It’s a sturdily built unit that comes together in a snap and is completely user-friendly. If you’ve never grilled a single day in your life, I still don’t think you have any problems assembling and operating the Traveler. In my testing, weber traveler the grill heated quickly (hit 500 degrees F in minutes) and stayed hot. Controlling the temperature — while not perfectly precise — was no real issue for me and shouldn’t be a hindrance for the type of grilling most people do.

Once assembled, it was time to give the Weber a go at its most important duty. At 1,300 BTUs, the Weber has a good punch of power for a portable grill so I expected some serious heat. The internal temp quickly rose to just about 500 degrees F with the lid closed but didn’t exceed that temp. Worth noting that 500 is a good mark to hit for high-heat grilling — things like steaks, burgers and in my case, tuna. The tuna steaks and sausages I plunked down on the grill grates got a nice sear with pretty grill marks in about 10 minutes (five on each side).
We added the Weber Traveler grill as a quick option tobuse under a covered porch in rainy weather. Already use the Weber II regularly.The Traveler folds up wonderfully when not in use taking up minmal room. Looking forward to getting much use of the newest Weber to our household. If you’ve spent much time in the Eastern Sierra, you know that it’s the perfect testing ground for high winds. During our fall testing period – a season we like to think of as winter fighting with summer – the intermittent storms brought gusts up to 30+ mph on one of our evenings of testing. The Traveler also features a catchment tray below the center of the cooking area for any excess grease that accumulates during cooking.

Speaking of size, at 320 square inches of grilling space, this has more than enough capacity for any grilling situation I find myself in.
At home, I cooked all kinds of meats, from chicken thighs and wings, to brats and salmon filets. Everything cooked in a reasonable time with that delicious, grilled flavor that Weber has built an empire with. We had to travel about 50 yards in the unkempt grass to reach where we wanted to settle in and the huge plastic wheels made pulling the grill effortless. Simply slide the wheel end out first, lower it to the ground with the handle, grab the handle of the other end of the grill and off you go.
Finally, the grill grates are made of heavy-duty, cast iron which I personally prefer cooking on over others made of porcelain-coated or stainless steel. In my opinion, cast iron holds its seasoning longer and sears meat the best. Those items included the main body of the grill, 2 cooking weber natural gas grill racks, 2 wheels with installation hardware, and a grease pan with an aluminum liner. It’s also big enough that you can enjoy cooking with it at home. Sign up to receive new product news, exclusive offers, grilling tips & recipes, and more from Weber and its affiliates / subsidiaries!
The grill easily folds down and can be pulled effortlessly by the cart handle. The weber genesis grill was deliberately designed to optimize gas use with excellent temperature control. We prefer a temperature reading on the control dial, but the low-to-high range is consistent with our expectations. You can accurately monitor the internal temperature via the thermostat on the top of the lid, though it will adjust to the surrounding air temperature if the lid is left open for more than a minute. For right-handed operators, the temperature dial is conveniently located on the right side of the grill, near the side table which is perfectly sized for our grilling tools and cutting board.
