Versatile Cart/Stand
I have a Q 120 with the fold out side tables. I cook for a men's Bocce Ball league and the Weber has been a great way to serve fresh cooked sausage, chicken and beef. Trouble was, it was about a 250 yard hump each way carrying the Q outstretched in front me to the Bocce Ball courts and back to the parking lot. After awkwardly carrying the Q back and forth a few times and making extra trips for the food- buying the scrawny looking cart seemed to make sense. The travel distance potential for my Q is only limited by my ability to walk (or climb). It does what it was designed to do and a little more when stacked with ice chests and dry goods. When not used as a dolly it simply converts to a patio grill table for home use. When not in use it folds flat for easy storage. All in all money well spent. In addition, the price from Amazon was 10 bucks cheaper than my local retailer. With super saver shipping in 3 days I wondered why I waited so long to buy. Save a back = Buy a cart!
Good for portability.
We got this for our Q220 grill. It fits the grill fine, of course. The reason we got this stand instead of the larger, more permanent stand is that we are traveling in our RV and we need a stand that will fold up and store away easily. This stand fits that bill. It is light weight and folds to a reasonable size.
However, for this portability you are giving up sturdiness. It is definitely quite a rickety stand. When you scrape the grill, it practically falls over unless you hold on hard to steady it.
We also thought it would be nice to collapse the cart/stand down to the ground and use the bottom support rack as a handle to roll the grill along the ground to where you want it (pictured by weber to use it that way). I don't know why they show that as a use - it's not do-able with the grill on the stand. You have to remove the grill and pretty much take the stand apart to realign it with the bottom support rack sticking out. They you can put the grill back on, roll...
Best for temporary portable use.
I received this as a Christmas gift 4 years ago with my Q220 grill.
I use it as my grilling stand on the back deck.
It isn't as sturdy as I'd like as the grill moves a little when brushing the grilling surface with a brush.
The grill is "attached" to the stand with some "hooks" that catch the rear legs of the grill. Then the front legs set into some "pockets" on the top of the stand.
If you need to move the grill, be sure to grab the stand and not one of the grill handles as you may lift the grill out of the pockets and it may slip out of the hooks and fall off the stand.
The hooks and small tool storage area are nice and handy. I have a grill brush that hangs from one of the hooks all the time.
I've used the stand while camping and it works well as long as you have level ground. Uneven or bumpy ground is difficult to use with this stand. It is very portable however, and the grill can be placed on the top in the...
