I've seen lots of gas grills mounted on pontoons, but it seems nobody
knows where they came from. Not saying that they aren't, but I've
looked around the 'net and didn't see anything that was pedestal

I had one of those $30 portable gas grilles on my boat for a few years
when we were picnicking out at the beach. I had 2 pieces of 1/2" EMT
(thin wall conduit) with 90s bent into it screwed into the bottom to
hold the thing up and it dropped into PVC pipes fastened outboard of
the rail so the cooker was over the water.
That way grease and flaming stuff was not landing on the rug.
I know this is store bought, but something like this?

Yup, that is the basic idea, I just did it with stuff I had in the
garage, pretty much as a spur of the moment idea.
Looks like a winner to me. I think I'll go for it.


Thanks!


The idea occurred to me as I followed this thread that this would be
excellent for the patio at my folks second level apartment. They have
no yard as of to say, and little space for an actual grill. This has
given me ideas for a banister mount. My father prefers to use gas as
well, so I believe this will serve nicely.


Cheers.


Bad idea. *It's one thing to hang a grill over water, but if there's a
chance of anybody being under it, forget it.
Even standard tripod Webers are dangerous when there's toddlers around.

Jim - Once barely caught a toddler who was about to pull a hot Weber
full of glowing coals onto himself. *Remember - stuff happens.- Hide quoted text -

If I was gonna mount one like what Greg suggested, there would be no
question about safety. No swimming on the cooking side. besides, this
will actually be more of a relief station for the nephews/nieces who
are out skiing/tubing with other boats.
