My dear lurking reader:

I am not certain the type or size of your boat. However, I want you to
consider very seriously about having a "Bar-B-Q" bolted to a 1" rail
on your boat. They look wonderful in thoes glossy WM pages. Everyone
smiling, laughing with an expensive glass of wine in one hand all cozy
in the cockpit of a sailboat. Ask a fire fighter why thoes things are
a hazard. Or you could ask my friend Mark. He had one. Could not get
his propane tank one filled one weekend so he used one of those qt.
spin-on cans. He cooked away and ran out of gas. Screwed the empty one
off but the valve stuck open spraying the gass everywhere. An ignition
source did the rest. Poof!. Mark was left with 10% third degree burns
to face-neck-chest.

I have two other boat grill stories if you want. neiter as serious
but...... close! Think buring kids......

Flames on boats................ Bad!

You want to burn a bird or some beef. Do it on the dock or the beech.
Flames on boat bad!

Bob ,, I've had a grill on two other boats and had no problems. Not propane
though. Charcoal grill that swung out over the water.

Do you think the charcoal grills are safer? I have one on my sailboat and
when I use it, I swing it out away from the hull.

Are you saying that "any" grill is dangerous, or is it the propane that is
the danger?
