Magma original grill grease trap

[dave_and_dd]

Hey - recently got a Magma original round grill and mounted on the stern rail. So far works great- yes the regulator is a bit hot, but cooking on the lowest setting has been ok. Only problem is the grease pan underneath now spills all over my walk through stern. I don't know what i was thinking was going to happen with all the drippings mounting it over a portion of the boat.

Searching the forums I see folks complaining about the heat and some mention of the drippings, but don't see any people's solutions.

What do you do? do you wash out the grease each use? Do you find you have to loosen up the mount to be able to get it all out?

Was thinking of drilling a hole in the grease pan and hanging a can below.
any other thoughts?
Thanks - Dave and DD

Any other place to mount the grill?
Of course, you'd be swapping some ease of use for less spillage on the boat.

Hey there ...guy. Might end up having to do that. I could mount it on the side. It would drip into the water...except when heeling the other way will still likely drip some onto the boat. But you are right that it is currently really convenient. I remove the helm seat and walk through the transom and are standing at the grill in a perfect place for cooking.

I had been thinking about a drain pipe in the pan. Trying to figure out how to thread a soda bottle or such to the nipple. Anybody know the thread size of a screw cap? Or a copper pipe long enough to drain beyond the swim platform?

My grill hangs overboard but I cook chicken with foil down. Not to greasy. Better that grease is on your deck then in your arteries.

Not an elegant solution but blue dawn dish liquid and scrub it off. Has to be a better way
