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.

Love this grill. Use it with camper. Compact and sturdy. Has not rusted at all in over a year!

So far, so good. Everything worked and it was an easy set-up. Attractive.

Hard to know where to start here. So much positive to say.Assembly was really easy. My six year old and I pulled this from the box and he got a kick out of putting the wheels on. That was it.The grill stands up very easily and folds back easily. Wheeling it around even on packed gravel isn’t bad. My father and I noted that though it has a single burner, the burner goes all the way around the grill to provide even coverage. I’m impressed.I bought this to put into my RV. As such, I wanted one that I could run off my quick disconnect. The grill is designed to run off of the 1lb bottles which doesn’t work for me. Never having seen a warranty I couldn’t void, I simply removed the regulator and installed a quick disconnect on its place. You’ll need to order a 1/8 npt to 1/4 npt and a 1/4 npt quick disconnect. I’ve included before and after pics.I bought this grill because I found some significant quality shortcomings of my blackstone grill. Having open grates is lovely for grilling most things but for pancakes and eggs, I wanted a solid surface. I really wish Weber had something like this but alas: amazon to the rescue. The cooktop pictured in this review was not included but a worthwhile upgrade.This is my first Weber and I totally get why they are number one. As an owner of four grills, I’m not sure why I waited this long.

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.
