The rectangular shape and the six air vents make it ideal for indirect cooking.

I own one of these grills. We love it. We take it camping and use it quite often at home. Will not disappoint. Great tool for those who love outdoor cooking.

This was my first weber. I bought it maybe 15 years ago. Still takes it camping but a couple of weeks ago I bought the Q1200 on a trip due to very dry weather and didn't want to send sparks in to the woods from emptying the chimney starter. Always a reason to get a new weber ☺

@GallaghersGrub 10 ай бұрын

A lot of Aussies have the Q1200 for the same reason. Where they go camping, they’re not allowed to bring charcoal grills because of the dry season. In any case, both grills get the job done. Cheers!

@@GallaghersGrub yeah I just received mine today. It's soo compact. I been using my weber traveler for camping but it's too big for transport. Definitely not ideal for camping unless you have sufficient room. And I miss charcoal grills. I realized everything tastes better using charcoal and nothing compares to that smoke smell that propane cannot provide .

Great review. I have over the years had two of these in the propane versions. The thing I liked about them is they are easier to store in a vehicle or RV and that's important for a portable device. I always liked the idea of propane for quick easy and clean use. That said some things I like to cook ( salmon is a biggy) don't cook well on a propane grill. I might actually get one of these for this fall coastal fishing trips. FYI, I found my gopro and accessories so I'm back to watching videos showing me how to use the darn thing. Hey I'm really looking forward to seeing you do a turkey on the Kamoda. You're really going to enjoy it. Get a two probe remote thermometer so your not opening it up to often. Brian have a great day. 🌞

Nice! This little Go-Anywhere is half the weight of the Q1200. But you do have to carry a mini-chimney and charcoal, so I guess it evens out. Can't wait to see your vids. Some of the Go-Pros have a fish-eye effect to the video, so it'll be interesting to see how that works out for you. I'd recommend using an iPhone 13 for your vids. The colors out of the new iPhones are amazing. I indirect grilled an 18-lb turkey on my weber kettle two years ago on Thanksgiving in 25 mph sustained winds. Oh man, what a pain in the ass that was. Very stressful thinking the wind would take some ash out and start a forest fire. It'll be much nicer on the windproof KJ. Cheers man!

@@GallaghersGrub so if I was to use my cell I would be using a my Samsung Galaxy. However using the videos I've been watching my gopro 7 hero black has lens adjustments to lesson the wide angle. Plus it has built in self stabilization and is waterproof to 33'. I'm going to keep the options small and simple and learn how to go from there. I do need to get a wireless microphone. It's going to be a blast sticking it underwater when netting a salmon. I intend to place it in a crab pot also so folks can see the crabs go into the pot. Yuppers, gonna be fun. 👍🔥🐟🎣🦀

Great review. You know you can control the heat really well by tilting the bottom vents and adjusting the top vents to make it run cooler or hotter depending on what your grilling.

Weber should make a larger version of this. Like maybe 1&½ size of this would be perfect. Maybe slightly deeper.

About to go to France for 4 weeks…we always take our Q 1200, but this time we’re going to take our GA and be bothered to use charcoal! I have the gas version of this which is pretty neat, but if you’re going gas then you can’t beat the Q. I’ve bought a riser for the GA to do some indirect cooking as well, so France here we come. Keep on grillin’ indeed 👍🏻

@GallaghersGrub Жыл бұрын

Thanks R T. Appreciate you watching. I haven't tried an electric Q, but the gas Q1200 is about 30 lbs compared to the Go Anywhere at 13. Thing is you need to carry a small chimney and charcoal with this as well. The Q1200 has about the same cooking area, so I'd say they're pretty similar. Only with this, you get a little extra flavor with the charcoal. Cheers!

I've had this grill for years. Its a great direct fire portable grill. I also have the jumbo joe and its great for indirect cooking. I can cook a whole rack of spare ribs indirectly on the jumbo joe. The jumbo joe is the better portable grill and the one that comes camping with me. The go anywhere does have its place though. It fits nicely in my storage compartment of my semi and i take it with me on the road. Easy for steaks, burgers and brats.

Hey Brian, thanks for another awesome video. I really like your style of presentation. One thing I wonder a little about. You said, that the Go Anywhere might be better than the regular Smokey Joe. I am wondering why and I would appreciate it much, if you would explain me why that is your conclusion. I have like 5 different SJ with different colors in my collection and as well a GA which is still sitting in its unopened box. When it comes to tailgating I mostly use the Q1000 or Q1200. Fun fact: last tailgate party I showed up with the 22 1/2 inch performer 😂 Take care and thanks as always for your fantastic videos Dee

@GallaghersGrub Жыл бұрын

Hey Dee. I haven't used the Smokey Joe in about 15 years, so going on the advice of Baby Back Maniac. He says that the Jumbo Joe is better than the Smokey Joe because of the vents. Essentially, you get better air flow with the Jumbo than the Smokey. Now, I have used the 18-inch Weber Kettle, which is now essentially the Smokey Joe, and I found it as good as a regular 22.5 inch kettle, just smaller. I also like the rectangular shape of the GA. It seems easier to pack into a vehicle than either the Smokey or the Jumbo Joes. So, you're the type that shows up at the tailgate with the full-sized performer. Lol! I love it.

@Mithrandir4444 Жыл бұрын

@@GallaghersGrub Hey Brian, thanks for your detailed answer. Now I can imagine, why the GA seems to be better than the SJ. There are two types of SJ. One carries the ash pan below the cooker box like the bigger models. But Weber redesigned and put the vents left and right with the handle. The ash pan below wasn’t cool since hot coal was able to drop from the pan and fire up the environment. On Facebook there is a SJ group and you see people using them heavily. You should see that. 😂 Regarding tailgate parties, I really love that. And you won’t believe. I even showed up with a Weber Kettle Ranch. I could send you some picture via Instagram if you are interested. Take care and all the best Dee

I normally put the Raw Pork sausage on first to cook when I turn once then the frozen burgers go on (if fresh burgers I wait a little longer cooking the pork) I would put the asparagus on after you flip the burgers to have everything come off at same time

I had one of these grills but must have given it away because it's nowhere to be found. There's a company in New Zealand that makes all kinds of interesting accessories for this grill to allow you to smoke or rotisserie with it and they ship to USA. I definitely like it better than the current version of the Smokey Joe because the air intake vents on that grill are above the level of charcoal so air flow isn't ideal. Thanks for another great video. I always want to fire up a grill after watching your channel.

@GallaghersGrub Жыл бұрын

Hey thanks for the kind words purleybaker. I've heard the airflow in the Smokey Joe isn't great. There's a Weber GA Life Facebook page, where people post pics with the Go-Anywhere. It inspired me to pick one of these little guys up, and I definitely like it. Fire it up!!!

I had the propane one back in 2018 when I was in the oil fields.. when we had to shut down for a few hours I'll start to grill it. But I didn't like the grease hitting the fire burners and it looks like shit when I was done .. lmao that in any propane grill not a flattop!! So I just stick to wood or charcoal and best bet for flavor

I prefer the rectangular shape of the GA over the round Joe. Better for 2 zone cooking, storage & maximising grill space.

I own the grill. It's good, but not as good as Jumbo Joe. I find the Go-Anywhere has uneven heat and the coals are too close to the grill. I wonder if the grate from the gas version fits the charcoal version..
