Weber Portable Charcoal Series

Screws for handles don’t fit – I have just opened my new Weber go anywhere and the screws provided for the handles will not go into the threaded part of the handle. They appear to be too large. I do not understand how this can happen. I will now have to hunt around for alternative screws to fit. Disappointing start Weber. Show details

Is this the perfect portable charcoal BBQ? Probably – This review is long overdue. I absolutely love this BBQ and you will too! Thankful upgrade from the useless Smokey Joe kettle which had pointless side-vents above the coals grate (insert facepalm). Not to be confused with the Smokey Joe with the bottom-vent, that one is a great little BBQ! Purhased this amazing little beast cheap, on Catch… Read more ·  1

($110) at the beginning of Covid and had plenty of time to aquaint myself with it since. I have a 57cm Master-Touch and a Weber Q and this little one is still my favourite. It has never let me down and better yet, has blown the minds of many of my friends with it's versatility, especially when they see it's compact size. I even hosted a BBQ in a park with 20 friends; a lot of the meat and veges being cooked off of this. Tiny but powerful!

This also makes for a great table BBQ when you want to have a backyard Korean BBQ! Then doubles as a small fire pit during colder nights once all the cooking is done. Fantastic.

I'm a huge fan of indirect/direct cooking, particularly with thick cut tomahawk steaks (full rib cuts). It's big enough to squeeze two side by side, with half-side charcoal (bone side) and the other half, empty (meat side). Simply heat the meat until the inner temp is rare (48') then flip the cuts over for a fiery charcoal crust to finish the meat up to medium-rare temp. Perfect everytime!

Temperature control is exceptional! With the side-vents appropriately positioned under the charcoal grate and two vents in the lid, you can vary the temp as much as you need, providing you with a multitude of cooking options. Longest closed-lid cook I did on this was just over 2 hours and the charcoal still had plenty of time in them.

Portability-wise, this is the gift that keeps giving, with legs that lock over the lid during transport, you can take this anwhere! Literally GO ANYWHERE! I take it to friends houses (when they don't have access to charcoal cooking), beaches, parks, and on roadtrips. It is absolutely fantastic.

Maintenance - It has Weber's build quality so cleaning is easy, as long as you look after it! I use the plastic scraper that came with an old BabyQ I had while ago to scrap out the fire box, followed by a wipe down using BBQ wipes, and she's as good as new. A grill brush is also a no-brainer (for the grill, not the fire box). A quick scrap once the grill's hot will save heartache later.

Cost, versus value, versus versatility, this BBQ is a 20 out of 10. It will exceed all expectations! So, if you're looking for a little portable BBQ, stop your search! You found it.

One of the family – I was recently looking to replace a little hibachi grill after an interstate move meant I had to leave the old one behind. Unable to find one anywhere I decided to try the weber go anywhere and am very pleased with it so far. I've been able to do some amazing BBQ's on it for up to 4-5 people -amazing smokey steaks and snags and I always chuck… Read more

on a little roast chicken or beef shoulder while I'm at it because the beads stay hot for a good couple of hours so then I have char-grilled meaty sandwiches for the next few days... Awesome! It's portable, easy enough to clean and most importantly economical on the heat beads which are a little pricey.

Flavour is great on it, only complaint would be the lid could be a little taller as even a small whole chicken only just fits for roasting however a split chicken is quite easily done... that's the trade off for being so portable no real drama. Overall very very happy, over the moon in fact the go-anywhere is an invaluable addition to the household would definitely recommend.

Does the job – well absolutely does the job. enough for 4 maybe 6 people. easy to carry and start and clean. good quality product and not expensive. size and design helps you to do the cooking properly . Show details ·  2

Love it! – Bought this mainly because the Weber Q2200 doesn't do low temp cooking.. it's awesome to cook ribs etc. Can't fault it! Easy clean,and hasn't caught fire! The handles had the wrong screws ( added some little washers) , but it is Chinese. So no biggie. Very good product! Show details ·  1

