Weber Q 2200

The Q 2200 is the pick when space, not capacity, is the limit. Its single 3.52 kW burner heats a 54 x 39 cm cooking area (~2,106 cm2, roughly 12 burgers), and BBC Gardeners' World named it a Best Buy for small gardens, calling it sturdy and well-made and noting it reaches around 400°F in five minutes. You still get Weber hallmarks — a cast-aluminium lid and body, porcelain-enamelled cast-iron grates, electronic ignition, a lid thermometer and folding side tables — at roughly around three-quarters the price of the Spirit. Its warranty (5 yrs cookbox, lid, burner tubes and grates against rust/burn-through; 2 yrs other parts) is solid for the size. The trade-off versus the full-size trolley picks is obvious: one burner means a single heat zone and no room to feed a big group in one go, and there's no enclosed bottle cabinet. Add the compact stand or cart for portability. Price is indicative; cylinder and regulator cost extra.
