WHERE WILL YOU GOBQ?
IDEAL FOR CAMPING AND CANOEING
IDEAL FOR CAMPING AND CANOEINGParking lots have LOUSY ambiance. Why be constrained to grilling steps from your vehicle? Now you can truly grill away from it all and enjoy fresh hot grilled food anywhere your heart and appetite desires. The possibilities are endless!
No other camping grill can match the GoBQ for its combined versatility and portability. Most are just fancy grates with legs and NO LID. The GoBQ case unfolds and becomes the lid so you can control the heat, keep in the smoke, and keep OUT the rain and cold!
PERFECT FOR THE BEACH
PERFECT FOR THE BEACHIf you already live in paradise, then you probably want to grill your meal in peace and tranquility as far away as you can from those annoying tourists. If you ARE an annoying tourist, follow that local who’s trying to get away from you and chances are you’ll find an amazing spot with a spectacular view.
Either way, dragging a heavy clunky grill through sand sucks, so bring your GoBQ, some kabobs, a 6-pack of Corona, and enjoy life.
GREAT FOR TAILGATING
GREAT FOR TAILGATINGWho needs a car? Skip the hassle (and expense) of finding parking, and stake your claim wherever you want. Whether you’re a student biking across campus, an urban commuter taking public transportation, or you’re traveling to a bowl game (PS: LUCKY YOU!), the GoBQ is the perfect portable grill.
If you do have wheels but value cargo space, then this is a dream come true. Driving a Fusion instead of an F-150? The GoBQ folds down to 17% of its volume, which leaves you more room to pack other essentials like beer, and food, and chairs… and beer!
GoBQ Features
ULTRA COMPACT
Folds down to 17% of it’s volume, unfolds to become a complete grilling system WITH a lid.
All those other so-called “portable” grills sacrifice functionality or portability. Either they're too heavy and bulky, or they’re too small and rickety, or they're missing a lid. The GoBQ is the best of both worlds.
TSA FRIENDLY
Ever heard of a carry-on grill? Bring your favorite grilling buddy along on vacations, away games, business trips, or fleeing the country to escape federal prosecution!
CUSTOM MOLDED HANDLES
The side and top handles are made from custom molded heat resistant glass reinforced nylon. The ergonomic design provides easy handling, and special holes added to hang GoBQ portable grilling tools (which are in development!).
FLAME/HEAT RESISTANT FABRIC
The base and lid structure is made from durable yet flexible silicone-coated fiberglass fabric, which can withstand very high temperatures. This type of fabric is already used in the food and restaurant industry for oven conveyor belts and grilling mats, so it's safe for cooking.
The fabric also cools down much faster than metal, is water resistant, and easy to clean. After you dump the coals and ash, you can pack it up and quickly be on your way.
PLATED STEEL CHARCOAL BASKET
The high tech design of the plated steel charcoal basket elevates the coals above the side vents for excellent air flow. It folds open and closed while attached to the base so no tools are required, the GoBQ is ready to go right our of the box.
Vent holes in the base and lid provide ample air flow to keep the fire hot. Bottom vents are positioned on the sides so embers and ash don't spill out of the grill while cooking.
STURDY GRATE RESTS
Grate rest brackets keep the grilling grate in position within the base so it doesn't slide around while you’re flipping burgers.
