Just curious here, but has anyone with the Balckstone converted it to a quick connect?
I can't really tell from the pictures ptooti posted whether it is easily converted or not.

I haven't done mine yet... (will soon) but it isn't difficult at all... in fact there are youtube videos if you need them... but I figure most folks can figure it out easily enough..

Thanks Javi, I expected it would be easy, but sometimes they make it difficult to remove the existing regulator. Glad this isn't the case with the blackstone. I may invest in one.

My husband bought himself a "Mother's Day Gift" and purchased a Blackstone 17" flat top and we take a Weber Smokey Joe for BBQ. We do have a Coleman 2 burner if we need it but he loves the flat top. He use to be a short order cook so it brings him back great memories and he can cook a really good breakfast on it.

I bought a couple of grilling mats from Menards to place on anything where I'm concerned about heat from a grill or something causing damage to. They are 30"x40" and made of a fiber cement. Heat and moisture resistant. I have used with several grills on plastic tables with no problems. They really block the heat.

We just used our 17" Blackstone for the first time. They are great!!! Gonna be standard equipment going forward. We also purchased the carrying case for the Blackstone and it makes hauling it around very easy.

Weber Q2200

I'm resurrecting this thread for further input.

Gave away the Coleman NexTrip this spring before we left FL. Bought the Blackstone (absolutely love it) but chose not to bring it to FL this round. Just received our new Q2200 and put it together. Bought the griddle hoping to have the ability (to some degree) to cook like we do on the Blackstone. Problem;

How long does it take a 12k btu Weber to get hot? I've had it at max for over an hour and I'm at 400 degrees. I was going to try to season the griddle for it but I'm afraid it may be an all night affair. Is this normal? How do you sear meat without spending an inordinate amount of time waiting for it to get marginally hot?

Just got it, the cart, covers, griddle and accessories and told DW that it looked like it was time to gift this to some soul in the park and look for "a better way". So many love these things....what am I missing or doing wrong?>

Don't know who the link is for but I was just trying to get a little insider info on the use of the Weber Q2200 - thinking I want to get me something a bit different that …."works".

Danny this is by no means a commercial for Weber but we bought a 2200 with stand etal. DW does all the grilling I only do the "bullcook stuff". She starts it up and in about 15 minutes it's up to 450F. Maybe yours has a restriction in the orifice. This one sure beats the piece of crap that came with the TT. Been using it for years until the Weber. Happy wife happy life. I do the beverage duties and very good at it I must say.
Hope you didn't end up getting one for natural gas.

Thanks Joe! What you describe is what I was expecting. It is brand new, out of the box and I'm so disappointed. I bring lots of good quality beef from TX when I come here simply because it is impossible to come by here. The performance of the Weber leaves me very much uncomfortable as a good grill. You can't use a gas grill that takes over an hour to reach 400 degrees. I can't believe that all the folks that love this grill wait that long to heat it up....and then, once opened...do we wait another hour for it to get back to "heat" level?

Just went out again and looked at it. Don't think there is a blocked orifice. It looks just like a 12k burner would look to me...kind of low. I do have the griddle on one side of the grill so that may make the temps a little off but...if that makes this thing "not cook", I have no use for it. Looking for any answers/thoughts. As most know, I have no patience for this kind of stuff...but not sure what the answer would be...unless I bought another Coleman, which seems a bit silly.

Are you connecting to a built in port on the rv? Is it before or after the regulator? If it's after you'll need to remove the regulator from the Weber or it WILL take forever to heat up. If it's before you have a defective grill or regulator on the grill, call Weber.

I am using the small throw away bottles. Used them for years for all kinds of stuff but they are not working for this.

I have a small Treager pellet grill that I carry in the bed of my truck,I plan on mounting it to the campers grill mount,Only thing with the pellet grill is you need pellets and 120v .But it is great for everything and you get smoke flavor.

Danny, I believe we are in our third or fourth year with our 2200 and it won't come with us this year. I have tried everything under the sun to get it to grill a steak and it ain't gonna happen. I finally took the orifice out and drilled it to I believe .0625 1/16 inch or just slightly bigger than factory. It helped a little, but not much. Every know-it-all in our RV park has had their hand at fixing it, to no avail. Ever have to slow-roast a 20 oz ribeye? The grill is a piece of garbage.
