Cooking On Your Go-Anywhere; The Direct Cooking Method - Weber Go-Anywhere Handbook

Cooking on your Go-Anywhere™

The Weber Go-Anywhere is a great way to
take the lavour of charcoal cooking with
you, anywhere you go. It may be a little
different to some other barbecues you've
used before, so we suggest that you follow
the cooking instructions below to get the
best results. Using the Weber direct cooking
method, you'll be able to barbecue lat cuts
like steaks, chops, sausages and chicken with
beautiful lavour, whether you're at home or
out and about.
Why should I barbecue with the lid down?
This is one of the greatest things about
your Weber Go-Anywhere. It's actually
been speciically designed to be used with
the lid down. Over the last 60 years, Weber
has perfected lid down cooking to create
incredible lavours and memorable meals.
Whatever you're barbecuing, by cooking
with the lid down, you will create an amazing
barbecue lavour that you just can't get by
cooking with the lid open. The lavour comes
from the barbecue smoke that is trapped
under the lid. It circulates around your food,
giving it a wonderful barbecue lavour.

The Direct Cooking Method

The direct cooking method is all about
cooking your food directly above the heat
source. In the case of your Go-Anywhere,
that's the lit charcoal or briquettes. For the
best cooking results when using the direct
method, we recommend that you turn your
food once, halfway through the cooking time.
The direct cooking method can be used for
grilling steaks, chicken, burgers and skewers
directly on the cooking grill above the ire.
Food containing a lot of fat, like lamb chops
or fatty sausages, should not be cooked
directly on the grill unless much of the fat has
been removed. Fat dripping from fatty food
can cause excessive smoking, grease build
up inside the barbecue or lare ups. Fatty
food can be cooked using a cast iron hotplate
placed on the cooking grill directly above the
ire. Eggs, onion rings, pancakes and bacon
should also be cooked on a hotplate using the
direct cooking method.
To prepare your Go-Anywhere for direct cooking:
1. Open the top and bottom vents on the
barbecue, and remove the lid.
2. Remove the cooking grill (top grill).
Lighting the direct ire:
1. Place three irelighters on the charcoal grill
(bottom grill).
2. Light the irelighters with a match or lighter
and, using a pair of tongs and heatproof
gloves, add the required number of Weber
Barbecue Briquettes. Approximately 20
briquettes is a good guide. Cover the lit
irelighters with the briquettes forming a
rough pyramid shape. Make sure that all
of the irelighters are burning well before
leaving the barbecue.
