Pros
- TechGearLab: "the legs on the Go-Anywhere fold up and snap into place to secure the lid, preventing an ash or charcoal spill in the trunk of your car"
- The two-piece grate lets you add charcoal mid-cook, and the box stores a compact chimney and tools inside
- $89.99, sold and shipped by Amazon.com
Cons
- TechGearLab: "the bottom dampers fit too tightly to the grill body, making them especially hard to adjust"
- A young owner record (118 ratings), and 3 of the 4 US critical reviews describe missing screws or vent parts
- A rectangle wastes the corners: about 160 sq in, against the Jumbo Joe's 240 for 4 lb more
Missing parts in the box. US owners describe handle screws that "aren't long enough", missing parts "that hold the front and back vents" and a missing Char-Rail; one says the flame "easily blows out if there is any breeze". A Mexican owner's plastic end handle melted on the first cook (Weber replaced it under warranty).
