The Baby Q
By You | November 18, 2007
For our first wedding anniversary, I bought The Husband a Webber Baby Q to go along with the terrace in our new apartment. Technically such things aren’t allowed — both by building rules and by, well, law — but if you’re careful and aren’t shooting fireworks out of your little grill, no one really bothers you.
I selected this model on the advice of my brother, who uses it for tailgating purposes. He’s got one of those big suburban set-ups going on, so he gets to have a real “man” grill for his day to day cooking needs. We City folk don’t have such luxuries. And indeed, The Husband was totally thrilled with his Baby Q. Thing this does it all. By all I mean steaks, hamburgers, fish, hot dogs, and bratwurst. We’ve yet to try chicken which is OK by me as I’ve never been able to get into the whole BBQed chicken thing.
The only holdback on the rating is that it doesn’t come with attachable side shelf things, as some of the more expensive models, nor are they available to separate purchase (to the best of my knowledge). I was going for small and compact, but now that he’s been using it for a while, The Husband would love to have some side shelves to rest his BBQing tools, and of course, his beer. You also have to purchase the stand and cover separately (which I did, along with some tools and a cleaning brush). I suppose for the price you shouldn’t expect many frills, but I think at least one or two accessories should come with the thing other than two tin foil drip pans. Still, overall great value, and really suits our needs. And it’s cute to boot!
