It's a great grill I have 2 of them. But it is not good for travel or camping unless you have an RV . It packs big and the packing shape is not ideal. I now take 2 Weber go anywhere grills when I go camping. 2 of those are less than half the packing size of the traveler. I also think the traveler needs flavorizer bars/ diffuser because of the dead space around and inner part of the burner tubes. It requires the lid to be closed more than I like when grilling. Too bad there is no after market one.
Thank you for commenting. I do think think it needs flavorizer bars, not only to spread the heat but also to protect burner tubes from clogging. I have been able to fit it in midsize SUV. It packs a lot of heat when the lid is closed, the opening and closing mechanism has been the best compared to its competitors. Hope weber or an after market personnel sees ur comment and comes up with flavorizer bars :)
@@averagetechdude1462 I can fit it in my mid sized SUV but then that means I can't fit other things like my kids lol. The traveler was one of three main things that took up too much room and added too much weight when I'm packing my suv for camping. I will say the traveler is built like a tank, the design that makes it this stable when upright is 2nd to none. If you find it too big for travel look into the Weber go anywheres. They are clutch little BBQ grills . I will always go with Weber. That's another thing it's hard to control the temp. Because the lid is so low with it closed it gets extremely hot fast and I can't get it below 350 consistently. Even on it's lowest setting. So everything I learned from previous BBQ grills I owned with 2 or more burners i have had to relearn and modified with the traveler. That's another thing it needs two burners. A good tip for indirect grilling on the traveler get the aftermarket cast iron griddle from Amazon and an warming rack to place on top of the griddle. Its a perfect set up for indirect grilling.
