Would anyone happen to have one of these grills in decent shape they are interested in selling:

Looking for the pre 2014 model, which had the Weber Go-Anywhere Flavorizer Bar. Apparently they removed it in 2014 for whatever reason.

I work at a hardware store, I'll look for one.

It's this kinda thing

Had one. Sold it when we moved my dad a few months ago. Wish I kept it.

Thanks Amos! I'm doubtful that I can find a new one that is pre-2014 where they removed the flavoring bar thingamagiggy. You can buy the parts separately for twice the cost apparently. If you read the reviews on Amazon for the new model it's pretty bad. Hope I can find an old one. Keeping my eyes on CL as well.
Would anyone have another favorite small portable grill they love besides this one, for under 100$?
Saw someone using this one this weekend: http://www.coleman.com/product/camp-propane-grill/2000020928?contextCategory=27110#.VbmHZ_lViko
But looks like a beyotch to clean!

Hey Al,
You can get the replacement direct from Weber for about $30. They seem to have better prices for parts than most resellers. Here's your link: http://store.weber.com/parts/detail/portable/1061
I got flavorizer bars from them for my old grill and it works way better!
-
Yeah, that just may be the way to go! I like the size, easy to carry, great for quick meals without needing to start coals. With a propane bottle re-filler, it's practically free to use too!

I've had mine now for about 20 years +/- It has the flavor gizmo inside. Its my camping staple when truck camping. I like older ones, they have wooden handles.
-
The new one sure are a big downgrade. It seems pretty dumb of them to turn a nice product into a POS.

The little Weber Q is nice, but no flavorizer bars and over a hundred dollars.
-
The Weber Q is about as solid as they come for small portable gas grills.
I have one I use all the time and Zilla has one that I think is pre 1800's. :smt044

I had that exact grill and gave it to Ben last winter. Bought the Weber Q also. Love it.
-
Cmon man,..charcoal is the way to go. Cooks hotter and dryer, has better flavor and your bonfire is ready to go after dinner :smt002 :smt044.Although,if you are in a hurry, propane is daMN HANDY

I use a Weber Q100 and love it. Fits in the back of my Hobie Outback for picnics! We now have a dedicated mini-kayak with a cooler in the hold and BBQ on top!

Not sure exactly what the flavorizer bars do except to maybe spread the heat more evenly.
The design of the Q100 grill has solid metal parts that sit directly above the flame. I'm guessing this helps do the same thing.

According to Weber's web page:
"Every Weber Spirit, Genesis and Summit gas grill made today use Flavorizer Bars to direct grease and drippings away from the burner tubes, which cuts down on flare ups tremendously.
An extra benefit of Flavorizer Bars is that they help add that “cooked on a grill” flavor to your food. Drippings, marinades and juices from food being cooked fall down onto the hot Flavorizer Bars, and are vaporized and circulate back up to the food and add that great, extra flavor."

I have a big @ss Weber gas grill with the flav bars and I ain't buying into their claims.
If they did what they state they do then the bars shouldn't have the build up on them that they have.
I can see keeping the drippings off the tube burners, but it still flares up and the drippings certainly do not vaporize.
-
Agreed, I find at lower temps on my table top and larger grill, the dripping build up. They might help dissipate heat and keep the burner bars from clogging. I thought the marketing "spin" on it was kinda funny. Wishful thinking?
I have tried using a table top without one after the flavorizer (heat shield) wore out and the grill really doesnt seem to work as well.
