Weber Go-Anywhere Gas Grill: The 13.5-Pound Answer to Montana's Portable Grilling Needs

The Weber Go-Anywhere Gas Grill weighs just 13.5 pounds and folds down to 21” x 12.2” x 14.5” — small enough to toss in the truck for any Montana adventure. This porcelain-enameled steel grill delivers 6,500 BTUs across 160 square inches of cooking surface, enough heat and space to handle burgers for the crew or trout from the Kootenai.

Users love the leg-locking mechanism for carrying. Those pivoting steel legs do double duty — they lock the lid in place for transport and provide stable support when it’s time to cook. No loose parts rattling around in the truck bed.

Temperature Control and Cooking Performance

The single stainless steel burner tube pumps out 6,500 BTUs, controlled by a regulator knob that lets you dial in everything from low-heat grilling to proper searing temps. Professional contractors and outdoor workers appreciate its ability to deliver quality grilling results in a portable form factor.

The cooking surface measures 160 square inches — that’s room for 8 burgers or a mess of brats. Push-button ignition gets you cooking fast, which matters when you’re trying to feed a hungry crew before the afternoon thunderstorms roll in.

Hot spots directly over the burner tube are the main complaint from users. Move your food around the grate to manage the heat zones. Grease management can be messy since there’s no drip tray — grease collects in the bottom. Pack some aluminum drip pans if you’re grilling fatty meats.

Built Montana Tough

Porcelain-enameled steel construction on both the lid and base stands up to Montana’s weather swings. This isn’t bare steel that’ll rust after one season left in the garage. Weber backs that durability with serious warranties: 10 years on the cookbox and lid assembly against rust-through or burn-through, 5 years on burner tubes and cooking grates.

CSA certified for US and Canada means it meets safety standards for both sides of the border — useful if you’re heading up to Fernie or Waterton.

The porcelain-enameled steel cooking grate cleans easier than raw cast iron and won’t rust when it gets wet. The Flavorizer system uses a porcelain-enameled distribution plate over the burner to even out heat and add some grilled flavor to your food.

Fuel Flexibility

Standard 14.1 oz. or 16.4 oz. disposable LP cylinders thread right into the regulator — no adapters needed. Those little green bottles work fine for weekend camping trips.

For longer jobs or base camps, Weber makes 3-foot and 6-foot adapter hoses (part #6605) that let you run off a standard 20-pound propane tank. Smart move for multi-day hunting camps or construction sites where you’re feeding crews all week.

The regulator can be fragile if not protected during transport — wrap it or stow it carefully to avoid damage on rough roads.

FAQ

How hot does the Weber Go-Anywhere get? The 6,500 BTU burner provides enough heat for proper grilling, though specific temperature ranges aren’t provided in manufacturer specs. Users report it handles everything from low-heat cooking to searing.

What’s the difference between this and the charcoal version? The gas version offers more convenience and faster startup, while the charcoal model provides traditional smoky flavor. Both share the same footprint and leg-locking design.

How does it compare to Weber’s Q series? The Q series features cast-aluminum construction and cast-iron grates — heavier, more expensive, with better heat retention. The Go-Anywhere prioritizes lightweight portability and compact storage.

Can I leave it outside? The porcelain-enameled finish resists rust, and Weber warranties the cookbox and lid for 10 years against rust-through. Still makes sense to store it covered or indoors between uses.

What accessories work with it? Compatible accessories include the Go-Anywhere Carry Bag, Weber Portable Gas Grill Adapter Hose for 20 lb tanks, and small aluminum drip pans to help with the grease management issue.
