Weber Propane Gas Go Anywhere Portable Grill Model# 1520

When you want to hit the beach with a dependable gas grill, you want something that you can carry in one hand and doesn't weigh a whole lot. The Weber Go Anywhere weighs in at 14 pounds and folds up into a tool box shape that makes it one of the most portable and popular little gas grills on the market. These days there are a lot of sophisticated portable gas grills on the market, including several from Weber, but this classic is simple, dependable, and capable of grilling up a few steaks, burgers, or hot dogs on the beach or in the park.

In recent years a lot of portable gas grills have hit the market. Many of these offer a wide range of options, heavy cast aluminum bodies, and an emphasis on appearance. This little metal box, on the other hand, is simple, lightweight and easy to use. It might not look attractive but for years this has been on the the most popular and dependable portable gas grills on the market. It isn't fancy and it won't give you a wide range or versatility, but if you are looking for a 14-pound portable to take where ever this is definitely one worth considering.

As far as basic goes, this is about as simple a gas grill as you can make. The single, straight, tubular burner pumps out 10,000 BTUs from a disposable 1-pound propane bottle. The porcelain enameled "flavorizer" heat tent spreads out the heat under the lightweight steel wire cooking grate. Yes, not sophisticated, and at around $70USD this isn't the cheapest portable on the market, but it is reliable (almost) and durable. If you are a heavy griller who likes to hit the road you will be happy to buy another on of these in 5 years or so.

Okay, I said almost above. The ignitor is a basic push button piezoelectric unit that can fail after time, leaving you to use a match to light the burner. Not a problem if you are not expecting perfection.

This is a perfect little portable for tailgating or the college kid who wants a grill.