Can’t get this to stay alight (following instructions) – We could not get the Weber to heat up and stay alight so we could cook (per instructions) We followed instructions for more than 5 times and each time the charcoals went out (even with more firelighters) - so we could not cook our food at all! Also, agree with a previous reviewer that handles are flimsy Note - most reviews listed here are not in rrlation go the Weber Go-Anywhere Show details

Handles don't fit properly – Bought this weber go anywhere grill yesterday from bcf & all 3 plastic handle covers do not fit over the metal handles properly. The plastic handles sit perfectly flush when not attached to grill but once you separate the 2 pieces & try to attach to grill there is a gap of 2-3mm & the screw provided is too short to hold the handle together. … Read more

Contacted Bcf & this seems to be common with this grill & I need to buy longer screws or return the item to weber & wait for weeks to get a refund or replacement as they won't allow you to return to store for refund. Not satisfactory! Why can weber not make a handle that fits or screws that are long enough. So far very disappointed with this product.

Very cute sized bbq – The size & portability of the BBQ is very user friendly. However, it seems like it takes a long time to heat up food with the coal as it is so far away from the grill. When you try to cook the food by putting the lid on, the fire just goes out. We tried to use it once but it took so long we ended up taking the food back to cook on the pan in the kitchen. We have yet to use it again. Show details

25 years old and still going strong – I've had my Go Anywhere for almost 20 years now and it's still as good as the day I got it. Great for small roasts, steaks, smoking fish, chicken wings, even small pizzas. Great in all weather however if it's windy you need to shelter it to retain the heat. Nothing better than cooking over charcoal. I love this thing almost as much as my 1985 Weber Kettle BBQ. Typical well built Weber quality. Show details ·  1

Great Bbq – Portable and light weight great for grilling or roasting over coals , perfect steaks , grilled prawns i have even cooked a small leg of lamb in this little beauty , you will not be dissapointed Show details

Amazing – It’s small Easy to clean Easy to store Great to take to the beach or on a boat great taste from the food cook beef lamb pork roast and it’s been amazing only no issues have come up yet the best this is bbq looks more expensive that what it is great value for money  Show details

Brilliant little BBQ – Received this as a Christmas present and have used it a couple times camping. It takes a little while to get hot but once its going it brilliant for cooking food and keeping warm. We cooked everything on this weber and had no problems at all. It's really good at retaining heat and every morning the coals would still be hot making breakfast nice… Read more

and easy. Due to the simple design of the weber it is really easy to clean and its compact design is really handy if you don't have much space when camping.

Love it – Love my recently purchased portable smokey joe bbq. Went into the store and fell in love with it , great quality, perfect size for a family gathering at home or at the park. Fits in the boot easy. Quality is worth paying, i got it on special at the time.  Show details

Love it! – Love my Smokey Joe. We moved from the country to a small city apartment and I missed BBQ's soooo much, the stove top just isn't the same. This is so easy to use for basic snags and burgers and my partner has smoked some amazing meats using this. We only have a very small balcony but Smokey Joe has allowed us to be able to BBQ regardless of living in a small apartment with no back yard.  Show details

Excellent coal fired BBQ - love it – Really good BBQ. The handles make it very easy to carry. The rectangular shape makes it large enough to feed 6 people comfortably. Unlike the kettle version, it is packable to include all the equipment (i.e. tongs, knife, coal) within it and folds together in one easy pack. The design also makes it easy to light as the coals receive sufficient oxygen. This is my favourite coal style portable bbq that I have ever owned.  Show details

fantastic little bbq – we have had ours for close to 20 years it is the first model with wood handles but the rest of the bbq is the same and we sill love it we have cooked snags to roast lamb and the flavour was to die for. if i ever needed to replace it i would look no further than weber Max  Show details

Weber lives up to the reputation – Well designed and tough. Easy to clean and able to cook 5kg off meat in one go. Good replacement to my old charcoal BBQ which has fallen apart. I suggest to clean it fill with coal and leave in the boot off your car. You will be able to cook in 30 minutes.  Show details

Love This BBQ – This completely suits me as I have limited space and I love traditional barbecues. I can get the juiciest most perfectly cooked steaks on this. I just cant see how a gas one could ever come close. I enjoy the routine of getting the charcoal fired up and relaxing with a coldie until the temperature is just right. It is small and packs away neatly when i am done. Top little barbie.  Show details

