I have the same grill because apparently I have an “issue” with collecting Weber grills. The list is long and I love the company. Anyway, I thought I’d use this more but really haven’t. Looking forward to some of your cooks with this as it might be the motivation I need to do the same.
Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment! I've used it once and it really is easier to set up, light up and clean up when you're doing a small cook. Works great when cooking for two. It is a great little smoker, too. Thanks again!
Great video, just got my Go Anywhere today! I note you haven't kept the Catch Pan in. Is this not needed to protect the bottom of the BBQ? Does everything still fit if you leave this in? Just tried with the chimney in and it fits so I guess most of the other bits will also?
Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment! Hi Tom. Hmmm, I'm not sure what you mean by catch pan...Mine didn''t have one when I bought it. Just the bottom grate for the charcoal. Anyway, sounds like your kit fits and you'll be able to fix it up the way you like it. Thanks again!
Had my charcoal go anywhere for 5+ years now. Love it and this has got to be the koolest set-up I've ever seen for it. Great tips + organization... I gotta get that small toaster oven pan! Keep rocking 🤘
Great video - good man! just bought one of those bbq- I think I would like to do what you have done, although a little nervous cutting the grate. Can fit everything in without cutting the grate??
Hi John. I'm not sure if everything would fit without cutting the grate. Reason is that you turn the grate sidewayys and it fits in the bottom leaving room for other stuff. But, the main reason to cut the grate is so you can add charcoal without having to remove all the food. I'm sure you'll come up with your own system using what you want to have in there. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Good luck and happy grilling!
Seen a dozen of set ups but yours looks the one most thought through. Following the 15th bar cut as that will give me just a littte more space for a family of 4. That grill oven thing, need to find it in th EU. I am carrying pots and pans to the campsite, so I think I will replace that for an iron lunchbox (mess tin) stuffed with pre-made rubs, knife etc, so I only need meat & separate the eating things from fire things. Knowing the misses these things end up last to pack and "wont fit"...
Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment! Good luck and I'm sure you'll figure out what works best for you and your family. thanks again!
Hi, just a question about putting meat on the toaster oven pan for smoking, at the same level as your charcoal, does the direct heat coming from the side of your pile of coals not overheat your meat on the side closest to the briquettes/charcoal? As I'm in NZ but think I've found a similar size toaster oven pan and rack here (10 inches?) and if doing low and slow works using your method then I'd like to give it a go.
Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment! A couple layers of foil on the divider helps but do plan on rotating the food. Minimal amount of coals. Good luck!
Ummmm I like this might go look at the store if if they carry a go anywhere grill. I have Blackstone for my trailer but On windy days it sucks lol charcoal is always good. My Smokey joe works wonders but I LOVE you store everything inside it I’d buy it just for that reau
Thanks for watching! The WGA is a great grill and I'm sure you'll like it. I'm not sure if it is available in stores but you could go on line and check at places like Lowes or HD. No big thing but please note that when a TH-cam creator does a review, they usually will put a link to Amazon in the description so you can go through their link and buy it there. The creator gets a small commission and the item does not cost you any more than if you just ordered it. It's not much but it helps fund the creator so they can buy other items to review. Net zero gain for them but it helps. I really appreciate you watching! Thanks again.
Great video and a lot of cool tips. Please do a video of cooking a whole chicken or even a spatchcocked one as I could not figure it out and cooked it on my Q instead. Thanks Joe
Hi Joe. Thanks for watching. I'm doing a series on cast iron cooking over the next couple of months so it would be a while before I can do a cook on the WGA. However, I will tell you that when I cooked a whole chicken I put the divider in about 1/4 fron the end and filled the small side hot with coals. I did use the bottom grate. I put the chicken breast side up on the toaster oven rack/pan and placed it in the bottom. Lid on and let it cook. HOWEVER, I did neet to turn it a couple of times. Meaning that I started with the breast toward the heat and turned it around about durning the cook. So, I suggest that you truss the chicken leaving a bit at the top to lift the chicken so you can turn it around. It worked out pretty good for me. Took quite a while and I had to add charcoal once. But...I ended up with a really super tasty roasted chicken. Hope this helps good luck. Let us know how it turns out for you. Thanks, Dave
@@NextWithDave Yes that helps, and thank you for the detailed instructions. I will have to check out your cast iron cooking even though I am going through my grilling phase at the moment. I will be on the lookout for the whole chicken on the WGA down the road some time as believe it or not I could not find one on TH-cam.
Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment! Seems to last for a very long time. Yes, safe against the coals. aluminum melts at about 1200 deg F so no problem. Thanks again!
Hi Carlos! Thanks for watching. Here is a link to the camp kit : www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-Space-saving-5-Piece-Cookware-Mess-Kit-Stainless-Steel-and-Plastic/528724198
Wow! DAVE, you got it all thought out. That Weber Go Anywhere grill looks great! It's a nice hibachi style grill. You could take it anywhere. It's alot better then having to lug a cast iron grill around. That cover let's you do more too. Its nice how it all folds up and you can put it away too. I have a Weber Smokey Joe Jumbo, that's a 18inch kettle grill and I love that too. That's another one you can do alot with.... Thanks for the great video! You gave me lots of ideas....
Hi Wayne. You're so right about the smokey joe. In many ways it is better than the go anywhere. Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment!
What a brilliant intro you did there. Really informative,to the point,concise and some innovative ideas. I’m a big Weber fan,but my 2 grills are the Genesis and a Q 1200…both are faultless,but I wouldn’t mind one of these to be more ‘authentic’! I’ve subscribed as I love your no nonsense ways,without any waffling(as so many do). My best from the east of England.
Great video Dave. I just ordered a go anywhere grill yesterday. Can you reuse those grill toppers?. Do you think it would be a good idea to fold a piece of foil over the toppers?. Subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment! Yes, I do think you could cover the toppers with foil. It would help create more of a heat zone. Great idea! Thanks for your input!
Living in an apartment with little room for storage, your setup fits our lifestyle AND has all the right pieces of kit. My suggestion is to add a few steel skewers, or a bag of bamboo skewers. I am looking to add two lengthwise bars for a hibachi/yakitori grill. You gave me some great ideas for my kit, especially the charcoal barriers.
Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment! Anna, I may do some cookiing videos on the WGA some time in the future but for now, my filming schedule is booked with other products and recipes for the next few months. Thanks again for watching!
Thank you for watching Byron! I prefer cast iron grates for most applications. Same reason I prefer CI to SS for frying pans and dutch ovens. They retain the heat better when food is applied. However, I have never cooked on a grill with the really thick steel grates so maybe they do retain heat well. I think of it like the difference between SS pans, Carbon Steel pans and Cast Iron pans. Except that in pans, sometimes you want temp response fast and sometimes slow. At the end of the day. I'll take my cast iron grates and sometimes switch them out for the aluminum Grill Grates which are awesome. Check out the video's I did on them if you are not familiar. Sorry for the long response but I hope it helps. Thanks again!
Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment! The mesh is actually a grill topper. look for a link in the description if you'd like to order it from Amazon. It's usefull for a lot of stuff.
I was about to pull the trigger on a Weber Go Anywhere and then I saw PK came out with the PKGO. If you didn’t already have the Weber and you had to choose between these two, which would you pick?
Hi Jeff. The PKGO is an awesome cooker! But... it is 4 times the price of the WGA. I’m sure it will cook better and last a lot longer so if you’re looking for that level of performance and can afford it get it. For me, I use the WGA only occasionally so I’d buy it and use the difference on something else. Divide the number of uses into the cost and consider that into your decision. Can’t tell you the number of items I thought I’d use more than I did so the cost per use was not worth the difference in quality or performance. There are probably other factors unique to your situation so consider them all. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching! Let us know what you do!
I have a couple of things I want to do with it. For one, I want something that I can finish Sous Vide cooking with that I can take to work. Plus, since it only takes a few minutes to get a good sear after Sous Vide, I think something compact that gets really hot with only a small amount of charcoal would be great. Also I would like to be able to do small one person smokes during the week. That one might fall into the category that I might not do it as often as I think I will.
Thanks Jeff. There are.a multitude of small propane or charcoal grills that will fit the bill for you. Weber even makes a propane version of the WGA. Good luck, I'm sure you'll find just the right one for your use and budget. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
So by lateral you mean the sides would be widened ? The width and length? Or do you mean height scale as well? : ) If this was entirely scaled up by about 40 percent, that would be more rad, less portable though.. ;)
Great video Dave, how difficult was it to cut the grates in half and sand it down with a hacksaw (what kind of blade did you use)? Also how do you keep everything so clean?
Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment! Cutting the grate was pretty easy. The metal they use is not that hard. So using a standard hacksaw blade and some 100 grit sandpaper worked well. As for cleaning, this was an unboxing video so none of the items had been used yet. Just like after any camping trip, you'll have some clean up to do at home to prepare for the next trip. Thanks again!
The custom dividers to control the areas of heat is pure genius. Thanks for the great ideas, Dave!
Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment!
I bet those will melt

