It's time to retire my go-anywhere gas that I have been using since 2000, I use it mainly on trips where using charcoal may be frowned upon like dry weather conditions and some tailgating at football games / car trips where I don't want to wait for the fire to die out. I have been checking out the q1200 and it looks interesting, it's slightly bigger than the go anywhere but wondered if the q1200 is an overall better grill or would it be a hassle to use as a portable? I looked at one at home depot but was not able to lift it as it was tethered down. The q design looks like it may distribute heat more evenly and I like the CI grates.
