Found this at Lowes


It costs $58 in my local store!

Of course, the brackets from WM cost $80!

Now, where should I install it?

Looks like something you could put in the dink and take to the beach with you.

I wus thinking of mouting it on the rail behind the helm. Our Magma Kettle (decrepid) is normally mounted on the mid rail port side. But it's ready for the graveyard.
This grill is only about 20" wide, 12" deep and 10 inches tall, and it uses the 1lb propane cylinders (bonus as we have a load of them!)

Yes, it will double as a patio grill.

Paul,
We have the exact same grill, and over the weekend we decided it was simply too big and in the way. We're looking at the smaller round ones now, like the Magma 14". It's so heavy it kept threatening to overwhelm it's mount (a "grill buddy" or something similar, can't find a link). I had it mounted inboard over the fuel storage locker, which turned out to be fortuitous, I was able to shore it up with my tiller extension so it wouldn't fall into the cockpit with all our BBQ chicken.

We have decided to consign it to our front porch for inclement weather grilling. It's a good grill, but simply too big & cumbersome for the boat. Also the tray along the bottom leaks if you set it down with the handle in the "up" position as you normally would. If you set it down in the position it's shown in the photo you're OK, as long as there's not too much grease to deal with, AND the grease trap is slid all the way back against it's seat. It tends to wander from there and leak anyway. We had to clean chicken grease off our carpet, footwell, and cushions yesterday, Rita was NOT happy.

On the plus side, it's not a bad grill, especially for the price (we paid nearly $100 for ours at a local store similar to a Target or Walmart). It's perfect for car camping or picnicking, etc., but too much for the boat.

I have my Dickinson Sea-B-Q mounted on the starboard, forwardmost part of the push-pit rail. It came with a slide in-out mount, making it easy to remove and stow. When not in use, the Sea-B-Q fits nicely between the port settee and the swing keel housing. Very fast and easy to mount and in general usage.
We looked at other BBQs - but bought this one for about $140 because it came with the mount. We often take it ashore. It is as good as my backyard BBQ in terms of heat distribution and other features.

One of our favorite past-times is gunkholing and having a well prepared BBQ meal. I've yet to see a BBQ on a boat that out-performs the Sea-B-Q.