2024 and this is still the best mod video for Weber Go.
You sir, are a genius! Excellent presentation showing the versatility of the Weber Go Anywhere.
Thanks for the kind words and taking time to comment!
Just wow! This is such an excellent and compact setup. Thank you, sir, now I have lots of ideas how to make my Go Anywhere better!
I love how organized you are. That would be a great grill to take up a park for a yummy breakfast cook. Thanks for all your great ideas!
Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment!
Man! You put some thought in there! I didn't want one of these, but now I do. Thanks for the info!

Thanks 👍
Outstanding video sir. Everything you have is very useful and portable. I had one of those frying pan kits when i was a scout as a kid in the 80's.
Thanks Dan! Scouting is awesome!
One of the best if not the best vids of cramming stuff in a Weber Go.
I finally bought one and had to reference your video again.
Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment!
Neat. Can you do some cooking demos for breakfast lunch and dinner ideas on this set up?
Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment! Anna, I may do some cookiing videos on the WGA some time in the future but for now, my filming schedule is booked with other products and recipes for the next few months. Thanks again for watching!

I wonder what would happen if Weber increased the lateral dimensions of the charcoal Go Anywhere by 75%. Would there be any other grills sold?
Thank you for watching and especially for taking time to comment!
So by lateral you mean the sides would be widened ? The width and length? Or do you mean height scale as well? : )
If this was entirely scaled up by about 40 percent, that would be more rad, less portable though.. ;)
@@DevJB yes, scaled up by all dimensions
