Weber The Traveler Portable Gas Grill, Blue

This is a high quality grill, but then IT IS a Weber! I highly recommend this grill. It has a large cooking surface, 26”x14”. It will probably replace my 25 year old Weber grill if it ever bites the dust. I purchased this for on the go barbecuing. It is very stable when opened and the grill grates sit 32” above the ground making for a comfortable cooking height. It is quite attractive and extremely well constructed. The grill grates (2 pieces) are heavy duty porcelain coated cast iron grates. The barbecue opens very easily and closes even easier! There is a small cylinder on the back of the grill that makes closing a breeze. The side tray is most functional and there is also a place to hang three cooking utensils on the front of the grill. Despite having only one zone heat control knob, the grill cooks extremely well and evenly and I attribute this to the high quality grates. The only negative comment I have is a minor one. Installing the small 1lb propane canister can be frustrating. I have learned to basically get on my knees to visually align the canister to screw it on. You don’t want to force it and cross thread the canister. But the installed canister also is a safety item because the grill cannot be closed with the canister installed. A hose can be purchased either from Weber or from aftermarket sources to connect the barbecue to a full sized 20lb propane tank that is used on regular barbecues. At a recent family barbecue I cooked for about 2-1/2 hours on medium high heat and only used 3/4 of the 1 lb canister. So it is fuel efficient. I also purchased an aftermarket cover which just covers the top. The Weber cover really wraps the entire grill and I felt it was a bit cumbersome. To each his own! The grill lights right up with one press of the button….always. The large wheels makes for easy moving of the grill. There are numerous accessories that are sold through Weber or from aftermarket sources such as a griddle that can be used on one side of the grill while leaving the grate on the other side. I suggest looking at the numerous reviews on YouTube. All in all, I highly recommend this barbecue. It’s really cool and it works fantastically well.

I am liking this pretty well after a few cooks. I like that the grates are sized so it is easy to cleanup at the sink, with them removed cleaning inside of the grill was also easy so there are no drips after folding it up. It was easy to move food between hot zones on it. I also gave a griddle for one side that heated up to sear foods. With it folding up it stores out of the way, pretty useful since I have a large pellet smoker already taking up deck space. We will also be taking this with us in our camper.

Our tabletop portable propane grill made it a few seasons and gas regulator failed (no spare parts available!) affording the opportunity for an upgrade. Read many reviews on camper friendly gas grills. The fold up system of the Web Traveler and great reviews on ease of use and quality construction gets you over the price tag. Did not disappoint. Some assembly was required, but it was minimal, 10 minutes at most. The build quality is great with nothing lacking on the components. The only negative I've found is that is difficult to align the 1 lb cylinders into the bottom connection. I've started using a 1 lb to 20 lb hose to make that easier. Still need to be careful when folding the grill so that the hose is not obstructing anything on the fold up system, but it can stay attached when folded. Heat up time are quick with the smaller dome lid. I've cooked for groups of 6-8 with the Traveler, plenty of grill space. The grill grates are well made and clean up well. I bought an aftermarket griddle (half coverage) and have been pleased with that as an option. The hinged lid doesn't close all the way with the griddle plate however, so you can't put in a folded close position with the griddle in place. Glad I made the choice to upgrade.

Bought this grill for the portability around my townhouse, including storage if needed. It's a supplement to my kitchen, as I only use this grill to cook food where I don't want it to get too smoky inside. I have it hooked up to a 20 lb propane tank with an adapter hose. Pros: - Heats up very quickly - 500 degrees in under 10-15 minutes. Fastest heat-up time in a grill I've seen. This is THE BEST feature. Relatively even heat throughout, though there are different spots. You need to learn your grill (as with any other tool) and where the hotspots are. An IR thermometer is helpful here. Some other reviewers have complained about the lack of more temperature controls, but I think this is unnecessary in a portable grill, and simplicity is usually better. A ripping hot grill is usually the best way to go. Did I mention this thing gets hot very quickly? - Large cooking area for a portable. I use a 12 x 15 inch pizza stone in this to make great pizzas. - Easy to clean, especially the enameled grates. Nothing really sticks to them. The 2-part grate halves make it easy to take inside and clean with soap and a scouring pad. 2nd best feature. Cons: - Low-profile, but this only hampers grilling something like a whole chicken (you should learn about spatchcocking). The low profile helps this grill heat up very quickly, so I actually like this. -Vents are in the back. If it's really windy and the wind is blowing into the vents, you'll have hard time maintaining temperature or possibly even the flame. Solution is just to be mindful of this and reorient your grill vents away from the wind.

Vraiment bien fait

Llegó antes de tiempo y en buenas condiciones. Nos barato pero lo vale por Eel material que es de muy buena calidad y trae todas la piezas completas. Solamente me hubiera gustado que trajera un tanquecito de muestra. Hace falta los aditamentos para conectar tanque de gas LP, como manguera y conector para tanque de gas de México. Todavía no lo pruebo pero me parece que funcionará muy bien.

Nice and lightweight to carry around

Très bien

Lo usamos en nuestra casa de fin de semana, por lo que era importante que no constituyera un estorbo cuando no se usa y que se pudiera guardar cuando no estamos, ambas condiciones perfectamente cumplidas. Perfecto para servir hasta 6 porciones de carne a la vez, asi que si tu familia no es muy grande es increible. Importante dejarlo prendido al menos 20 minutos desde que lo enciendes para lograr las marcas de parrilla en la carne. El único downside que le veo es que una vez que sirves, le cuesta un poco de trabajo calentar de nuevo al máximo, pero era evidente al ser pequeña la campana y además portátil. Lo mejor de todo es que lo compramos en Amazon con un 40% de descuento lo cuál lo convierte en una de las mejores compras del año.
