I've been using a Q100 / Baby Q for over 2 years
now, and am still impressed by the quality of the product and what I'm
able to do with it given it's small size. Here's the set up:
Q100 Grill
Weber Cart
Bulk tank adapter
5-lb. propane tank
The
grill surface is large enough for a family of four. Six 1/3 lb. burgers
fit well enough; more and they are hard to turn. I've also been able to
do two average sized tri-tips at once. The lid isn't tall enough to
allow a whole chicken. I was a bit wary of the 8K BTU rating at first,
but the grill heats up just fine- it will do a wonderful sear on pretty
much anything after 7-10 minutes of preheat. The heat is also very even,
with the virtually whole grill surface usable. The best thing about the
small burner is fuel efficiency; 5 lbs. of propane lasts all season (in
SoCal!) at 1-2 uses per week. Please note that this is a single burner
grill with a ring-shaped burner. Indirect cooking isn't really possible
although on low heat, one can get close enough to do justice to a
tri-tip.
I've only got a couple of small complaints... First, the
support ring for the portable tank (at least with the Baby Q) only
accepted 14 oz. propane bottles- the kind used with plumber's torches.
They are more expensive than the 16 oz. bottles used for camping. I just
made my own 16 oz. bottle ring out of a heavy coat hanger. Of course
with the bulk tank, this is a non-issue. The 5 lb. tank (from Home
Depot) is pretty small. Second, the grill is somewhat sensitive to wind.
A good breeze blowing through the sides causes a definite loss of
temperature above the grill surface, under the lid. Cooking is still
possible but times go up about 30-40%
