Q140 Electric - Pros-Cons?

[jeffrackmo]

Hey ya'll!!

I picked up a FREE Q140 (1400) electric Grill yesterday.  Its intended as a Xmas Gift for a buddy of mine that cant have Charcoal OR LP grills at his Condo (I know.. Ludicrous right???).  Now maybe he can invite ME for some que'd goodness!!!! 

It was used ONCE.. The bowl was wrapped in HD Foil as well as the grease pan.   I literally peeled the Foil wrappings off and it is basically new!!  Rinsed it off with Dawn and a sponge and its looks NEW to me!!!

I am picking up a used Q220 LP and Cart for 25.00 today and a full cover for 15.00.  Mainly for the Cart. 

Good and bad points welcome!!

TIA!!!

I've read that it's the best electric grill, but don't think that's saying much ... but also think that's irrelevant if that's all he can use.

I've also read it's a better machine than the Q2400 because they have the same wattage rating, which means the larger one can't get as hot.

It'll be good, crank it and grill.

Try to use it on a dedicated 20 amp circuit if possible. If he needs to use an extension cord, keep it as short as possible and 12 gauge only. A smoker box or foil pack with chips well go a long way as far as flavor goes.
