Chiming in late here, Foster, but please let me reiterate the recommendation for the GoAnywhere Charcoal with upgraded Craycort cast grates.
I purchased my first travel grill over 30 years ago and have been through:
Smokey Joe with vents on the bottom - original size (wooden handles)
Smokey Joe with snap shut lid - original size (wooden handles)
Go Anywhere charcoal - MIA (wooden handles)
Go Anywhere charcoal - replaced the above unit (wooden handles)
Go Anywhere gas (wooden handles)
Q 120 (had this one for a very long time before getting back on charcoal)
I do a lot of jeeping and car camping and some grilling at the park with the portable grills. My portables tend to get bounced around and abused. I also cook for a family of 5 but usually run the jeep trails solo. I also tend to use the portable grills around the house when i am feeling too lazy to fire up the Performer. Tonight was an example. The performer and the WSM had their covers on and it was rainy today so i used the GAC with craycort grates.
Lugging that q120 around was a complete pain. It just cooked to darned well. Glad I am back on a GAC with the grates. I can also stow everything inside compactly, including some charcoal, fire starters, the fire starters and a small weber charcoal chimney.
Here in California, you are not allowed to burn charcoal while out on the sand (coast lines) even though a lot of people do it and right in front of the po po's lind eyes (saw this in Santa Cruz). Still, though, i would like to have a GAG so i can bring it to the beach. The craycort grates are a little different for the gas model in that they have more metal directly above the burner and i think might work well with the newer GAG that no longer have the
flavorizer shield on the bottom.
I don't see myself going back to a Q for travel unless i could leave it at a cabin or something.
