Is the Weber Q 1000 good for a small balcony?

Yes. Its compact body fits tight spaces and the single burner keeps it simple to run. Check your building's rules on open-flame grills first.

Can I cook for a family on it?

It handles a meal for two or three comfortably. Larger families will run out of grate space and should look at a two-burner model.

It is designed to sit on a stable, heat-safe surface. Weber sells separate carts and stands for it, but the grill itself is a tabletop unit.

The Q 2000 adds a second burner and more grate area, which allows two-zone cooking. The Q 1000 is lighter and simpler but gives up that flexibility.

It runs on a standard propane cylinder, which connects to the regulator and hose. The grate and catch pan come with the grill.

It needs seasoning and should be kept dry to prevent rust. In return it holds heat well and gives good sear marks.
