Has anyone out there made or obtained a simple foldable stand or table for their Weber Baby Q?
I got a $20 something from Bunnings. Blowmould table, big enough for the Baby with room for a plate in front. Perfect height too. I'll take a photo tomorrow if you need more info.

For my gas cooker I use the cheapest roll up aluminium slat table that I could find circa $20. Perhaps not as quick to set up as a blow mould type but stores easily & is very light.
I add a cheap black plastic BBQ cover & a plastic 'table cloth' that both fit into the table bag.
Cheap as chips had a small table last month with aluminium legs, $25 I think. Best thing is it weighs next to nothing and fits the baby Q nicely. Used to cart around the Weber Baby Q stand, but it was too bulky and heavy compared to the C as C table.
Cheers, John.

I am looking for a suitable table for my baby Q so the comments above are of value to me.
When I bought my Q I opted for the genuine stand / trolley that was available.
My advice to others.....dont buy one of these.
They are flimsy, unstable, and the product is very dissapointing.
I appears that it was designed by the trainee engineer on his first day on the job.
Oh, and I should add, they are very expensive (for what it is) as well.
Buyer Beware.

One more, thing I learnt while away on our first trip. (Not to waste your foil trays.) Is that you line your drip tray with foil, you can use it again and again. The foil just lifts up and into the rubbish bag.

Also, the legs fold up within the confines of the table top, and don't stick out like the 'ironing board types, Saving on storage room.
Kmart also sell a bigger version of the Cheap as Chips one. Seen a few of these around in the campsites.
Cheers, John.

Bought a Q2000 series for home and packed up the baby Q for travelling, the first thing I discarded like Dicko was the genuine stand. I now have a table similar to the one DaveJezza and Dougwe have except it has a laminate top which in the store was lighter but just as strong as the blow mould type. The best baby Q accessory I have invested in is the carry bag it's a bit expensive but great for carrying the Q around or putting it in the back of the wagon without any smells. Good tip Jim about using the aluminium foil instead of the trays I'll give that a go.
I had a folding stand that I used to put the primus three burner stove on when camping. You see them all the time in camping stores. I made a wooden top for it to hold the Baby Q and on the ends of the "feet" so that it didn't push through the C Gear matting I attached two pieces of pvc conduit by drilling a hole in each end (an inch or so in) and inserted the ends of the stand into the holes. I held the pvc conduit on with cable ties. Works a treat, very stable and folds up flat for the tunnel boot. If you would like a photo let me know.
Great set-up Hetho. I had to buy a stand/table and unfortunately couldn't do as you have coz of the design of my drawbar as you might see in my avatar. Fibreglass cowling covers the metal. Same Q as yours, just fitted a thermometer as I got used to the bigger Q at home with one. $13 from the big green shed. Instead of judging when it's hot enuff to cook you can see the temp. Just my preference, but easy as to fit.
From Super Cheap Auto I bought an aluminium folding trestle on special $29 I think normal $49 - great as BBQ stand also legs extend to use as trestle to reach up to top of van when cleaning - two birds one rock. when not needed stays folded in rear of Patrol. It looks similar to Alum steps used by some although top is 1 metre long, and extends to approx. 1 metre high (three increments).

i have got the one Blissonwheels has posted. I bought it from the caravan show, easy to set up, solidly made and best of all it all comes apart and folds into a pack with the webber sitting inside the frame so it only takes the same space as the webber. not as cheap as a table from other places but it does the job perfectly.
Outback BBQ Stands as blissonwheels posted make an awesome stand, it adds about 5mm to the height of your Weber when packed up for transport. We have one for our Weber Q2200 so they don't just do baby Q's.
I use an aluminium slat table as per the image. It is light pulls apart into a small carry bag. It also has sufficient room to put other items on the space in front of the BBQ.
