The Bottom Line
The Weber Q2200 is much more than a flimsy portable grill. Its solid construction and quality craftsmanship makes it an excellent choice for grilling on the go. It has a relatively large cooking area to grill for multiple people.
The quality materials make the grill one of the heavier portable grills weighing about 42 pounds. This may not make it as portable as similar grills. Lugging the grill and all your camping supplies during a hike through the wilderness may not be the most comfortable option. It does, however, work well for porches, balconies, and the back of pickup trucks during your favorite tailgates.
If you want a portable grill with USA made Weber quality, the Q2200 is an excellent option.
