a lower shelf. Weber supplies users with hardware to bolt the grill in place and also bestows their Q cookbook. To clean the cooking surface, use mild detergents and avoid steel wool. The grill requires some minor assembly. Weber offers a limited five-year warranty for this item. With the lid closed, the grill measures 44 by 36-1/2 by 22 inches. This product weighs 84-2/3 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

 Works on Steak; Well Designed June 25, 2007

The Weber Q300 is quite a grill. I've only had it a week, but would like to report some things I like about it and make some comments, as well.
First of all, I have been grilling for several years and gave up on finding a good gas grill for steaks. They just don't get hot enough unless you close the lid, in which case you have an oven instead of a grill. However Weber intended that steaks should cook on this grill, I have found that it is hot enough to sear a 1 1/2 inch steak and cook it rare with the lid open after preheating the grill with the lid closed.
Mission accomplished -- but wait, there's more.
12 chicken thighs cooked on "indirect" heat with barbeque sauce added late in the cooking cycle took about 35 minutes at a thermometer temperature of 250 degrees and were perfectly done. This brings up the definition of "indirect" cooking. The weber cooking grate has solid metal over each burner, so when the burners are on low, there is no direct flame on the food; however, the grate is still cooking things pretty fast. This is not a slow-cook smoker. (I notice that Weber's recipe for a whole turkey is to put it on a rack, in water, in an aluminum pan. So there are ways to slow it down, apparently.)
Close the lid and turn the flame up to reach 600 degrees, and you have a self cleaning oven that burned off the residual barbeque sauce.
Addendum June 27. Last night was "cedar planked talapia" night. After soaking the planks in water both burners were adjusted to maintain a thermometer temperature of 450 degrees with the lid closed while the planks preheated and the fish cooked for about 30 minutes. I would say that the fish was cooked just the right amount. The good news is that the boards didn't catch fire even though they are solidly black on the bottom side.
And that's the extent of my experience to-date.
Design: The Weber Q300 appears to have been designed. It's not just a few pieces of sheet metal and some pipes bolted together through holes. It is a two piece clam shell of rather high precision cast aluminum that appears to reflect radiant heat onto the cooking surface. This allows the use of a somewhat smaller burner for a grill this size. The clam shell fits precisely into the glass-reinforced frame with metal inserts pressed in the right places for a hand-full of screws. The frame and the aluminum grill body can easily be lifted or pushed on its rollers until the 30 lb cast iron grill plates and 40 lb propane tank are added. Still, no wiggle or wobble in the frame, even when so heavily loaded.
Assembly: If you are conversant with picture language, you can get about 75% of the assembly done. A few words are added at Critical Places, but they are easily over looked. For example, the first two screws that went in are the only ones that require washers, but the washers are not pictured in the assembly drawing where it says to put the screws in -- they are drawn really big somewhere else where you can't miss them later when you are trying to find out where they go. The only other problem was trying to find the axel, which is slender and slipped down between the layers of cardboard this thing was packed in.
But it was all there, it went together, and the only problem seems to be that the lighter only works on the center burner. Otherwise, a gem of a grill.

i actually wanted to rate this 4.5 stars but couldn't. i really love this grill & probably use it 3 or 4x per week. i'll tell you that the assembly is a breeze. mine, which i did myself, took approx 90 min. my dad & i put one together (gift for mom) in about 45 minutes start to finish. it's a really nicely engineered product. my only knock on this grill is that i used to have a weber genesis silver, and it had a gauge to tell you when you were running low on fuel. this one does not. i have no idea when i'm going to go out to fire it up and realize there's no propane left in the tank. perhaps they'll add a gauge on future models. other than that, i can tell you that this grill lights easily and grills evenly. i like the layout of the burners and the option to really cook indirectly. whether this is the first grill you buy or you're already an accomplished grill master, you'll be happy with this good-lookin' weber. cheers, & happy grillin'!

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.

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!

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".
