Weber® Premium Q™ Barbecues
Dear Weber, I’m a sixty year old bloke who has had a Weber kettle for over 20 years
in regular use. It looks like crap but works perfectly. My sons bought me a Weber Q for
Christmas. Being a purist and a skeptic, I thought “gas Weber won’t work”. Wrong. Ive used it nearly every day
since Christmas. About the only thing I haven’t cooked is breakfast ‘cos I haven’t bought the plate yet. Haven’t
had a failure - the bloody thing’s marvellous. Even the booklet is easy to read and obviously written
by someone who has actually used one. If I had a criticism, it’s that I can’t quite get through a beer when cooking
a steak.
Well done you lot,
Peter Rea
At Weber we often randomly ring people two or three weeks after we receive their Weber Q warranty information. We just like to check that everything is OK and that they are enjoying our product. The responses we get when we ask how they are going with it is nearly all the same: “We love it” or “I love it”. We hardly ever hear a bad word. The fact is that many of these people love it so much that they go and buy a second Q, a different size that they use for either camping or entertainment. When asked “are you using it much?” the usual response is “three or four times a week”. Caravanners seem to use theirs two to three times a day! Quite amazing really, when you consider that the average Australian only barbecues once or twice a month.
Why do people love the Q so much?
Unbelievable avour and versatility, all with the convenience of gas.
An Aussie snag is just a snag, right? And an Aussie steak, well it’s great, but its just a steak. Right? Wrong. Our Weber Q will transform either of these simple old favourites into juicy mouth watering masterpieces.
All the versatility of kitchen cooking
without the dirty appliances.
It’s not just the amazing barbecues though. Using Weber Q accessories can transform your Weber Q into a brilliant convection oven. Now your Weber Q can cook roasts with that
famous Weber avour; chicken, beef, lamb, pork and sh. And
the Q can cook perfect pizzas, stir fries, vegetables, vegetarian
meals and breakfasts. Cakes, mufns and pudding cook just
like in the oven. In fact, the Q is so versatile it’s like having all your kitchen cooking appliances rolled into one, cooking just outside the back door, helping to keep the kitchen clean, tidy and free of heat and smells. Imagine never having to clean the oven again!
The cast iron cooking grill features a protective roof section directly above the Q shaped gas burner(s). As a result, you can
enjoy fat free cooking without those uncontrollable are ups.
The slots between the grill bars allow ‘natural convection’ so that air circulates around the meat, yet the roof section
prevents fats and juices from falling onto the gas ame. You
superheat the cast iron grill so you can brand the ‘perfect
steak’, yet instead of aring up, the fat falls harmlessly away from the food and nds its way into a small disposable tray
below (this feature is really quite amazing and that is why our
company decided to patent it). To work its avour magic, the Q
takes advantage of the conducted heat transfer from the heavy gauge cast iron cooking grill.
How does it work?
The Q cooking system has evolved from
the legendary Weber kettle.
Just about all Australians know that our Weber
kettle pro duces those famo us roas ts; roasts with that fabulous avour you jus t can’t get any other way. But not many people know how this avour is created. It
comes from the smoke that’s circulated around the roast while it is being cooked. This is a unique Weber kettle trait and it’s what made the Weber kettle a world famous icon. So it comes as no surprise that Weber’s research and development team set about
trying to reproduce this avour when developing
the Weber Q cooking system. That’s why the Weber Q (even when grilling a steak or a snag) is operated with the lid down. Just like our Weber kettle, all the barbecue smoke is circulated around the food inside,
imparting that fabulous avour to your favourite meals. So the ‘super barbecue’ avour is created by
both branding the meat on hot iron and the natural convection that circulates barbecue smoke all around the meat. It’s this avour that is the hallmark of the fabulous Weber Q cooking system. We were thrilled to get the above note from Mr Peter Rea. We think it says it all.
Q’s no-mess cooking system.
