The Weber Q is probably more than you need. The ASOT is not very
impressive, IMHO. I saw a few people using both at the Panther's game a few
weeks ago (well, in the parking lot anyway) and the ones using the Weber
seemed much less stressed than the ones using the ASOT. Could be the ones
with the Weber are more serious and perhaps better cooks but just a guess.
I have over ten Webers and only one of them has plastic handles so guess
which one I would recommend.

Actually the Weber Q is a two person carry so let me suggest you look at
this Weber I have linked to below. I have both the gas and charcoal model.
Both work very well but I use the gas one for heating up veggies or bread.
Charcoal is for meat. I call it the brief case model. You can carry the
charcoal inside it to the tailgate and it is cold to touch in about twenty
or thirty minutes after you shut it up or in five minutes if you can dump
the coals. Remember Smokey Bear doesn't like forest fires so dump
responsibly.
