ViperScore breakdown
Should you buy the Weber Go-Anywhere Charcoal Grill?
The Go-Anywhere is the charcoal grill for someone who wants real charcoal flavor at a tailgate, a beach or a park for under $100. It's a Weber, so the build is better than the price suggests, and the folding legs lock the lid on for carrying.
Where it earns its score
- Charcoal flavor, portable size. 160 square inches of grate, about 14 lb, and the legs fold over the lid so it carries like a briefcase.
- Porcelain-enameled bowl and lid. The same rust-resistant finish as Weber's kettles.
- Adjustable vents. Enough control to cook indirect on a small scale.
- $93.96. The cheapest grill we scored.
What to know first
- Small. Six burgers or a couple of steaks at a time.
- Charcoal setup time. Twenty minutes to lit coals versus instant gas; a chimney starter helps.
- Plated steel grate. Fine for the price, not cast iron.
Our verdict
The Go-Anywhere scores 84, a Good Buy. It's the tailgate and camping pick if you want charcoal, and the Weber Traveler Compact is the gas alternative at three times the price.
