The Weber Q cooking system has evolved from the legendary Weber kettle. Just about all Australians know that our Weber kettle produces those famous roasts; roasts with that fabulous flavour you just can’t get any other way. But not many people know how this flavour is created. It comes from the smoke that’s circulated around the roast while it is being cooked. This is a unique Weber kettle trait and it’s what made the Weber kettle a world famous icon. So it comes as no surprise that Weber’s research and development team set about trying to reproduce this flavour when developing the Weber Q cooking system. That’s why the Weber Q (even when grilling a steak or a snag) is operated with the lid down. Just like our Weber kettle, all the barbecue smoke is circulated around the food inside, imparting that fabulous flavour to your favourite meals. So the ‘super barbecue’ flavour is created by both branding the meat on hot iron and the natural convection that circulates barbecue smoke all around the meat. It’s this flavour that is the hallmark of the fabulous Weber Q cooking system.