This is perfect – This product is really too good. It is not a big barbecue, but it doesn't bother to use it lightly with my friends. Others don't know, but it's hard to clean the glass plate, so I buy the glass plate in Daiso and use it and throw it away.^^ I want to use a new one, but it's a secret that it's not broken.  Show details

Great, but expensive – Bought a jumbo joe as a gift and will now buy one for myself. Good construction, small enough to easily move/store/clean, but big enough to do roasts on. Handy that the lid can rest in the handle while cooking as a sort of wind shield. Weber are really the only choice for (decent) charcoal cookers in Australia which I guess is why they are hideously overpriced  Show details

The perfect carry on accessory for any picnic – Such a portable BBQ where you can put the beads and everything is contained. Food is amazing with coal cooking as usual. Found that you can't overload with beads or it gets way to hot and good stats to burn easily. But if you control the amount of beads, it's a perfect BBQ  Show details

Good for travelling – Having owned the larger 22” one for a long time I wanted to have a smaller one that I could use when grilling just for me and this is perfect. In fact assembly is a breeze took minutes to put together. I’m able to use less charcoal with a little less depth between the charcoal grate and the grillling surface I can get away with 12-16 briquettes… Read more

rather than 25-30 built into a hefty mound and it is small enough and light enough to allow it to be easily transported. The only flaw is the grilling rack doesn’t have any handle to lift it on and off but it is minor.

Fantastic BBQ – This is an amazing BBQ grill which is super portable, lightweight and easy to use and clean. You can even use it as a smoking box if you are able to keep the wood chips/coal on one side of the box. Great for road trips or a just a day at the park. Highly recommended!  Show details

Pretty good compact size BBQ – Great for two people sized meals, easy enough to carry around. Great smokey flavour on meat, enough space for a decent sized BBQ for a couple. Easy enough to use for the average Joe, just make sure you have e a chimney starter. Cleaning is a pain however, needs a bit of scrubbing  Show details

The best BBQ ever for small things – I've had MANY BBQs over the years. This little baby is the one I love the best. Very simple to assemble, extremely portable, excellent flavor, quick and easy to light and easy to keep clean. It's the perfect adjunct to my big Primo for big things. I am in love with this BBQ!  Show details

So portable and easy to use – Had this bbq for a few years and it’s a great size for 2-4 people. It’s also easily transportable and portable as it can easily fit in the boot. We love using charcoal for the taste but other bbqs are hard to clean but the 2 layer trays make it very simple to just put it in the dishwasher.  Show details ·  1

Great for satays! – Great product - easy to set up and use (I suggest getting one of the chimney starters). I have cooked steaks and chicken satay - get a true smokey flavor and does not take long to get hot. It is great to try out different smoke flavors with rosemary, olive wood etc. My only tip is to make sure that if you place the Weber Go-Anywhere on a wooden… Read more ·  1

table to put it on a try, or at least something to shield the table from the heat - because it gets hot. Best of all it packs up very neatly and I store it under our Weber gas bbq. Overall it is a great product and good value.

Weber Jumbo Joe – Three months into ownership of the Weber Jumbo Joe and so far it has done every asked of it. Philosophy behind purchase of the Jumbo was we still wanted to be able to cater for 4 of us and maybe 6 in a pinch with roasting but also not have the BBQ sitting outdoors or taking up to much precious shed space. Big ticks on both counts, one review we… Read more ·  1

read stated that large chickens will foul on the lid "excuse the pun" but I have had no such problem and have even roasted 6 kilo beef rolls without problem. When used as an open charcoal BBQ you will take care of a footy team and their friends no worries if you keep it hot and fast.

So far have only used charcoal which is as Weber intended, will do everything the same as a full size kettle. In my opinion if you aren't over catering this little gem will accommodate you and yours with honors.

Highly recommend! – Great little BBQ. Very intuitively designed. The bbq itself is very compact and suitable for trips or family outings. The plate is very spacious and fits a decent amount of food. Good for small BBQs at home as well. Its easy to clean. No complaints or regrets on the purchase.  Show details ·  1
