Thanks Jeff and Scotty,
I actually have the Magma I bought for my Starwind, so I will use a rail
grill. I like the idea of the pvc tank storage too.
I'm thinking I wouldn't use an oven below (like Scotty) but would make
mostly coffee and soup type meals. We typically don't eat too fancy even at
home. I'm considering a small microwave since the boat has the AC inverter.
Maybe with that and the grill, it'd be enough.

Scout-
I was going to suggest the same thing. We used our old BBQ a lot, and
this year I got the Magma II. Its a major improvement, with the hinged
lid and lighter. Also, it never once blew out. In fact, it was flawless.

The old one was plumbed to the main propane, but I didn't bother with this
so far - it too easy to just use the small bottles.

The stove below does get used; since we sort of move on board for the
summer, and always stay at anchor, so its hard to do a quick b'fast run.
Coffee, eggs, & toast down below in the morning, but dinner is on the BBQ.

BTW, I don't mind having the propane on board - our tank locker is in the
stern, well ventilated, and the solenoid is always turned off immediately.
However, if we had simpler needs, I might consider the Origo.

Hey Scout, sure was nice out this week. Do you have, or
plan to get a BBQ? Like a rail mount Force 10, or Magma for
the stern rail? I have a propane one and do about 90% of my
cooking on it. Highly recommend getting one.
I have a CNG, 2 burner stove and oven. Never used the oven.
Mostly use the stove for coffee, occasional cooked breakfast
or a bowl of soup at night. I carry a one burner Coleman
propane stove just in case I run out of CNG on a trip.
I store the bottles in the cabin. My slip neighbor mounted a
PVC pipe with glued bottom cap and loose top cap on his
stern rail and it holds two bottles.
