Hi there,
I was up waaayyy too late one night and I saw an infomercial for this
barbecue called 'Q'. I thought, hey! I could use one of those (it was 3am!)
I forgot about it by morning.
I then saw a review of tailgate BBQs in the October issue of Men's Health.
The Weber Q got top honours. I didn't think about the infomercial at the
time.
I don't have a family(just a gf) so something portable would be cool. I
looked up some BBQs on the Internet(trying to buy one at end of season if I
can 
). And I found a reference to the Weber Q grill. I went to the
website and found out it wasn't the one on the infomercial.
I'm somewhat of a newbie in the BBQ area so here's my questions oh Lords of
All Things Smoked and Tasty(tm) 
:
1) Who makes the ASOT 'Q' grill

2) Is it any good?
3) Am I better off getting the Weber Q grill?
http://www.weberstuff.com/weqpogasgr.html
4) Is there another compact one I should go for?
Thanks in advance,
J
Suggest you go here for a FAQ.

It is good reading. Determine if you want to cook with propane or
coals/briquettes/wood.
The ASOT one, never heard of it. The Weber, my experience with Weber
products is nothing short of great. I do not know much of this model
specifically, but would guess it is a great product.
The draw back on the portable propane grills is the small cylinder of
propane. I think they are good for about 90 minutes or so. I don't own a
propane grill, but I understand buying propane in these small cylinders
gets expensive.
Just cause you do not have wife/kids now does not mean you can't have a
larger unit. The size of the unit is more dependent on what your
current living arrangements are (apartment, house, condo).
If your a camper and that is what you want the grill for, than yes, a
portable may be the answer.
Bottom line, hang around here for awhile, read the FAQ and learn the
different ways of outdoor cooking.
Many Q'ers have both a smoker and a grill. Learn more about what you
want and can have.
If it is a Weber product you decide on, go for it. Don't wait for a
sale. They don't happen often.
