My boat came with the charcoal Magma. I got a propane grill for free which
used the same mount. I only hung the lid on the side to light it, then cook
with the lid on. I will have to do more research and post the results later.
I have an old Coleman 2 burner on board, for back up. When it's hot, I'll
use it in the cockpit so as not to heat up the cabin.

Scott,
I responded to an email from sailnet to buy the grill. I didn't see any
mention of additional purchases necessary in the email. When it arrived,
I
called the 800 number and the phone rep apologized but said Sailnet should
have, but did not, include that info. Not a big deal $$ wise, (another $50
for mounts) but it's the annoyance of ordering, receiving, etc.

Yes, the lid did hang on the side, and gave some protection, but still
wasn't enough to keep the flame from blowing out. I had to relight about
20
times for one meal. Not to mention the fact that I often like to cook
with
the lid on top to get higher internal (oven-like) temps.

Previously, I was using a Coleman single LP burner, about $15 at Walmart.
It's cheap, never blows out, gives plenty of heat when needed, but tends
to
be unstable (sits on the propane bottle). I'm actually considering making
a
hybrid, tearing out the Magma guts and adapting the Coleman to fit inside
the Magma system. Should be easy.

Where did you buy it?
Doesn't your lid hang on the side of the grill to block the wind?
