At Top Ten Reviews, we are dedicated to providing consumers with the best possible purchasing advice. To achieve this, we conduct extensive testing of products, from unboxing and assembly to performance, storage, and maintenance. One reviewer mentioned that the grill was not small and would barely fit in the trunk of a standard sedan. They added that if you managed to fit it in, there would not be much room for other things.
As complicated as this process may seem, we’ve only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way. I highly recommend cooking cheeseburgers on this grill by the way. Since the grates have areas that are solid, excess cheese can sit on there and form a delicious crust as it melts, giving flat iron and charred flavors at the same time. Once assembled, it was time to give the Weber a go at its most important duty.
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.
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.
Weber also makes the Q series that features foldable side shelves. There are a few models to choose from and we’ve got a guide that looks at the most popular Weber Q1200 vs the Q2200. Even the largest model is smaller and more compact than the Traveler, you can purchase a foldable cart. Simply slide the wheel end out first, lower it to the ground with the handle, grab the handle of the other end of the grill and off you go. The exterior hood and body are painted porcelain-enameled steel with stainless steel accents around the lid. The lid’s handle is also stainless steel as is the burner inside the grill.
Additional international shipping opportunities may be available, please call for availability. International orders are not eligible for our standard return policy; returns made internationally will be handled on a case-by-case basis. All orders exceeding $99.00 will qualify for free standard shipping; standard shipping applies to standard locations within the contiguous 48 states.
Once the cooking tests are complete, we consult with experts and seek advice on the best ways to clean, store, and maintain the grill. The Weber Traveler is an ideal option for people with limited space who need to move their grill out of sight after cooking. It is also a great choice for those who want to take their grill on a trip in an RV or move it around the yard to avoid the sun.
My testing of the grill consisted of turning it on and seeing how long it would take to get to max temperature. The hottest I ever got the grill was around 500°F which took weber traveler about 7 minutes. Cleaning the grill and the grates is painless, but having the grates seasoned properly is key to preventing all that grease and gunk from sticking to them.
