The Weber name needs no introduction, it's the BBQ brand everyone's talking about – and why wouldn't it be? Since the early 1950s, Weber have been taking the BBQ world by storm, with a range that's not only tough as nails and oh so simple to use, but can produce first-class feasts like they're going out of fashion. Whether you're picking up the tongs for the first time or you've got a BBQ for a bestie, adding a new Weber Q to the family is a sure-fire way to keep hunger at bay.
We all know the saying, "if it ain't broke…" well, Weber certainly seem to agree. It's been 8 long years since they've last made changes to their epic Q line-up! But why would they go changing something that's become a backyard icon for countless Aussie families? The answer… You! Weber wanted to create the best possible experience for you. They took everything that was known and loved about the old Weber Q and made it even better. Now, some may say "That's a hard act to follow" but not for the team at Weber. They've worked closely with passionate Weber customers to come up with a BBQ range even more feature filled than its predecessor.
What they wanted:
Giving customers the driver's seat is a different approach, but a simple and effective one at that. Instead of reinventing the wheel (or the BBQ in this instance), they instead took the feedback and used it to create a product that would allow customers to do more with their Weber BBQ and make their cooking experience even better than before. What customers wanted:
- More size to maximise the amount of food that can be cooked
- Greater temperature range to unlock more cooking methods
- Make it easier to control how they cook
- Make it easier to clean and maintain
- Make it easier to move, transport and store
What's new?
As you can see below, Weber still have a few tricks up their sleeve, with a whole host of new accessories coming in hot! From front facing control knobs, tri-directional lid venting, front access grease management, expanded lid volume, and a whole host of other goodies sure to make your BBQing life easier. But, there's one addition we think will get tongues talking like no other. A new model in the already star-studded line-up, they've come to call… The Weber Q+.

The range
Now that we've seen why these new Weber Qs are such an awesome bit of kit, the next thing to do is talk about the range. The Weber Q range in Australia is made up of 2 key ranges: Weber Q and Weber Q+. The plus range comes with a few extra bells and whistles including the new plus burner, which extends the temperature range, to unlock high searing capability, or low and slow cooking temperatures. Don't worry, we understand that it's difficult to choose between these epic barbies, - with each one as cool as the next. Our BCFing experts have done the hard yards here and put together a buyer's guide sure to come in handy. So, take a geez below as we break down each type of Weber BBQ and you can decide for yourself.
