Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Just in time for the cookout season, Weber expands its popular Q liquid propane barbecue line with the Q 300 propane gas grill. This full-size model maintains and often expands upon the tabletop original's conveniences, while benefiting from more permanent patio installation. The liquid propane grill employs two 13,850 BTU burners to heat its 393-square inch cooking area, providing space for several dozen hot dogs or even a medium-sized turkey.
Weber crafted the grill's tall lid and body in tough cast aluminum, framed by a heat- and moisture- resistant nylon frame with glass reinforcement. A simple push-button ignition fires up the stainless-steel burners. Users adjust the burners' output with a control knob and monitor the heat on a built-in thermometer in the lid. Meat cooks evenly on top of the two cooking grates. Constructed in sturdy cast-iron construction and porcelain enameling, the grates resist warping and rusting while cleaning with relative ease. Drip ducts help direct and collect greasy drippings. Two polyethylene side tables attach to create extra preparation space. Spatulas and tongs can be hung from the tool holders on the grill's frame. The provided regulator hose connects the grill to a separately purchased 20-pound propane tank, which stows unobtrusively on a lower shelf. Weber supplies users with hardware to bolt the grill in place and also bestows their Q cookbook. To clean the cooking surface, use mild detergents and avoid steel wool. The grill requires some minor assembly. Weber offers a limited five-year warranty for this item. With the lid closed, the grill measures 44 by 36-1/2 by 22 inches. This product weighs 84-2/3 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling Product Description

Easy assembly, nice design!
Most of what I have read from other reviewers is spot-on. I echo a couple of the installation pointers from below - the two washers are used on the Phillips screws that hold the metal tank support in place. If you miss this, you will have leftover washers and be scratching your head wondering where you missed them. I do notice that their on-line manual now shows the washers in this part of the installation step, so hopefully it won't be an issue for you. And I also initially missed the axel. It was tucked into the bottom of one of the boxes. Overall the assembly was one of the easiest I have ever done. The design was solid and everything lined up perfectly, even when installing the four mount bolts for the grill shell base.

As others have mentioned, I'm a little surprised by the way the plastic "Weber" propane shield installs. I can picture this blowing away in a good breeze. We'll see.

I did pre-check to see what a replacement burner assembly would cost, and it came in at [...]. Why do this? Because I found out the hard way with my two previous grills that it's not the initial cost of the grill that matters, it's how long the burners will last, and what it will cost to replace them. We use our grill a lot, and our current one needed new burners (3 total) after just about a year or so. Cost? [...]. For burners. Small pieces of metal. With holes in them. [...] a piece. So this time I decided to pay for the quality of a Weber with the hope that the burners will last longer, and when I do need to replace them that I won't have to take out a small loan to pay for it.
