Richard,
I have worried about this also. Those single pole brackets shown holding up
a grill plus the weight of the foods being cooked just look incredibly weak.
I have yet to see anyone at the marinas around here using one.

om...
am I the only one afraid of fire on a boat. and am I being silly? I
have never understood why boats just don't blow up when grilling? Can
anyone help me?

All this talk about Magmas and Dikinson grills is making me hungry. It
is also making me wonder about the best place to mount one.

Usually I see them mounded on the side of the stern pulpit but I have
narrow side decks back there so I would have to stand in the cockpit
seat and lean over to cook. The other option is off the transom but I
have a sugar scoop stern and am worried about dripping grease on the
swim platform.

I have a boat with a fairly narrow transom that puts rail space at a
premium. I mount my Force Ten kettle (which for some reason blows out
if fully closed, but is good to about 15 knots of breeze with the lid
cracked about 1/4 inch open) more or less at the corner of the stern
pulpit. It drips a little, but only on the far edge of one side of the
transom, and has never been an issue in docking.
