i switched to a 20lb tank but had to adjust the screw on the heat setting dial. tear back the middle decal and there is an adjusting screw. otherwise the big tank has too much pressure and the burner doesn't function properly.

you can cook aprox. 1,5 h - 2.0 h on high heat with the 14oz portable propane canister. yes, you can connect it to a bigger LP tank, 5lb or more including 20 lb tank. all you need is an adapter hose like "Weber 6501 6' Adapter Hose For Weber Q Series & Gas Go-Anywhere" - Weber 6501 Adapter Hose for Weber Q-Series and Gas Go-Anywhere Grills, 6-Feet - or something similar. happy grilling!

I purchased my propane frig this past year and used it for 3 four day weekends and a two week camping trip and have not yet run out the 25lb tank figure a total of three weeks+. I have been told that it would last a little over a month of camping with the 25lb tank. I would guess you would get about six to eight weeks roughly with a 35lb tank. Please note the unit runs coldest when it is on propane, there is no temperature setting for propane, so if you put vegies in it they will freeze over a few days. Lastly if the unit is "not level" then it will run less efficiently. Hope this helps.

I have the exact same question! On the Weber web site this is not categorized as a portable model, yet its called 'portable' here on amazon, and I was trying to figure out if there is really anything portable about it. Frankly from what I can tell it is not.

I understand that is new but I am still of the opinion that either the burner holes are clogged by some debris or the propane gas valve is not fully opened so not enough pressure reaches the rear side of the burner - you have only one ignition system and that means that either it ignites or it does not, and in your case, it does, so to me it looks like the fuel doesn't make it all the way - I'm not an engineer but have been struggling with this very pretty grill for years; I buy and change the burner every year ($49)! ... I also have a full size propane can and purchased a full size hose adaptor and connector (approx. $14)... Good luck!

Very good grill. It should get to 450 in about 5 minutes with the lid closed. A few things to check:1) are you using small 1lb bottles or large tank? If large tank, make sure you turn the valve on very slowly. 2) Check the burner flame, you might have spiders in the burner that need to be brushed out with a burner brush like this http://www.firecraft.com/product/brushtech-gas-bbq-burner-tube-cleaner/grill-brushes-cleaning3) If need be you can replace the burner or regulator.

Not sure how many BTU's it has but I assure you it gets really hot if you turn the gas all the way on. We use a regular propane tank with ours but it works well with the small Coleman type tanks too. We grill steaks or anything else we want with no problem and everything we cook has an excellent grilled flavor.

The Grill only weighs about 30 ish pounds, not bad at all. If you are using a small tank it can screw directly into the grill. This is a good unit. I personally have used both the small tank and larger 20 ppond tank. The small er one is handy for tailgating somewhere, then I use the larger for camping when the grill is set up and in place for a few days. Hope this helps you out, Tim

My Jayco TT has the same quick disconnect hook-up that you described above. Unfortunately, the research I've done has revealed that this is a low-flow hook up and won't work with the Weber Baby-Q which is a high-flow unit. Some forums that I have read discuss a work around for this problem but they all seemed very complicated and somewhat costly. I purchased the hose adapter to be able to screw directly to the tanks at the front of the trailer but have also found it much easier to just use the small LP tanks so I can grill anywhere I want... including under my awning. Though this stove will most likely not work with the quick disconnect on your RV/TT, I feel you will find that this BBQ unit is far superior than the ones made for RV's and TT's. You will not be disappointed with this purchase!!

Haven't used it since last football season and I usually cook steaks, but I would guess about 6-8 burgers would be about right (If you make your own, more if they are store bought). Depending on how you laid them out on the burners, only half the burner has the "grates" so the grease wouldn't drip off as easily, but it's never really been a problem for me. The "solid" part of the grate has come in helpful though when cooking other things as it works like a mini griddle. But you can try to find close up pictures of the grates to see what I'm talking about. Hope that long winded answer helped.

You can use a larger tank with the correct adaptor. I used mine for the first time on a camping trip and cooked 6 breasts at one time for 5 people and. I enjoyed cooking on it the only thing I would suggest is to put foil under the burner for easier cleanup. Its a great grill.

The smaller tank has less volume of gas, propane is liquid that "boils" to a gas that is the actual fuel. In colder weather smaller tanks have a hard time keeping up with high output. Even a 20 lb. tank won't run burner well if it is really cold. Summer or with a hot work light pointed right at the tank then no reason not to use the smaller tank.

Thanks for the reply Sam. It looks as though we're going to pick a larger grill anyway...one that has three burners..the drawback is that we'll have to wheel it in and out of the space and then it will take up more room...however, the plus is that we can do indirect cooking on it and that's a big plus! It appears that the Weber Spirit is small enough and can be fitted with natural gas orifices.

I have the grill .. Used it 1 time ... Took forever to even cook a hot dog .. It doesn't get hot enough to sear much of anything....

If your grill works with the standard 20# propane tanks you can buy at Lowes or Home Depot (or numerous other places), then it will work with this tank also. If your grill does *not* work with the standard 20# tanks currently for sale, then it also won't work with this tank.Basically, this is just like those standard tanks, only smaller (and therefore holding less propane). The connections are the same. Compatibility is the same. Hope that helps!

This grill definitely used a lot of propane! I cooked Breakfast and Dinner on this using both burners and used 1 to 1 1/2 cans of propane each day. It puts out some heat though and can bring a large pot of water to boil within 5-10 minutes. You don't need the burners on high with this grill. Medium/low worked just great. Love this grill a lot but wish it had indicators to help control the low/medium/high settings.

It does not come with a tank. You have 2 options. If you buy the small screw-on tanks, available most anywhere like WalMart etc, everything is ready to attach one of those. I purchased two of those 16.4 oz tanks and after using the grill 3 times for about 25 minutes each, I still am on the first tank. If you want to hook it up to one of those larger propane tanks like those used for the big grills, you'll need to purchase a separate hose for that. I did buy one of those as well, but have not used it yet. One end attaches right to the grill and the other to the 5 gallon propane tank, nothing else needed but the hose itself.
