Weber Q1200 Gas Grill
Now that you know you want to get one of these grills for your dad, just what one is the best? They are all similar but they each have different qualities about them that will ultimately be what you have to look at. If your dad likes a portable grill, then this is a great choice that you can customize with his favorite color, or perhaps his favorite sports teams’ color. The Weber Q1200 is the way to go then. This particularly cool little grill comes in eight different colors including titanium and green. The Q1200 uses a small liquid propane tank that comes sold separately.
There is one burner with a 189 square inch cooking space that is under porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates. The body of this very handy grill is made of cast aluminum. It comes fully assembled out of the box, so dad doesn’t even need to put it together when he opens his gift. With its small size, it can fit on any table top or garage floor and can basically be used year round. If he loves to go to games and watch his team live, he can take his matching portable grill and show off to the other entire population of dad’s at the tailgating parties.
A great place to buy is Amazon and here is why:
- All the reviews are like having hundreds of really good friends give you their personal experience with the grill, then taking all of that personal experience and giving it a star rating. You’re buying quality when there are hundreds of fans of the grill.
- A friendly UPS driver will deliver it right to your door. No waiting in line, no hauling it in your car. No sore muscles or achy back the next day.
- Amazon has the best price 99% of the time. Amazon constantly watches competitor pricing and makes sure you get the best deal. They do a ton of business and take advantage of economies of scale, which means you get the savings!
- FREE shipping. Enough said.
- Returns are easy. Amazon recently shipped a car, and they ship a ton of large items, all day, every day. If they can ship a car, rest assured, you will get your grill in perfect condition. BUT if for any reason it comes damaged, it is super easy to return. Just print out a UPS label, slap it on the box and a friendly UPS driver will pick it up, free of charge. This is way easier than waiting in a return line at Home Depot and talking with a bored, angsty teenage sales clerk.

Weber Q 3200 Gas Grills
If you want to get dad something a little less flashy and portable and a little more stable, do not worry, the Weber Q series has just what you want. Instead of a small portable grill, get him the Q3200. This liquid propane grill has the same rounded lid as the other Q series models, but this one comes on a stand. With two burners and almost 400 square inches of cooking space, it is twice the size of the Q1200 and perfect for dad’s backyard. It is even equipped with a handle light that you can use if you are cooking in foggy or darker conditions.
This is handy for dad if he wants to cook a steak in the middle of the night. The Q3200 also comes with and electronic ignition and side tables that can fold down to conserve space. While it may not be portable, this grill makes a statement when sitting on the deck or porch of your dad’s house. One difference between this grill and the Q1200 is that this beautiful grill only comes in one color as opposed to eight different ones, but something tells me that dad will not mind either way.
Product Details for the Grill Geeks:
- Two stainless steel burners produces 21,700 BTU-per-hour to heat 393 square-inch total cooking area
- Porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates and cast aluminum lid and body
- Grill-Out handle light
- Easy-start electronic ignition and infinite control burner valve settings
- Operates on a 20 lb. LP tank (sold separately)
Weber Q2200 Gas Grills
Another great portable grill for dad that is a little bigger than the Q1200 is the Q2200. This grill comes in one color, so you have no choices to customize this one. But, unlike the Q1200, this grill comes with almost 300 square inches of cooking space, making it a little more useful for a party.
This little grill also comes with side tables attached that can fold down so it will save space while being stored. The Q220 has the same aluminum body as the other two and also comes with an electric ignition. It also uses a propane tank that is sold separately, but that is no trouble to find. He can put this one in the garage to use during the winter, or if he is a big camper or fisher, he can take it out with him on his next trip to help cook all of his food at the end of the day. All of his buddies will be jealous that they don’t have a portable high quality grill.
Product Details for the Grill Geeks:

I am a grill freak! It's hard to pick my favorite thing to grill, but if I had to choose... it is still a tie between pork ribs and a juicy beef burger. I am currently grilling on a Weber S210(I live in a small space) but my dream grill is definitely a summit. Those things are bad ass. Anyways I would love to hear from you, leave a comment or question below!
