2 Year Honest Review of The Weber Traveler Portable Gas Grill! / What Works, What Needs Improvement

Just bought one fr a vaca rental. Looking forward to getting it. Reviews are good. Cant the burner be designed to remove for cleaning? “Problem” solved if so. We refill our own 1 lb tanks. We have the standard Q by Weber. Almost 20 YO. Works perfect.

On sale at Target for $199 right now!

Hi Tom, thanks for the great review. Quick question. Roughly how long does it need to cool down after a cook before it can be popped in the trunk?

Can't we put aluminium foil in the bottom?

Well either you got lucky or I got unlucky . I set up a standard sized 20lb tank to mine (perhaps that’s the problem 🤷‍♂️) and the guy at the store said after I was having problems with it and was going to throw it through their window that you need to barely crack the tank on and feather it pain stakingly slow . Well that did work to raise temperature properly but after 2 years I’m thinking again throw it through their window again. Total piece of shit grill 😂

Did you put any gas tape on the 20 pound gas line.

Why does it look brand new? It even has the stickers on it.

Cant you add a drip pan? I convenient. But doable! ❤

I think this would be a good grill for me living in a condo with a deck. I can store it inside in Winter quite easily. I would not be traveling with mine, but it would be a nice compact design for my space. I also like it as it is not too high for a very short person as I am. I would have liked two burners as I am a person alone and cooking mostly for one person. Does anyone know approximately, how long the small propane tanks will operate this unit?

Well now I know why at least people say the Coleman road trip 285 replaces a Blackstone and it seems like it would also be the better alternative over the Weber too mostly. Does the Coleman roadtrip is smaller has three burners a grease tray underneath the burners so eazy clean up and is cheaper on the pockets can and it can do everything weber travaler can better

This week on the Weber website, they announced a smaller version of this, called the Traveler Compact. It's supposed to have about a 25% smaller width, making it easier to fit in the trunks of smaller cars. When it ships, can you review it?

Hey TOM, quick question do you have any issues with the propane supply line. I’m having issues with the gas flow to my grill. Please let me know.

Thanks for reveiwing tom! Always love your vids. I am shopping for a portable solution for my parents. The cart option appeals to me and the weber quality of this one, even though the price is pretty hefty. I was just about to pull the trigger on one but then you showed me that it only has one burner. Hmm! Would you say this is a huge drawback in cooking considering the rest of the set up seems really high quality?

picked it up at target on clearance for $130 out the door!

I just bought this grill and I find that I can't control the temperature. After starting the grill I put the lid down. No matter what temperature I set it to, it goes up to 450° and stays there until I open the lid. Then the temp goes down until the kids is down for awhile and the temp goes right back up. Nobody mentions this.

Can I line the bottom (under the burners) with foil? (sorry if that's an obvious no-no, I'm new at this!) Thanks!

Managed to get ours for £390 in the Uk. Love it and well thought out and easy to use. I have a gas hose connected so I can use a larger gas bottle. Cleaning is a pain in the arse. If at home I just boil the kettle and pour it over inner bowl and most of the grease goes straight out with a little wiping.

What was the name of the citrus cleaner you use? Great review. Just got the hall pass to get one for a family outing last weekend. Burgers and dogs for 25 people, no problem. Totally agree on the need for an inner diaphragm to make cleaning easier. When you put the grill in the back of your car, it stinks!

$400 bucks, dang it should come with the bigger adapter and cookinh tools 😂

I have a Weber Q 120 and it serves me better for drive in camping, much cheaper and less weight. Back up open the hatch and place it on the picnic table.

I’ve just been looking at one of these, but seems a bit pricey at $499 Cdn, however all bbqs seem to have skyrocketed in price over the last couple of years

I've had a STOK Gridiron Grill for years-Weber borrowed the collapsible design from STOK but the Weber looks to be a better quality...Only concern is these one burners run hot-I've added numerous vent holes and still runs hot

I have 2 of these travelers because of the amazon warranty. They didn't want me to send the defective one back. The 1st one has a bullet sized protrusion that kept getting bigger with every cook. It is an excellent grill but this does not live up to its name. You expect it to be portable like for camping like i used it for. Too big for travel and the packing size and shape is odd . I bought 2 weber go anywhere charcoal and propane. Those little effers are bad ass. 2 of those takes less than half the space of 1 traveler . I do love the traveler but as a stationary grill especially for smaller homes like mine. Its is easy to move around but its definitely not for travel.

Have you seen the new griddle , they should replace that grill on that Q and replace it with griddle

Where did you get that gas adapter hose? I'm thinking of getting a 5lb propane tank for my Traveler. Thank you for the review!

Hi! I noticed the flame of your grill is "yellow" . Isn't it supposed to be blue? Thanks.

How do you keep the bbq that clean?! 😮

Had a Q220. After a couple years the burner would only light about 2/3’s of the way around and the highest the flame would get was around 1/8”. Twice, weber sent me new burners and regulators. Didn’t fix. I even swapped out the hose that I was using for my 20 lb tank. Didn’t work. Ditched it and bought a “portable” Cuisinart grill. I hate it!! Yeah it folds up but it’s very cumbersome trying to load up and the the flare ups are insane. More than in enigma had the entire interior of the grill engulfed in flames. No matter how clean I keep it.
I’ve never had that with any other grill I’ve owned.

Long story short. I stumbled across this grill at Blaine’s Farm and fleet, and it literally checks every box. It’s just the wife and I and it will by our home grill and our camping grill. I’m really hesitant on buying it Simple’s because I see the same burner and I’m afraid I’ll end up with the same issue I did with my last weber.

Still on the fence.

I’m with you Tom. I wish Weber would produce a two burner, portable gas grill!

Great Review Tom....but will you ever do a comparative review between The "Z" Grill 7052b & The Recteq Deluxe Bullseye RT-380X...since they are now so fairly close in Price and I like most of Us don't know which one to buy ?....and your Wisdom and expert comparative Review would be most appreciated by many of Us !!!

Most of you people that hate the stand have never operated an ambulance gurney and it shows

Great grill and awesome cook! Well done Tom! Lol

Weber owes you multiple commission

This vs Weber Q?

I love your knife and Tree! Lol Big daddy style 💥

Doesn't everyone love are couple years of price increases? Lol I could use that grill when it's folded to move some DJ equipment on or beer? A friend? Lol. Its nifty! I need a peak a boo window on my ninja woodfire grill! 💥
