Stern grilling .... which style grill?

[r.w.landau]

Most likely it is insurance companies

that are dictating the ban. after a few of the boats RAD mentioned burned. All it takes is one for the insurance companies to change policy.wild guess!r.w.landau

Back in the eightys

It was tough if you had a floating lumber yard cause the marinas were left with lots of them in need of repair and figured out that the easy way to get rid of them was to burn them and I'm sure there were the one's that burned them for the insurance.

If you ever want to burn a boat, the most

innocent way is to rub down all of the wood work with cotton rags and linseed oil and put all of the rags in a pile and go away for lunch. Those oil soaked rags will always catch fire all by themselves and you just have to claim stupidity.

Dickenson Sea-B-Que

Anyone who tells you his force 10 lasted 10 years is simply not grilling enough steak. In nine years as a carniverous year-round liveaboard, I've burned out two force 10s and a magma. We probably use the grill 250 times each year, of course. A couple years ago I paid the extra for a Dickenson, and it's absolutely amazing. Stays lit in winds that the other grills were never able to handle, and still functions as well as the day we bought it.Got a couple steaks on the grill right now, as a matter of fact.

Magma on the deck and the boat

I like the Magma well enough that I mounted one on the deck at the house!

I am on your wavelenght - great post!

 

[r.w.landau]

John, so which one is it?

They have quite a few from simple to whoa...How were the steaks?thanksr.w.landau

 

[RAD]

John thanks for the link

Looks like a nice product and I can compare it to MagmaBTW Ross I remember a painter who reduced a 30 yard dumpster to 2 yards of ashes cause he threw all his rags in the dupmster on a Friday night and when we showed up Monday we saw what had happened, good thing it wasn't close to the house or 18 months and millions of $ *yks would of went up in smoke cause of stupidity.

When I was in high school we moved into

a brand new school with all new work benches in the machine shop. Nice maple tops and we had to rub linseed oil into the wood. Come lunch time we just threw the rags into a corner and left our instructor eating his lunch at his desk. When we got back the rags had charred places on them and had been kicked out onto a clear space and were laying in a big puddle of water. The instructor had known what would happen and allowed us to pile the rags for a good practical lesson in shop safety.

Whoa - make that $89!!

Looks like Lowe's has Rodger's grill on sale!

 

[RAD]

Ya know

I just told a friend of mine that he should get one of those 99.00 grills from Loew's for his home not even thinking about the boat. Its worth looking into and put the savings towards a new autopilot.

Phil! The lightbulb just went on...

for a change How about a forum dedicated to food and drink recipes?? Dumb idea, or no?

SailJunkie

It's a bad idea...food and drink have nothing to do with sailing! NOT!I think that a forum that id dedicated to food and drink would get a heluva lot of activity. I know my wife would love it!Jack Mannings/v Victim of FateAtlantic City, NJ

Lowes Grill

I have the Lowes grill, and use it on my deck, its prime deficiency is that you cannot adjust the flame low enough. Even on the lowest setting it is too hot, everything cooks fast, with lots of flaring. It also would be hard to light with any wind.

r.w.,

you asked which grill, and the answer is "the small one." it's kinda like when people ask how many people my 46' sloop sleeps: the answer is always "two."our grill stays on the rail 24/7/365, and averages about 1,500 nm per year. It's only attached to a 2.5 gallon propane tank, and it would take too much fuel to have to heat the big grill up every night. And, on a cruising boat, pushpit space is at a premium, what with the outboard, the davits, the lifesling, the fenders and everything else that takes up space back there. So we keep it small, and when a party breaks out half the time we toss our steaks on somebody else's grill. In every anchorage there's a boat with half our displacement that has a grill twice our size. To make it fair, we always bring along a bottle of ol' purplelip when we board that vessel.
