Due to the amount of cooking space, I also managed to char about 6 hot dogs and 4 turkey burgers at the same time. Next, I attached the camping size propane tank (you can buy an attachment to connect full-sized tanks), performed the burn-off, seasoned the grates with cooking oil and let it cool off for about a half hour. As I spent 6 weeks testing and cooking on the grill, I was impressed by the thoughtful design of the grill. Every feature has been added to enhance your entire experience, from transport to grilling.
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). The 49-pound is a large, heavy-weight standing grill, which makes it difficult to compete against the more petite grills in our lineup. However, the designers at Weber truly put a lot of thought into the ease of transport by including a mechanism that allows for a slow lowering into a compact position.
Even if you clean the grill thoroughly afar each use I would still recommend the Cargo Protector cover. 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. As we’ve come to expect from Weber, The Traveler is a very intentionally built grill that checks all the boxes in terms of quality. Every item was packaged and protected well inside the main vessel of the grill.
Gas-spring controlled design allows you to raise and collapse the grill with one hand. At 32″ wide and only 37 pounds, the grill can be easily lifted and fits easily into the trunk of most compact cars. Register your grill and gain quick and easy access to manuals, replacement parts and warranty. The weber natural gas grill is ideal for a family of four to six who are looking for a taste of outdoor life. The fact it can simply fold into the boot of your car means it’s perfect for a vacation by the sea or perhaps a day trip to the park.
All stock availability and shipping times vary and can change rapidly. If you have any concerns, please contact our customer service team. If you’re seeking a grill with more capacity than a traditional portable grill but more mobility than a typical full-sized grill, the Weber Traveler is a solid buy and represents good value at $399. 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, the grill heated quickly (hit 500 degrees F in minutes) and stayed hot.
The Weber Traveler portable gas BBQ grill offers 320 square inches of cooking space to create the grilled foods you love anytime, anywhere. Weber Traveler gas grills are perfect for tailgating, camping or small spaces like apartment balconies. With the push of a button, the grill ignites quickly and easily. The durable stainless steel burner produces 13,000 BTUs and the infinite control burner valve allows you to set it to the precise temperature you need with an easy-to-use knob. This Weber portable gas grill features a side work table so you have space to spread out, as well as three convenient tool hooks. The compact Traveler grill cart is designed for easy, one-handed setup and fold down, and has an automatic lid lock and all-weather wheels for navigating rough terrain.
The grates are best taken to the sink or a hose for rinsing. Speaking of size, at 320 square inches of grilling space, this has more than enough capacity for any grilling situation I find myself in. If you’re cooking for more than 10 people you may have to grill in batches but for a portable grill, 320 is more than suitable to cook at least 10 burgers or pieces of chicken at once.
Savor the journey with backyard quality food, no matter where the adventure takes you. The refund issued will be for the total amount of the order minus original outbound shipping and any return shipping costs incurred by Spotix Inc. If your return is due to an error made by us, you will not be responsible for shipping costs. The sleek, foldable, gas grill snaps up like one of those urban grocery pushcarts. When collapsed, the Traveler can be rolled around on two wheels but it still features a substantial 320 square inches of grilling capacity. I got my hands on the Traveler to see how Weber’s latest portable grill stacks up against the field.
Nothing beats its balance of features, size, portability , design and durability. Most items shipped via standard parcel service may be expedited for an additional cost to decrease shipping time or guarantee delivery by a certain date. This does not include processing time, which may or may not be altered subject to manufacturer resources and discretion. Items shipped via freight are shipped at the fastest available speed (Priority Freight) and are, therefore, unable to be expedited further. 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.
Therefore, orders shipped Thursday or Friday can be expected to be delivered on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. The Weber Traveler offers a high-quality cooking surface designed to be large enough to prepare a meal for a small group. Measuring 26″ x 15″, the cooking surface is the perfect size to prepare an entire meal.
