Force 10 grill from West Marine is a huge improvement over the lame Magma
units. Hinged top instead of wire and washer! Better more even cooking! Wind
baffle, easily cleaned grease catcher and a mount that is better by far than
the wet noodle magma mount. It's about as large as the Magma party size. It's
typically 179.00....on sale for 116.00 for Memorial day weekend!!!! With mount
and blue cover....about 200.00.
Oh, and it didn't discolor when fired up, like the el-cheapo Magma!

I have never understood the purpose of a cover for one of these boat
grills. All they seem to do is provide a refuge for spiders and allow
dirt and crap to accumulate between uses. I just keep mine secured
with a bungee cord and allow mother nature to help keep it clean.
Those covers are just magnets for nastiness. I do agree that the
Magmas are not exactly the pinnacle of engineering excellence, but I
make do with one.

The blue cover matches my other canvas...but otherwise I agree with you.

Get a 2' length of 4"PVC pipe. Drill some holes in a 4" cap and
solvent weld it to the bottom. Place a loose cap on top, attach it to
your stern rail and you have vented propane storage for 3 spare cans.

What's the white plastic holder below it for?
