Grills & Griddles
Weber Q2800N+ Portable Grill
Price: $399 (Amazon), $450 (Weber.com)
The Weber Q2800N+ builds on the iconic Weber Q series with new, enhanced features designed to take camp grilling to the next level. Featuring two burners—a primary circular burner and a secondary burner in the middle—this grill offers unmatched versatility. The dual burner system provides an exceptional temperature range from 250°F for low-and-slow cooking to a sizzling 700°F ideal for perfect searing.
Notable features include removable side tables, front-access grease catch for easy cleaning, and a higher dome lid suitable for rotisserie chicken. Unlike previous models, this Weber Q connects directly to standard propane tanks rather than smaller disposable tanks. Its solid build quality and impressive cooking range make it ideal for campers who seek both durability and versatility for their 4th of July Camp Cooking.
