Propane Level Indicator
Charbroil Gas
My husband and I are great fans of grilling. When we were living in a house we used to use our charcoal barbecue every week but recently we have moved to an apartment and, since we don’t have a backyard anymore (but a small terrace), we had to come up with a solution for the grilling.
So, I started my research for an alternative to my old charcoal grill. I found online some great reviews for the Weber Q 100 Portable Gas Grill and decided to give it a try. My final decision to take the plunge was encouraged by the recommendation made by a friend of ours who is a great fan of grilling as well (and considers himself an expert on the subject).
I had my doubts whether my food was going to be as tasty as the one grilled on charcoal but, as it turned out to be, my concerns were out of place.

First of all it’s very well made and sturdy. The grill has a heavy Cast Iron grate unlike some cheaper grills you can find on the market, that have thin grates. The grill surface is not that big but it’s enough for a family of four.
The grill heats up wonderfully and the heat is even.
Every food we have made on the grill tasted great and you get a nice sear after some 6-8 minutes of preheat (I just love the grill marks on the steaks).
The food gets done quite quickly so beware if you don’t pay attention it can get dried out. Definitely get a stop watch and you’ll be doing just fine.
I was a little concerned about the gas tanks that this grill operates on (I never used one in my life) but it’s really a no-brainer. The grill works on a standard 14.1 or 16.4 ounce propane cylinders. I hooked my grill up to a 5 lb propane tank (and it lasted for quite a while), but I have read that some people use larger gas tanks with an adapter hose.
The grill is so much easier to operate than a charcoal grill. It ignites at the push of a button and has an adjustable burner valve with a regulator so you can control the heat.
Since I hate cleaning my grills, I found it to be very helpful (and later read the same thing from other grill users) to use aluminum foil on the inside of the grill. So I clean the grill in no time. Furthermore you can use a foil tray for the drip pan as well.
I use another trick that saves me some cleanup: I brush the grill or the meat with oil so the food doesn’t stick so much.
I found the book you get with the grill to be most helpful. It had some great instructions and tips, especially the grilling time charts.
Since I’m using this grill so much (a couple of time per week) I bought the folding cart for this model too. It’s such a great accessory to the grill. I recommend you get a grill brush as well.

I have to say I’m absolutely enthusiastic about this grill. It’s really worth every penny I paid (the price is not that high though). I forgot my old charcoal grill. The Weber Q 100 is so much easier to use. You can prepare your food in no time and, what’s important to me, you don’t have to have a backyard at your disposal. Of course if you are planning a barbecue party then you should get a larger one. The Q 100 is ideal for a family of four (like mine) or if you’re single, and if you don’t have a couple of hours to grill. Most of the times, when I get from work, I just light my grill and have a great meal in 20 minutes. I found this to be a priceless commodity.
Here is another little tip: try to always keep the Burner Ring grease free or it won’t light well. The Weber Portable Gas Grill Q 100 is one of the most popular Gas Grills on the market (actually it’s the most sold gas grill on Amazon.com).

If you could only have 1 barbecue accessory, what would it be?
Assuming you have the grill and charcoal lit and ready, what is your most necessary accessory? I have a digital thermometer fork and that is my most practical, but I also have an apron that says “Meat is murder! Tasty, tasty murder!” and that is my favorite accessory.

I like to have a digital fork thermometer in one hand and tongs in another – and I wear my favorite apron that smells like charcoal, steaks, and mustard oddly enough.

Is it okay to leave a covered bbq Grill with propane tank outside in the Michigan winter?
It will be on our patio.
I live in Yukon. My house is heated by propane (well, until -40C, when it gels. Then I have to use wood.) The tank is outside, so your situation should be fine.
BTW, while Ottawa is the 2nd coldest, it is Ulan Bator, Mongolia that is coldest. Ottawa is colder than Moscow!
And to think I moved to Yukon from Ottawa….
(-10C as I write this. Brrrr!)
