Hi all,

I'm looking for a grill for my boat, and have been actively asking
around for months.  Everyone seems to dislike at least a couple of
things about their grills -

1.  They are hard to keep lit in the wind
2.  The lid isn't hinged (early Magmas)
3.  Not big enough
4.  They have hot spots and cold spots - doesn't cook evenly
5.  Expensive as hell

Does anyone have a grill that doesn't have these problems??

If I could solve 1 through 4, I'd be willing to ignore number 5.
Maybe.

Or, it would also be helpful to many I think to compile a list of
manufacturers, so that a good competitive market could be established.
Magma needs to come down on their prices.

Who else sells quality stainless LPG boat grills?

There are several. Unfortunately I can't think of the brand off the
top of my head. Hinged lid, big, 3 burners... They run about $500.

I have used Magmas, Force 10's, and Dickinson SeaBQ's.  My favorite is
the latter.  A chandlery owner that I know swears by the Gourmet
series from Magma.

To keep hot spots to a minimum, keep the unit as horizontal as
possible.

Force 10 the best

I don't know if they're the best, but we've been having great luck with ours.

In my experience:
-hot and cool spots
-blows out easily in wind, unless, you put foil over the vents
-small surface

Love the Force 10 stoves.

We have had the same Magma charcoal burning kettle for twenty years. Not
sure if that is a reccomendation but it does the job.
