For over 50 years, Weber has been engineering barbecues with remarkable cooking systems. Weber premium gas barbecues are no different. The Weber gas barbecue cooking system has been specifically designed to work best with the lid closed. By using the barbecue with the lid closed you can achieve a unique barbecued flavour you can't get any other way. You'll also save gas and money because your barbecue will be more efficient and you'll keep your barbecue area clean.
By cooking with the lid closed, you'll find you get amazing flavour in your food. With the lid closed, barbecue smoke created by fats and juices vaporising on the Flavorizer bars below the grill will circulate the food and give it a unique, smokey barbecue flavour. Weber gas barbecue lids are designed to circulate this barbecue smoke around your food before venting. Cooking with the lid open lets all that delicious smokey flavour escape straight into the atmosphere. By cooking with the lid closed your barbecued food will have that famous Weber flavour that you just can't get with the lid open.
Because the cooking system in your Weber gas barbecue is specifically designed to be used with the lid closed, it's very gas efficient, using less gas than a traditional four burner barbecue. You might hear some people say that a barbecue needs a high gas output to sear a great steak or cook an Aussie barbecue. That just isn't true. More often than not, higher gas output is to compensate for a poorly designed, inefficient cooking system. With the lid down on your Weber gas barbecue, you'll find your barbecue hot enough to sear a great steak, your food will cook more quickly and more evenly and you'll save gas and money.
Cooking with the lid closed will also help keep your barbecue area clean. Because any fats or juices that spit from food are trapped inside the lid, you won't have fat splattering all over your deck or veranda.
Definitely not. If preheated and used correctly, your Weber gas barbecue will cook beautifully seared steaks, perfect lamb chops and grilled chicken breasts. Because of the patented Flavorizer bar system, you're able to cook nearly everything straight on the grill, leaving fat and oil to fall away from the meat instead of boiling around the food like on a traditional flat-plate barbecue.
Your Weber Q is an incredibly versatile barbecue. Using Weber's cooking system, you can cook perfect steaks, chops and sausages. It is more than just a barbecue though, by using a roasting trivet and convection tray, you can turn your Weber Q into oven and cook magnificent barbecued roasts, pizzas, cakes and desserts. Add a hotplate or breakfast plate and you can cook eggs, pancakes and onion rings.

For day to day cleaning of the grill, the best method is to use a Weber grill brush.
After pre-heating your barbecue on high for 10mins, while the grill is very hot, brush along the grill bars where food residue remains, alternately you can clean your grill this way while it is still on after cooking.
It's not necessary to wash your Q grill in water after every use but the grill should be washed in hot water and detergent after every five or six cooks to remove excess grease.
It's handy to re-oil the grills from time to time. Simply remove from the bbq and pop some oil on; spray oils can be good for this. When you place them back in the bbq simply heat up the bbq on low for 5-10 mins to re-seal the grills. (If you use your trivet a lot, for roasts or pizzas etc this can prove beneficial)
Try to keep the grill protected from the elements, particularly if you live near the sea or have a pool. Salt from the ocean and chlorine in the air can contribute to corrosion.
You should never line the inside of your Weber Q with alfoil. Using alfoil can prevent fats and juices from running down into the disposable drip pan. If fat pools in pockets created by the alfoil, it can catch alight and cause a fat fire. Lining your Weber Q with alfoil can also interfere with the ventilation of the barbecue. Without proper ventilation, your Weber Q may not operate properly.
We don't recommend that you use a baking dish in your Weber Q. Apart from the fact that you'll have healthier, better tasting roasts if you use a roasting trivet instead, you'll also help to keep your Weber Q clean and tidy.
When using a baking dish, fats and juices collect and boil inside the barbecue. This spits fat and grease all over the inside of your Weber Q. The next time you heat up your barbecue, you may find fat and grease dribbling from the edge of your lid onto the floor or other parts of your Weber Q. To avoid this, always roast on a roasting trivet as described in the handbook that came with your Weber Q.

Sunshine is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 12 km (7.5 mi) west of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the City of Brimbank local government area. Sunshine recorded a population of 9,445 at the 2021 census.Sunshine, initially a town just outside Melbourne, is today a residential suburb with a mix of period and post-War homes, with a town centre that is an important retail centre in Melbourne's west. It is also one of Melbourne's principal places of employment outside the CBD with many industrial companies situated in the area, and is an important public transport hub with both V/Line and Metro services at Sunshine railway station and its adjacent major bus interchange. == History == === 19th century === The farms and settlements in the area now known as Sunshine first came under the Sunshine Road District (1860–1871) which later became the Shire of Braybrook (1871–1951).From 1860 to 1885 the only railway which passed through the area was the Bendigo line and the only railway station in the area was Albion & Darlington (opened 5 January 1860) at the site of the current Albion station. When the Ballarat line was built through the area, a new station was built at the junction of the two lines: this station opened on 7 September 1885 and was called Braybrook Junction as it was in the Shire of Braybrook. The area around the Braybrook Junction railway station then came to be known as Braybrook Junction. The Braybrook Junction Post Office opened on 25 August 1890. === 20th century === ==== Pre-war Sunshine ==== In 1904 H. V. McKay bought a factory in the area called the Braybrook Implement Works. He also secured 400 acres (160 ha) of land at Braybrook Junction with the aim of establishing housing to allow his future workers to live in the area, along the lines of a company town. The land became the Sunshine Estate (see below).In 1906 McKay moved his agricultural machinery manufacturing business from Ballarat to his newly acquired factory in Braybrook Junction.
