Weber has plenty of portable grills to choose from with the Q range, but in my experience, their carts leave a lot to be desired. The Traveler is the first Weber gas grill that I would consider truly portable. The cart is sturdy enough and folds down to fit into the back of most SUVs. Most importantly, the grill can get ripping hot and gave great sear marks when I tested it out on a couple of ribeye steaks.

Weber did a great job designing a decently-sized portable grill that you can take with you to places like the park, a sports tailgate, and the campsite. With 320 square inches of cooking space, this grill is big enough to use as your home grill if you live in a condo and don't have a lot of room, and because it folds down you can easily store it out of the way.
The large, durable wheels make it easy to traverse over obstacles like rock, mud, and grass with little effort.
The heat distribution is mostly good, and the cooking grates feel high quality and lock in for added stability. While some people would like an additional burner for greater control, I would only cook burgers, steaks, and hot dogs on this so I didn't need it. If you want the option to cook low and slow then you should look at a two-burner option though.
If you enjoy doing anything in the great outdoors and have always wanted to bring delicious food to the table (pun intended) then the Weber Traveler is a no-brainer. Whether it’s at the lake, the park, the game or even at home, this is an enjoyable and functional gas grill that anyone can use.

If you want a challenge, try assembling one of these grills czcams.com/users/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . I am a technician by trade and the technical instructions were easy to follow. No reading, just pictures and diagrams. You assemble everything in 5 steps from the bottom up. Step #1 - Assemble 4 Legs and Wheels; Step #2 - Add the Front Cover and Cross Bars to support the frame; Step #3- Assemble the Burner to the Lower Grill Housing and install the knobs; Step #4 - Install the Side Burner and side shelf; and Finally Step #5 - Install the Upper Char- Broil Lid, Cooking Racks, 3 Burner Railings and Lid Handle. That's It and you're done in about 2 hours and 40 minutes. You have the option to pay for assembly after making the purchase - I would strongly suggest that you take it if you don't want to be bothered with this challenge. The only tool I used was a Phillips head screwdriver and a standard pair of pliers. The grill cost a little more because of the side burner, but this is what makes the grill so versatile and popular among backyard grillers. Have fun and enjoy!
Grabbed one of these Travelers and finally got my first cook on this week. So easy to use and clean.
I didn’t even know this existed. Fantastic review, Jeff. It does look like it has some very smart upgrades from the WeberQ and the rolling cart (or the camping table they stopped selling 5 years ago.)
Agree Justin, Weber did some nice upgrades to this grill for sure! Thanks for watching brother!!
Just bought mine and set up. I use it as my regular home grill but like the portable function. This grill is worth every penny.
Great review Ricer. I don't know how I missed this when you put it up. This is really a great grill. Not just for portable but many folks homes. I do wish it was a two burner though so you could do some indirect cooking ( whole chicken for example). But a nice dedicated grill is nice.
Finally got around to using mine. It worked very well. Easy to haul around. Cooked up a nice, big tri-tip for my friends. Everyone was impressed, myself included.
Great video. It covered all the bases from setup to clean up to pack up.
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video!
I have this grill and I love it, it's perfect for my condo deck. Good job Weber

