Hauling a full-size charcoal or gas grill to every camping trip, picnic, or a day at the beach is such a messy and hard to do, but we don't have any choice as barbeques do not always happen in the backyard. Here is the solution, the Weber Q 1200. This gas grill is made for portability as this compact grill can be thrown into the trunk of your car but do not underestimate it as it can cook not only for yourself, your family, but also your friends as well. Using this Weber Q 1200, your single 16.4-ounce canister can last for two hours or more than and it is only the size of a Nalgene bottle. If you will use charcoal to cook the same cooking time then definitely you will be needing at least a whole bag of charcoal to equal the same cooking time as a couple of canisters can do.

Its portability sets this gas grill apart from its competitors as it can cook a huge quantity of food at its small casing.
