The Lovely Kate Aquires A Mint 1981 @WeberGrills Go-Anywhere
Kate tells me about a Weber with wood handles that came up on her notifications.
Uhmmmm, hell yeah. She notified the seller and went and picked it up for me yesterday.
That’s when you know you’ve got a good woman.
It’s the same year she was born and two years after the first Weber Go-Anywhere was released.
@Neil_VT00 From Weber Kettle Club put together a comprehensive history of the Weber Go-Anywhere which you can read here
Our C Code has shorter legs and teak handles that have the Weber logo and writing “The one. The only.”
It came with an instruction manual which I found interesting.

The Perfect Fit Cast Iron Griddle For The @WeberGrills Go-Anywhere
When I pulled this Cast Iron Griddle out of the shed to cook swordfish on the Charcoal Weber Go-Anywhere I figured that I’d probably have to drape it over the sides of the grill. Here’s a link to buy it on Amazon It’s $35 and that’s a steal for how versatile it makes your grill!
When I checked, it fit perfectly in the groove where the cooking grate would go without any need to modify it. It’s like a stock accessory. Not only that but has enough space open on the sides to allow air flow to the coals to get that cast iron piping hot for searing.
THIS MAY BE THE BEST PORTABLE CHARCOAL GRILLING SETUP EVER!!!
As you can see it fits perfectly inside the grooves where the cooking grate would sit. It doesn’t impede the lid from closing , the lid still latches on the edge of the back of the grill. I swear when they designed this griddle they had to be thinking of the Weber Go-Anywhere!
Setting Up The @WeberGrills Go-Anywhere For Deflector Plate Cooking Lamb Shanks
Trimmed the silver skin off the lamb shanks and rubbed on EVOO, minced garlic,coarse salt and pepper, rosemary and thyme.
Plan is to smoke offset the coals between 250-275 til 150 internal temp.

Picked up two lamb Shanks at East Gloucester Stop and Shop.
Trimmed the silverskin and rubbed with EVOO, coarse salt, pepper, minced garlic, rosemary and thyme overnight in the fridge.
Setup the grill for indirect smoking using the deflector plate. See video at the top for commentary.
In the video I planned to light five briquettes in a chimney and add them to the unlit coals on the opposite side of the grill from the drip pan. What I ended up doing instead was lightning a Weber starter cube in the corner instead. Within 20 minutes I had 200 degree temps and closed the back vent and left the front vent had open. I also closed the top vent over the coals and left the top vent over the lamb open.
Then placed the Shanks on the grill with the meaty part facing away from the lit coals.
After an hour and a half they had the color I wanted.
I took the Shanks off, put them in the drip tray with the juices they lost and added some beef broth and Blueberry balsamic glaze to the tray and double wrapped it in foil to braise.
Back on the grill they will go at 275 for an hour and a half or so.
When unwrapping the smell that wafted out of that foil was incredible. Placed the shanks on the cutting board and started ripping off globules of lamb love and dipping in some homemade tzaziki.
13 Bags of @ROCharcoal Should Get Me Through To The Labor Day Sales
Fourth Of July Charcoal Sales
There are three charcoal sales that you can pretty much count on year after year. Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. These sales generally produce 50% off sales and if you even grill 1/4 of the times I do, it’s worth it to stock up.
Regular prices on Kingsford are $10 for an 18.6 lb bag of charcoal which comes to .537 cents per lb.
For comparisons sake I’ll do the math for you.
Home Depot Kingsford Sale 2×18.6= 37.2lbs $9.88 divided by 37.2lbs=.265 cents per lb
Lowes Royal Oak Briquettes Sale $4 divided 15.4lbs= .259 cents per lb
Lowes Kingsford Sale Same as HD- 2×18.6= 37.2lbs $9.88 divided by 37.2lbs=.265 cents per lb
Also there are $15 off of $50 coupons out there on the internet for Lowes, so if you get that discount code and use it, you’d need to get 6 two packs. That’s $59.28-$15 coupon = $44.28 12 bags x 18.6= 223.2 lbs $44.28 divided by 223.28= .198 cents per lb