I just bought the blue one and sheee its a thing of beauty. This is my first propane grill. I always used charcoal grills i really didnt care about gas grills but this traveler changed mine. Another thing because i live in a condo my neighbors they finally had it with my smokey charcoal grill 😆
A must have!
I'm getting this great portable grill! Thanks for the video!
Hope you enjoy it!
I bought one at about $325. No regrets at all. This thing is the best. I have purchased non portable grills and they don't compare to this. Best part about Weber products is the parts are available at your local Home Depot. Best purchase in a while. I got mine cheap, but even at $500 it is a bargain. It just offered so much for the price.
That is one gas grill I would buy! Love the small footprint and extremely portable, and most of all it’s ease of storage! That can go into any closet! Great review!
Heck ya Rus!!! I agree this is one gasser that I would certainly keep in my line up!!! So many times when we go to the boy's games I always say I wish I had a portable grill so I don't have to eat the crappy cheap ball park food!!! hahaha Thanks for coming over and checking out the video bro!!
Awesome grill. Wish Weber made a side table you could clip on to the other side for two side tables in total.
Thank you for sharing this thinking about buying one 😊
Nice little portable! We are posting a review on the new Weber Q+ soon too!!! I actually like the new Q+ a tad more!! Thanks for watching!
Awesome review. Looks like a great travel grill. Love the way it collapses down
Agree, I had no clue what it would do when I pulled the handle and that is why I laughed a little (nervous laughter)!!! ha ha Thanks for watching!
We were thrilled to find this grill, we moved to a condo and a smaller garage so we’re not able to keep our standard sized grill. The fact that it folds up and even stands against the garage wall is perfect. The grill itself is wonderful!
I’m not joking when I say this, you honestly do some of the best barbecue/cooker reviews on CZcams. That is a really cool little Gasser… I wouldn’t mind grabbing one of these for desert trips. Thanks for the review Jeff.
Heck ya Greg!! This pit certainly is easy to haul around!! Weber did a great job on this one! I appreciate you watching brother!! Ps... I need to make one of those dessert trips with you someday!! Maybe we can drag Justin out in the sun too!!!! hahaha
Very cool Jeff, nice overview
Thanks JC! Appreciate you coming over and checking out the video brother!
I am very careful when making a decision. I have looked at grills in stores and friends houses for years and was always surprised of the poor quality and wobbly feel of the grills. I have seen this Weber portable grill a few weeks ago at Lowes and had an eureka moment. FINALLY! something sturdy and portable, and no need for big gas tank! Your video made me make my final decision. Going to Lowes right now to buy it!
They should make a solid griddle insert for this. Be great for breakfast.
REALLY wish you would compare this to the 2 burner portable Napoleon grills. Both have scissor stands built in with wheels. But the Napoleon has both the TravelQ and the TravelQ Pro models. I've read that many prefer those because they have bigger lids so you can put whole chickens on the grill, but you can't with the Weber. Also the 2 burners let you actually have 1 burner on and put your wood chips and water and your meat on the other side and it'll smoke them over many hours. So you get a type of smoker with the grill which you can't really do on this one. LOVE all the details.
Just found one at Hawaii Walmart for $154 clearance price. Knew I can't go wrong with a Weber. Nice video, Ricer!
Awesome deal and thanks for watching!!!
Funny and very informative. Good job
Very cool Ricer! Those sear marks were killer. Wonder around how long those propane tanks will run for...
Thanks for checking out the video Andrew!! Well I ran it at least an hour plus on high and still had some remaining! I can check that out when I do a comparison video on this pit!! Have a great weekend brother!
What kind of tanks can you use
Nice
Hey please what type of propane do I need to buy for this
Well i just got this barbeque, i connect the propane small tank, but the flame is very lazy, only small blue flame, it cant raise over 200 degrees Celsius at full speed
Would be interesting to see how much cook time per coleman canister...great review!
Thanks for watching Judge! Well I still had gas left in it after running it for at least 45 minutes set at high! But that is a great idea on a test!!!
We bought the adapter and use a normal 20# tank for that reason, wasn’t sure how long small canister would work. I’d take extras if using for camping.
Hello
Anybody can tell why my grill is not working with propane?
Thank you
Nice Job Ricer nice looking grill my portable is about 30 years old now I wish it had wheels dang it Ricer
Wow Lance you certainly got the mileage out of yours!! Ya those wheels are awesome! Thanks for coming over and checking this out brother!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ all ways my friend
which gas cylinder is best for this?
What kind of gloves is that? IS it reusable?
I have been trying to choose between that and the Q2200 like I had before and loved. What ultimatly made my choise easy, is I got ADHD and have several times forgot to unfold the side tables on the Q2200 😂 thankfully didn’t melt them but I have been lucky. So Traveller it will be lol 😂
And btw I had the Q2200 on a foldable cart and this one is MUCH better and the wheels are double the ones on the Q cart
Yeah the wheels are definitely better on the Traveler. Ithink the Q2200 is better if you have a small deck or patio and don't plan on moving it around as often. Cheers!
Easy to clean
Can you stand it up and wheel it around with the grates in??
If I remember correctly, the grates lock in place too. Thanks for watching!!
How would it fold back down when you take it to the beach? Or is better for it to be on hard floor ?
I think you'd be ok
Can't help but notice the location of the steak moved from right side to left when you opened the lid to do the first flip 🤔
As u saw later he turned stk twice on each side to get cross scoring on each side. Showed u on second side how her turned twice. Thought same till I saw him do second side. Watch again. He just shortened video but 2nd side showed how got pattern
I had to pay for mine. Wth Weber. Lol. Nice review.. I love mine stats in my truck.
Keep posting those videos Scotty and maybe Weber will send ya one someday?!?!?! Oh ya would work great to just keep in the truck at all times! Thanks for checking out the video bro!!
I don't have one yet. I found one locally, quite by accident and I've been researching it since. I already have a huge stainless grill, but just don't need something that large anymore. I also like the idea of interchangeable grates. I could put on the griddle and have pancakes on Saturday morning, then reinstall the grate and burgers or steaks that afternoon.
A weak point of this Traveler is that the Red plastic Latch in front breaks Easley, but the weber is replacing them with same if you call. It should have been fabricated as an aluminum latch.
I just found out that at this time there is no griddle available by Webber for this Traveler.
It cooks than he WeberQ . Very controllable thou.
There is a third party griddle on amazon
I like the grill but I don’t work when it’s cold!!
Well done on doing the review. Had picked one up after doing some research. Best feature is the folding and easy portability. After that, mostly downhill. No versatility. No attachments like a half griddle or full griddle, which is crazy. Also one burner so no way to do indirect cooking plus takes a long time to heat up. Installing the gas bottle is awkward and cumbersome. Noticed you didn't show the part about putting the bottle on. Have sold it and moved on. The older weber grill had two burners and versatile attachments. What were they thinking??
They do have a half griddle, my traveler heats up super fast. Super portable, I've had mine for about 6 months and grill once a week.
Somebody buy this man some grill tongs before his fingers melt. lol
Thanks for the video. I’m a step closer to purchase.
meh, I have been cooking on a pit for 35 years now. Grab it and get it done.
Would have been better if it was 2 burner, seems a little basic for the cash
Doesn't the grease leak out of the catch pan when you stand it up?
You have to empty it and wipe it down obviously
Empty as shown and clean and allow to cool they say before packing up. In their own webber demonstration video. I watched it before this one.
I bet it taste like propane 😂
This thing is a trash ! The lid lock is very weak and designed very poorly ! It closes the lid but when you drag it around or stand it up vertically . The lid pops opens and everything including the grates falls and creates a big mess! I had to return this after just few days of buying it !
Gas waste, needs independent burmers....uneven cook temp and way to expensive....in my opinion
I Would agree maybe 2 separate burner grill and an optional inter changeable griddle wold
