If space is at a premium then the Weber Go Anywhere barbecue grill could be the thing for you. It’s certainly light weight, compact and with foldaway legs, it makes for a neat unit to easily stow. At 13 pounds (6 kg) it’s not difficult to carry.
The Basics
As you’d expect from Weber, it’s black! The rectangular cooking grid provides 160 sq inches of cooking space which is enough for a couple of people but grilling for any more than three would require patience and to eat in shifts.
There are vents top and bottom to control the burn rate of the charcoal so you do have control over your cooking. Because the grill is so close to the coals, set up is all important and I found this to be tricky.
It’s easy to have the coals going so fast and everything cooks to a crisp but that’s not the way I like it. With the lid on you can get reasonable results but you must keep an eye on the coals, it’s easy to loose temperature and then difficult to get it back.
I did however have some great success cooking slices of eggplant indirectly. Coals at one side, eggplant at the other, drizzled with olive oil, lid on and off to the bar. Two hours and a few beers later they were absolutely fantastic.
Why Buy A “Go Anywhere”?
They’re not expensive to buy, I’ve cooked on better but not something that was so portable. You buy one of these if you truly want to go anywhere and cook.
If it’s portability for tailgating (and you’ve got a bit more money to spend) then you might find that a Bubba Keg or
Portable Kitchen Grill
is more to your liking.
Where Can I Get Buy A Weber Go Anywhere Barbecue Grill?