Look at anybody’s barbecue area and you’ll usually nd fat stains
where fat has been spitting from the barbecue to the patio or paving below. Because our Q cooks with its lid closed, barbecue spatter and stains just don’t happen.
CHOICE reveals the truth about barbecues.
CHOICE is the people’s watchdog. That’s why you should check out the revealing barbecues report in their magazine. The great thing about CHOICE is that they are not a retailer, a manufacturer or an importer of barbecues. They are not trying to sell you a product they’ve got a vested interest in. In fact, exactly the opposite is true. CHOICE was founded in 1959 and their mission is to give consumers the best independent, transparent and unbiased advice possible. And boy, have they done a great job in this report. Their most recent barbecues review took an in depth look at a very big selection of barbecues, including the popular Weber Qs. People love their Weber Q and it’s not surprising really. It’s because the Q’s cooking system creates delicious food that other barbecues just can’t match. No need to dirty your kitchen oven either, the Q’s are superb convection ovens in their own right. If you are serious about investing
in a barbecue you should denitely get a copy of the CHOICE report
(www.choice.com.au). It will really open your eyes.
Every year for the last 13 years, Reader’s Digest has commissioned a piece of research that asks Australians which brands
they trust the most. What did they nd out when they asked which brands of barbecue Australians trust? They discovered
that Australians trust Weber. Here’s what Reader’s Digest had to say about Weber. “Weber BBQs are an Australian icon. Outdoor cooking with Weber is the cornerstone of a real Australian meal spent with family and friends. Weber has earnt the trust of their customers in many ways. Not to mention the outstanding cooking results Weber products are able to achieve. Australians trust Weber.”

Weber Q pays for itself over and over again.
It’s often said “a fool and his money are soon parted” and when it comes
to barbecues it’s denitely true. If saving money matters to you, you
would have to be crazy to use an old fashioned barbecue that cooks with the lid up more than absolutely necessar y. Cooking over an open
ame is like using the air conditioning on a 40
0
C day and leaving the
roof wide open.
And the gures prove it. Vince Monsigneur, the CEO of Gastrain Ltd, (his company trains BHP Billiton and AGL gas employees), points out that
running a typical four burner barbecue (72MJ) three times a week for
ve years will cost you about $1,750 in gas. Weber’s ultra efcient lid
down cooking system is an absolute winner. Running a baby Q just as
often will cost you only $210, a mid-sized Weber Q will cost $300 and a Family Q $530. So using a Weber Q will save you anywhere from $1,200 to $1,500 in gas alone. Makes a cheap four burner barbecue look very
expensive, doesn’t it? These days so many people save money by using a Q nearly all of the
time (even a baby Q feeds four or ve easily). It’s not just the money th ou gh; onc e people exp er ie nce the avou r of Weber’s lid do wn cooking
they just can’t accept cooking the old way again.
Warrant y.
Quality is at the very hear t of our company’s culture. Our Weber Qs are made from only the highest grade materials, chosen to weather the elements and to stand the test of time. Outside they’re a combination of cast aluminium and thermoset resin. This means they don’t rust and you can leave them outdoors all year round. Inside there’s a rust resistant cast iron grill and all stainless steel burner(s). It’s this quality of materials and workmanship that means our warranty is not even an issue.
* An ordinary 4 burner barbecue (up to 72,00 0 BTUs output) for example, uses over 6 times more gas and costs around $2.27 per meal to run. The Weber Q (12,000 BTUs output) cost is around 40c a meal. We’ve assumed that all burners are used on HIGH for 30 minutes, enough to cover both preheat and cooking time and that the swap over cost of a 9kg gas bottle is $30.

Weber Family Q.
The Family Q has proved to be an absolute winner in Australian backyards. Because of the speed of its cooking, it’s easily able to cater for big parties, yet it’s extremely economical. When it comes to roasting, we believe this is the pick of the Qs. We know people love them because we are continually suprised by just how
