Statistics from Statistic 2017 show that 76% of U.S. households own at least one barbecue, 58% use barbecues year-round, and buy or replace a portable grill every 2.4 years on average. The strong demand has made the North American market the largest barbecue market in the world, and has given birth to many world-famous barbecue brands, Weber is the most prominent representative of them.
 
Founded in 1952, Weber is the world's No. 1 brand of barbecue grills, with a 40% market share in the North American market in 2017, and is now almost synonymous with barbecue grills. In the U.S., almost everyone recommends Weber when it comes to barbecue grills, and Weber is the brand of choice for 31% of consumers.
 
Household gas grills and electric grills are difficult to use outdoors due to size and fuel limitations, so more compact portable grills have emerged, mainly including gas grills and charcoal grills. Compared with traditional ovens, portable ovens are generally inferior to traditional ovens in terms of weight reduction and portability, and the heat output is generally inferior to that of traditional ovens, while the experience of Weber portable ovens can be close to that of traditional ovens.
 
Weber's Q series is an outstanding representative of portable gas ovens, with excellent performance and reasonable design, it occupies 5 of the 16 products on the list of portable gas ovens in Consumer Reports, and all indicators are ranked high, among which Q1200 and Q2200 are the best.
 
Both the Q1200 and Q2200 are fueled by canned propane and are made of stainless steel, which is more durable and retaining than aluminum and cast iron products, but slightly less uniform. The ignition button is an electronic button, equipped with an infinite control burner valve to adjust the flame, with a built-in thermometer on the top for precise temperature control during the grilling process, and the ring burner design allows the entire grill surface to be evenly heated, especially suitable for consumers who need to grill, and is equipped with two folding side tables that can be stowed away when not in use.
 
The difference between the Q1200 and the Q2200 is in the output power and grilling area. The Q2200 is the flagship of Weber's portable oven, with a power of 12,000 BTU and a cooking area of up to 280 square inches (1,806cm2), which can be used by 6 people, but it weighs 18 kilograms, is not portable, and costs 4400 yuan. Q1200 is the main cost performance, 8500 BTU heat output and 189 square inches (1219cm2) barbecue area is decent, but Outdoorgearlab measurements show that its outdoor use effect is better than some ovens above 10000BTU, with a weight of 14 kg, which is relatively more portable, and the price of 3000 yuan is also more acceptable.
 
Although gas grills are more portable and easy to use, because propane burns in a smokeless environment and burns at a lower temperature than charcoal, charcoal grills like Jumbo Joe are undoubtedly a better choice for consumers who need to smoke and grill high-calories.
 
Jumbo Joe is the No. 1 portable charcoal grill in The Wire Cutter's review, inheriting the excellent cooking performance of kettle grills, but also with the portability that the latter does not have, the evaluation results show that Jumbo Joe has two adjustable vents, so that the charcoal can be fully burned to release enough heat, and the 1551cm2 barbecue area can meet the needs of 4 people at the same time. In terms of portability, the rotatable metal arm holds the grill together for transport and acts as a lid holder while grilling. The tripod base and ash tray also make cleaning easier.
 
It is worth mentioning that Weber is currently the only international brand of barbecue grills to enter the Chinese market, eliminating the trouble of purchasing on behalf of others, but its price is nearly 3 times that of foreign markets.
