    I had one of these years ago when I lived in an apartment that didn't allow grills. I loved this thing and cooked just about everything with it. Even set it on fire once and still used it for a while after that. Since then I've had bigger charbroils that didn't last longer than 5 years and now I have a weber Genesis. I'm looking to get another one of these for camping soon and I'm pretty excited over this little grill.

    My same sentiments on the previous Weber Gas Go Anywhere. They really messed up with the current design. After having probably 3 of those I went to the Weber Q 120. Now the Q 1200 and I absolutely LOVE IT and HIGHLY recommend it!! I have had the Q over 8 years and replaced the burner tube after 6 years, No complaints.......

      I’ve been heavily considering the Q1200 but I love the size of the go anywhere. I’m actually filming a follow review on the char broil and I’m fed up with it. I’m thinking of buying the Weber go anywhere and then upgrading the grate and flavorizer to aftermarket parts. Happy cooking

    I took the flat metal bottom piece out of mine which is above the burner and put in a small grate and covered it with lava rock. The lava rock gets hot and works well. A neighbor was throwing his old gas grill away and I took the temp guage out of his and drilled a hole in the lid and mounted the temp guage in mine. I love knowing what the temp is. On a windy day I covered some of the air holes in the bottom and the grill will keep burning even on a really windy day

    Hey buddy good video, I too just bought one of this small affordable portable gas grill, I paid $35.00 plus $10.00 for 2 small propane containers spent total of $45.00 saving some cash @ the end & to be honest with u an everyone else watching & reading this comment, people u can not go wrong with this little grill, as small as it is or it made seeing it does the job for a very affordable price, I was about to buy the one the costs about $129.00 @ Walmart, which I am so glad that I didn't once I got this little but amazing Gigant gas portable grill, it won't disappoint u, so let's jus be realistic for the price believe it is worth every dollar. Gas wise is also a plus small gas containers making even easier to carry or transport @ any place or park of ur choice without breaking ur wallet so I give it a 5👍👍👍👍👍

    Best $40 you can spend on a portable gas grill. I bought one for my sister in-law and I wish I would have kept it. Lol! We use it every year and it is really good. But we opted for the non deluxe version as the ignition system generally sucks. But this thing is amazing. I may order another just as a backup for my Weber Go Anywhere gas grill.

    Nice review. I just bought the same one and would have bought the weber like you mentioned. God why did they have to use that crappy grill top. I thought it would be impossible to clean but heres a thought you could buy the weber and use the charbroil grill top if it fits. Would probably be a total waste of money though.

    These types of grills absolutely suck straight off the factory. They are also amazing when you figure out how to adjust the regulator. If you pull the sticker off the plastic knob you find a Phillips head screw in there. Adjust to your liking. Beware if you turn it up all the way..

    I've had one of these for 4 years now. It goes camping with me. We had a problem with flare ups this weekend. When it does flare up, you have to shut off the propane. I'm thinking about switching to a portable charcoal grill. First though, I'm going to clean it. Maybe I'll look into a different propane tabletop grill.

    • @tomwadek
      @tomwadek  3 роки тому +1

      I love charcoal to be honest. You can close all the vents and lid to smother flare up quickly. The Weber go anywhere charcoal can’t be beat

    • @jimb6554
      @jimb6554 2 роки тому

      Update: From those of you with this problem. Attach the electrode wire ie the one with the narrow end onto the electrode ie the narrow metal rod protruding from the white cylinder by pushing it over the electrode like a knife into its sheave. Then take the ground wire ie the one with loop on the end & one option is to loosen the closest screw of the handle in bottom & thread the screw through the loop & reattach the screw tightly. This will “ground” the ground wire so if there is unwanted electrical contact with the grill, the electric will be diverted to the ground wire instead of ruining the igniter & useful electrode wire. The ground wire will take the hit & the spark will surge through it & end up wherever it touches which will hopefully be nowhere harmful. You could have it touch anywhere that you think will not affect the electrode.
