New Q

Post by davida »

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 per side will just about do it.

(Gotta love tax returns!)

at "2 mins per side" I'm interested to see just how rare, or how thin the rump Steak is :roll:

I use >1 ½ inch thick (Porterhouse) steaks @ 4 mins a side for med rare :)

Nice looking BBQ :D

The red colour looks good. Far better than the standard grey/beige.

Good to hear Weber has made the new mid-range Q burn hotter.

Post some pics of the cooks. eg steaks. Interested to see how well it does things like grill marks.

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.....

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

Grill marks look fine
