Several months ago I posted a thread on stove-top ovens and stove-top grills. I use these two items about 98% of time on my boat Trinkka, and I recommend them highly for cooking on a small boat. However, care should be taken when cooking greasy meats like hamburgers on a stove-top grill. The greases can cause a flare up. It's probably a good idea to always have a damp rag on hand to throw over a flare up from a boat stove anyway, just to be on the safe side. I understand that a lot people use outside rail mounted barbecue grills and they favor them over other grills. I think that if I owned a larger boat, I'd probably have one too, but I've cooked steak, hot dogs, chourico, linguica, and pre-cooked hamburgers in the cabin of my boat, on my stove-top grill with no problems. I just wanted to bring this up so that you are aware of the hazards of cooking greasy meats on these type of grills. Have a great boating season!

I can broil meat in my force 10 galley stove so the only time I use a grill is when I want to keep the heat and mess outside. You can set a pan of bacon on fire if you don't pay attention. Cooking is a full time and attention job. If you are called away for any reason shut the fire off!

Joe, you don't need to get a larger boat to put a grill on a rail. A lot of 22' to 25' boats at my marina use them. I have a Force 10 I've used on my h23.
And yes, things do taste better grilled on a boat.

I have both as in your photo with that grill on the galley burner.
I also use my Magma on the out side rail, each works great for cooking,depends on the weather which I use both are great for cooking on any size boat.

Nick,
I brought this subject up because I knew that there would be some sailors out there like you who had read my thread a few months ago, and decided to purchase one of these grills. I could mount a Magna grill on my stern rail too, but as I pointed out, my boat is small and storage space is limited on it. I have too many favorite and necessary items on board that have more priority over rail mounted grills. I just wanted to remind everyone of the hazards of grills and ovens. It's very true, that you need to always keep a vigilant eye on the stove while it's going and never leave it unattended. The stove-top oven for instance, puts out tremendous heat. One dangerous scenario could be a stiff breeze blowing into the cabin and a piece of paper or any flammable item coming in contact with the hot oven. This is something that we would probably never consciously contemplate. Who da' thunk it? :doh: I just want everyone to have a safe, fun boating season.:dance:
Ahoy!

Joe, we plan to keep the little Force 10 on the rail. When West Marine dicontinued the Force 10 line we bought all of the little accessory items, including the neat little cover for it.! I use the little propane bottles and have the carrier for them that hangs on a rail.
I have a Homestrand 2 burner alcohol stove in the galley.
And thanks for pointing out some of the safety issues with cooking on the boat. We all need to be reminded of them from time to time.
Jack
