Looks like a great outcome. Bet it was delicious. They are nor cheap but certainly worth it for the taste.

I did a 3 boner for my son and his wife for his birthday a few months ago in the Q200 and he reckoned it was the best beef he had ever eaten!

Couldn't agree more mate!

The red ones get hotter too!

Good free find. Looks as though it will do the job.

Did a couple of bits of rump to go in an Asian beef salad last night.

Grill marks look fine Steak was pretty OK after 2.5min per side.

Jumped in and bought a Weber kebab rack set. It works really well. So much easier than the cheap BG ones which just spin depending on where the weight is located.

The rump was standard butcher material about 20mm thick. Probably did a total of 5 min. It was nicely seared on the outside and still very pink in the middle - what I would call medium rare. It tasted delicious - very moist. Sorry no pics - we were hungry! I will do photos next time - mea culpa.....

Just bought a new Q1200 to co-exist with the now 8 year old Q220. This will be for travelling and picnics, being so much lighter. Heated it up for 10min after assembly and it gets a LOT hotter than the Q220. Must be the colour that helps! Will try a piece of rump on it tonight. I reckon about 2min p...

Lovely looking backyard! All the resident critters will come and sit by your lovely fire, I bet.

Are these available in Australia yet? If so, who stocks them?

thanks

Here is some info on how to position and use the units.

Sounds like you are a very "spirited" new BBQ owner, Tats.

Thanks for your insight, Dave.

I agree that the Spirit looks pretty neat but my Q220 (now 6 years old) does everything I want. It certainly has been the best BBQ I have ever used.

Any idea on the comparative gas consumption? My Q220 is an absolute gas miser.

I have had a Q220 for coming up to 6 years now. I have been delighted with it, using it 3 - 5 nights a week to cook just about everything (except desserts!) It has worked without any problems except an igniter which Weber replaced under warranty at about 4 years. Just wondering how long anybody here...

It looks like you have done a great job with the veg mix. I will have to try this. My wife is always asking me to cook the veggies in the pan juices but I have always just followed the Weber instructions with the trivet on a double layer of pierced foil.

Thanks for the pics.
