Our Experience

La Weber Go Anywhere es una BBQ portatil conocida por ser simple, robusta y facil de llevar. En esta review miramos si su formato compacto sigue ofreciendo sabor, control y versatilidad para camping, picnic o sesiones pequenas en casa.

Why the Weber Go Anywhere?

Because I wanted that real fire and smoke flavor, I looked for a cheap but high-quality alternative to start with. The choice fell on the Weber Go Anywhere. As the name suggests, this device is small, compact, and incredibly easy to take with you. Whether you're in the backyard in Apeldoorn or playing a fanatical game of 'BBQ bingo' with friends in the park, this compact grill is the ideal companion.

From Standard to Personalized: My Modifications

I started with the standard version as you buy it in the store. That works very well right out of the box, but I soon found out that you can get even more out of it. To tailor the barbecue completely to my hand, I have purchased a number of indispensable modifications over time.

Bakelite knobs

Safety

Replaces the standard metal slides that get red hot. No more burned fingers when adjusting the air supply.

Split grate

Flexibility

Splits the grill area into two zones. Ideal for the reverse sear method: indirect cooking then direct searing.

Heat Wall

Indirect grilling

A heat shield that directs coals to one side. Creates a cold zone for low & slow cooking.

Coal basket

Airflow

Holds coals together and improves bottom-up airflow, resulting in more even and higher temperatures.

Plancha

Must-have

The cast iron griddle that transforms this small grill into a versatile cooking unit. Perfect sear on everything.

Performance: Weekly Enjoyment

Once I had it set up and equipped with the right accessories, the barbecue went on weekly. Despite the compact size, I've grilled truly everything on it. From thick steaks that I first cook indirectly and then sear firmly over the coals, to simple sausages and vegetable skewers. It performs incredibly consistently and builds up impressive heat thanks to the smart air circulation.

Insider tip: the Plancha is the killer-feature

With the Plancha on the Weber Go Anywhere you have a full-fledged outdoor cooking plate that can handle anything: stir-frying, frying eggs, Korean BBQ style meat — all on a grill you can carry in a backpack.

Result: Juicy satay

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Weber Go Anywhere suitable for indirect grilling?

Yes, especially with a Heat Wall or by moving the coals to one side, you can perform indirect cooking perfectly. This makes it more versatile than most other portable BBQs.

What fuel is best to use in the WGA?

We recommend high-quality charcoal for high heat, or briquettes if you want to cook indirectly for longer. Since the WGA is compact, you only need a small amount for optimal results.

Can I take the Weber Go Anywhere on a bike or in a backpack?

At 3.6 kg, it's very light, and the legs fold over the lid to lock everything in place. It fits perfectly in a large backpack, but most people just carry it by the handle.
