Weber 1000 Series Baby Q Half Hotplate

Weber 1000 Series Baby Q Half Hotplate is a porcelain‑enamelled cast‑iron griddle designed to bring frying and griddle-style cooking to the Baby Q range.

Baby Q Half Hotplate — Overview

The Baby Q Half Hotplate converts a Q1000 series barbecue into a small griddle surface so you can fry eggs, pancakes, onions or smashed burgers while still using the remaining grill space. Its enamel finish helps with heat retention and prevents sticking for even cooking.
