Matador Radiant Move at Bunnings - Is this the Weber Go Anywhere 2.0?

I used to look at the round little Matador whenever I went into Bunnings.

This looks of similar ilk wtih more usable grill space.

Do like it,

They had a bunch of them at my local big red hammer next to some Everdure Cube's. Looked like it would be a fun unit to try. Seems to come with a little carry bag, which would be good to carry before first use, but not sure how practical it would be to pack up at the end of a long day cooking. Maybe more suitable for camping where you can pack away once it cools down vernight?

Double skin sounds good. Great to use as a Hibachi compared to the GA

You talking about the $99 kettle?

I've got it and it's brilliant.

Solid build, comes with a carry bag and the grill is nice and thick.

I've had the cheaper ones and end up throwing them out after a few cooks as they start to get weak and fall apart.

I use it on picnics all the time or when I just want to knock up a small batch of steaks for the family at dinner time.

I was eyeing off this little matador at bunnings last weekend too... Looks like a great little unit for the price. Very tempted to pick one up myself, I just need to figure out the ministerial justification first.

Yeah, the mini kettle look-a-like.

Good to hear such a positive review!

I have a Pitboss 13" which serves our needs perfectly, otherwise would grab that Matador (or this one) to fit that purpose.

Also have the Evedure Cube to fit the portable/travel department as the Pitboss is Ceramic and a bit heavy for that.

Didn't you win 5th prize in a raffle?

What's the everdure like?

Build quality still decent?

My old 4 burner is everdure and has been fantastic even after 10 years

Build quality is really good for a small portable unit.... but the design is a bit lacking.

Air flow only comes in from on top (as opposed to the Webber GA and these Matador units where you have vents below).

The unit also doesn't have a lid like, so i made one out of a square cake pan... but it's not the most ideal for portability then... Still good for open grilling.

Attention has been put on ensuring that the outside remains cool to touch / young children friendly).

Supposedly there are reports of people getting theirs too hot and it warping - haven't experienced this though.

Might have to check that out.

I've got a cube but I'm yet to fire it up. I had wondered about the airflow bit, and the lid, both things I liked the sound of with the $99 kettle.

fury got ant tips for usage of the Cube?

Buy this Matador instead as it appears more versatile

Instead of continuing the Everdure Cube discussion here in this Matador thread, I'll link to the thread where i posted my little cube smoking:

Hey hey!

Problem solved. I pointed out that something like this would make cooking xmas lunch for the family much easier.. She took the bait and decided it'd make an easy way to kill 2 birds with 1 stone (for her) by suggesting it as my xmas present.

So... before I pull the trigger (on the other half's behalf hah)... What's the verdict? This or the Weber GA?

I had a quick look on FB marketplace and saw a GA for $59.00 in Brisbane.

Check that first along with Gumtree

Personally cant go past the original but that is personal choice.

Quote from Gumb

I reckon I'd try the Matador.

I'm interested in hearing how you go. I love my GA but the extra features on these sound great. If you have GA to compare to, can you please compare the dimensions? I have some GA accessories (roti stacker) that I would want to use with it. I'm also particularly interested in how insulated it is as well.
