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?
Mike.

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.

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.
