The Weber GO Anywhere Gas Grill solves a specific problem Montana contractors face — feeding crews on remote job sites where full-size grills can’t go. With 6,500 BTUs from a single burner and 160 square inches of cooking surface, this portable unit delivers enough heat and space to cook lunch for a small crew while fitting in the back of any work truck.
Compact Power for Job Site Conditions
At just 13.5 pounds with dimensions of 21” x 12.2” x 14.5” when closed, the GO Anywhere takes up minimal truck space. The porcelain-enameled steel cooking grate heats evenly despite the compact footprint. Users consistently praise the leg-locking mechanism — the fold-up plated steel legs pivot to lock the lid in place, creating a secure carrying handle that won’t accidentally open during transport.
The push-button ignition starts reliably, even in windy conditions common at Montana job sites. The single stainless steel burner tube reaches cooking temperature quickly. Hot spots directly over the burner tube are the main heat distribution complaint, but rotating food during cooking compensates.

Built for Montana’s Temperature Extremes
The porcelain-enameled lid and base construction matters in Montana’s freeze-thaw cycles. Unlike bare steel that rusts through after a few seasons of temperature swings, the porcelain coating resists moisture and thermal stress. Weber backs this durability with a 10-year warranty on the cookbox and lid assembly against rust-through or burn-through.
The Flavorizer system — a porcelain-enameled distribution plate over the burner — serves double duty. It spreads heat more evenly than direct flame contact while protecting the burner from grease drips that cause flare-ups. Grease management can be messy since there’s no drip tray — grease collects in the bottom. Smart contractors line the bottom with aluminum foil before each use.

Fuel Flexibility Matters
The grill runs on standard 14.1 oz. or 16.4 oz. disposable LP cylinders — the same small propane bottles contractors already stock for torches and heaters. For extended cooking or base camp setups, it’s compatible with 20-pound tanks using Weber’s 3-foot or 6-foot adapter hose (part #6605).
The product description confirms it “operates on a 14.1 or 16.4 oz. disposable LP cylinder (sold separately) and can accommodate a full-size, 20 lb. fuel tank when using an adapter hose”. This flexibility means contractors aren’t hunting for special fuel cartridges.
CSA certification for US and Canada confirms safety compliance for job site use.
The Bottom Line
The Weber GO Anywhere Gas Grill earns its place in contractor trucks through practical design choices. Extremely portable construction combines with durable porcelain-enameled finish to create a tool that survives real job site abuse.
The regulator can be fragile if not protected during transport — wrap it or store it padded. The lack of a grease tray requires planning. But for contractors who need to feed a crew 30 miles from the nearest restaurant, this grill delivers hot food reliably.
Professional contractors view it as highly portable and versatile, ideal for camping, tailgating, or small outdoor spaces. Limited cooking capacity and temperature control challenges mean it won’t replace a full-size grill, but for quick meals during outdoor work, it handles the job.
