Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

With the new year here, it’s not too early to start thinking about spring and summer and mouth-watering barbecues. If you live in a house with a backyard and a deck or patio, you can probably buy whatever grill you want (or whatever you can afford anyway), but for those of us who live in condos and apartments, we sometimes have to deal with association rules that deny barbeques on the balcony (or maybe you don’t even have a balcony). These places usually have some kind of communal area you can use however; you just need a grill small enough to cart down there. Enter the Weber Baby Q, a portable gas grill that’s small enough to tuck under your arm (well, it’s 29 pounds, so you might need both arms to carry it).

The 14-inch-tall grill doesn’t skimp on cooking space: there’s 189 square inches where you can spread your burgers, hot dogs, steaks, and whatever else out. The Weber has push-button ignition, a reinforced nylon grill frame, and a cast aluminum lid and body, which makes it sturdy enough to “stand up to the occasional drop off the tailgate.”
