I have a Weber Smokey Joe, which is excellent but due to it's shape isn't easy to pack and takes up too much room. I'd like a Weber Go Anywhere, but they are unavailable now. I happened to notice these two in Tesco this week. The suitcase one at £12.50 and the notebook one at £7.50. Has anyone tried either of these. I quite liked the suitcase one and even if it only lasted a couple of years it wouldn't be the end of the world at that price. They also had Cadac gas bbq for £30.00.

Another vote for the suitcase bbq (outs is from Dyas).  You can transport a bag of the instant light charcol inside, when packed in car to save space and the warming rack is just brill to keep stuff ready to eat warm.  Can't see this bbq being any good to use as a firepit after cooking though because of the warming rack and lid - that is my only downside.

Just spotted this alternative to the go anywhere which has been discontinued -

looks like a weber go anywhere copy, slightly larger, I think, and much cheaper!

Well I was away camping this weekend and happened to pop in to Norwich Camping and Leisure. They had one Weber Go Anywhere on the shelf. I asked how much to the Sales Assistant, who couldn't find a boxed on anywhere. The Manager then came over and explained that it has been discontinued, but I could have the display one for £39.99. I snapped it up as it was just like new - it's only been sitting on display! Apparently, new legislation means that a heat guard needs to be fitted under the handle on the lid, so Weber can no longer sell the Go Anywhere in its current design.

We had to try it out that afternoon...put my daughter to good use!
