The great thing about this grill is it puts out a lot of heat and is fairly large as portable grills go. However the plastic side tables are rather flimsy and I don’t plan on using them. Overall I am happy with the purchase and would recommend it as a very capable portable grill.
I have a deep appreciation for my Weber Q 2800N grill. It’s incredibly convenient and user-friendly, featuring a sturdy construction that looks fantastic. It's perfect for grilling for larger gatherings. The main drawback is the cleanup, as both the grill and interior require considerable effort to maintain. Nevertheless, my fondness for the Weber grill remains strong.
Love weber grills! I have 6 of them at different locations. Both gas and charcoal.Kettle grills are awesome. Only thing about 2800N is the side trays do fold up into grill like old Q grills. You have to detach and lay side trays inside grill when not in use.
As a new owner of the Weber Q2800N+, I can confidently say that this grill addresses the few issues I had with the traditional Q models while retaining most of their advantages. One of the standout improvements is the addition of a second burner. This feature allows the grill to reach very high temperatures, even in cooler weather, which was a challenge with the smaller Q models.
The secondary burner also provides the flexibility to cook at lower temperatures, in the 225-250 degree range, making it suitable for low and slow cooking. However, it's important to note that the secondary burner is positioned directly in the center of the grill without any shielding, which can create a hot spot that might cause burning if not monitored closely.
Another change is the design of the side tables. Unlike the legacy units where the tables were on a hinge and could fold in and out, the Q2800N+ requires the tables to be snapped into place and removed for transport. This is less convenient compared to the folding tables of the older models.
Overall, despite these minor issues, I have been very happy with the Weber Q2800N+. It offers great performance and versatility, making it a valuable addition to my outdoor cooking setup.
