After months and months of waiting in FB marketplace, I finally got 1 of this weber go anywhere charcoal type. I love the portability and size, save me a lot of charcoal consumption compared to when using my 22 inch weber master touch kettle and jumbo joe 18 inch portable grill. I got a drip pan for the charcoal today from thrift shop for $2 so i don't have to keep on using foil. Next up, im cutting the grate into 2 for easy access to charcoal re-fill when cooking. amazing product from weber.
I actually saw somewhere years ago where someone drilled out the weld spots on the handles to take them off. This gave him a rectangular box to pack. Then when ready to use he just used bolts and wing nuts to reattach the handles . Although the charcoal starter is sufficient for a quick cook, you will normally have to reload it for an extended cook.
today is 5/10/2022, we just got a go anywhere from amazon earlier today, you are in west central florida ,, us too !!! we're in zephyrhills :),,, we are looking forward to using ours,,
Got my wga today. And those vents are really rightly screwed to the surface 😮. When turning the paint is getting damaged. Can imagine this will be a weak spot in time.?
i just got my GA grill a few days ago and cooked a few things on it the other night.... definitely need to cut the grate for charcoal access. also... i had a hell of a time with burning. idk if i need less coal or... :/ was just kind of frustrating and always felt cramped and outta space. (i was cooking 3 items.... small butternut squash. burned up over direct heat. tho it still tasted good. asparagus, mostly fine. burgers.) it was the timing and juggling and stuff that i had trouble with. i also cooked everything open. the pan i had for asparagus was flat and practically the length of the grill so i had it just turned sideways... (guess i could cut in half. i used it as a handle and resting place which was fine, i just couldn't close the grill.) i guess my knowledge of grilling, gotten here on YT, isn't totally transferrable to the mini kits.
I would recommend something like a bolt cutter if you want to cut the grate. If you use an angle grinder make sure to use a thin disc to prevent removing too much metal as it could make it more wobbly
How do the file handles hold up to heat? They’re quite close to the lid surface. (I stole your idea but yet to cook with them on and mine look even closer to the surface) thanks in advance!

Should be available from weber dealers in your area or amazon etc. Hardware stores are sometimes dealers so check on the weber site for dealers near you. If you were closer I would give you one.

The one I bought in the uk doesn't have the side handles but does come with a baseplate that goes under the charcoal grate.
@@chriswalters1228 gas or charcoal ? Plate underneath is a European safety thing.
Where did you get that black tray with the holes in it that you were able to fit under the grate? I enjoyed your video!!
Char broil enameled grill basket set sold at target. I was gonna buy it the other day. Comes in a set of three different baskets.

The wood is fine but the metal is rusted from the salt air where I live.

What did you use for handles, I couldn’t make out what you said.
They are handles for small hand files. Check you local nonbigbox hardware store.

Where I can buy this mini chimney?have you got any link to help me?or a code of the product

I think it is the ‘Weber 7447 Chimney Starter, Compact’. Check your local BBQ store, Amazon etc
