Weber BBQ deals

So… loaded up the smoker box with some maple chips I got from the local garden centre, and have to say, makes the food definitely a lot more barbecue flavoured

Took a good 25 mins before the chips started to smoulder to be fair, but didn't bother me, once they were smouldering nicely I closed the lid and used indirect heating

Cooked some seasoned chicken thighs, and homemade burgers and I'm glad to report, a great result the chicken especially was flavoured with a nice smokey flavour, you could most definitely get the hickory taste, reminded me in hickory smoked bacon (unsurprisingly lol)

Oh and I'm using gas btw (the Weber in the OP) which has proven to be a very, very worthwhile bargain!

All BBQs use the grey "patio gas" canisters now, you'll get them in most hardware shops, lots of petrol stations. The orange ones that you use for a SuperSer don't fit the connectors.

Fair play- I tried using chips without the box a few years ago and all the smoke just drifted out and not onto the food - might go back and try again once this new BBQ is up and running

Maybe try apple wood. Hickory is quite strong for chicken imo. Same for mesquite and oak.

Keep something like this on your phone or wherever

So far so good, fingers crossed.

One last one for you to try there is a chap who works for Weber you can find him on the BBQ Ireland facebook page .

I have the Q2200 bought last year for a €100 when that cashback offer was on. Hard to leave behind for that price but not sure I would splash the full amount for it.

Great little unit easily cook for a family of 4/5 on it.

B&Q & Woodies usually have good sales September time might get more value then.

I spoke too soon fired this up last night for a 30 min cook and the misfire was back again in Burner 1 again.

Emailed to Weber to see what is the next step will take a few days to get a response; will update once I get a response.

Looking at the attached looks like they give the manifold out with all three control valves pre-assembled.

I started by the website as opposed to a direct email from Weber.

When you register your grill on the Weber website click on the grill icon and then select "File a Warranty Claim" this then send the query they get back to you by email.

The email they get back to you with is kind of weird includes your reference number of the ticket you have raised if that makes sense

No response at all .

Did a cook at weekend - it was “ok”- key concern is burner1 going out on low heat - I think friend might just move on and live with it - the other two burners “behaved themselves and when all 3 on full there’s no issues as such

so if they do send out the metal gas taps or whatever they’re called- is that a screw off screw on job?

so I have the same heat set on all three burners. But not cooking as fast over burner 1. Anything I should be looking out for to confirm if the same issue as other people have been having?

any offers or suggestions on a good griddle that could be used on a weber 57cm and possibly an induction hob as well?

Yes I got the same offer - dusk is best time to do that -I assume burner 1 going out constantly and reigniting by burner 2 - and a whole lot of “spitting” going on if all 3 burners on at once ?

The above issue sorted for me with burner replacement but I’ll never be happy with burner one on low -(minimum) - it just goes out- saying that I use charcoal most of the time so this BBQ will just be back up or when I want to grill something quickly without having to set up the fire

I have a selection of Weber cast iron griddle pans and hot plates - o - I find them fine but I don’t use them much - they’re great for things like doing a big batch of onions to get them seriously reduced down for say French onion soup or where you don’t want the smell indoors - and doing prawns in garlic oil or roasting veg pieces - but after that my imagination hasn’t really gone any further so I wouldn’t buy them all again unless I had a clear purpose for them and know I’ll use them regularly .

Steaks for example just go right on the cast iron grill of the BBQ itself
