Default Grills

I just replaced my Dickenson with another after an unfortunate collison with
a piling.

Fawcetts in Annapolis has the large unit for $200.
This time I bought their railmount kit. It makes grill removable so you can
stow it below. ;-)

Well, Magma sux.

We went to get our grill today, and two successive lid latches fell
apart on
exercising them. Back to the drawing board.

I think this was the forum where insanely expensive (list about a
boatbuck),
but worth-every-penny, grills were discussed a while ago.

Dickenson has shown up on our radar frequently as being the stay-lit
and
hell-for-stout kings; they're only marginally more expensive than the
Magma
model we were expecting to make our new outdoor cooking. They're also
bigger
plate area but notably less BTU, which will make for longer cooking
times,
and don't have a warming rack in the same approximate size as the
Magma, one
of the attractions of that grill.

So, who's had (for some extended period) either or both of those
(Dickenson
and whatever the really expensive one is)? And, I know the expensive
one
sells at shows at some outrageously discounted price (which becomes the

norm, unless you have no other choice,of course) - does anyone know if
Dickenson sells at shows, or has dealers? We now expect (Lydia sez
Ptooey!
cuz she wanted to be gone two years ago) to be here for the Strictly
Sail
show in St. Pete - perhaps that's an opportunity?

Thanks.

"And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a
clear
night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize that you
are
quite alone on a great, wide sea, it is apt to occur to you that in the
general scheme of things you are merely an insignificant speck on the
surface of the ocean; and are not nearly so important or as
self-sufficient
as you thought you were. Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought,
and one
that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be
greatly
appreciated by your friends."- James S. Pitkin
