Just became a Catalina 250 owner and wanted to ask for a grill for Christmas.

I'd love to hear what y'all think is the best grill and best location for it on the boat (probably back rail above tiller).

Magma sells ‘em.
Gas or charcoal?
The Magma Original Kettle is good for 2-3 people, or about as many that can comfortably fit aboard a 25 ft sailboat.
Black Friday sale on their website, about $175. I’d imagine the retailers (West, Defender, Boats) might offer a similar price, possibly with free shipping???

There may be alternatives used for RV’s, camping, or off grid living. While I love my Magma grill for the boat, I bought a portable, one-burner picnic grill that burns propane from Tractor Supply for camping trips.

Of course marine items are generally 50% more costly because they are designed with stainless steel and corrosion resistant parts.

Hello Seahunter,
What models and brands have you considered? There were some great sales last weekend.

I bought just the Magma rail mount for half of what the kettle grill costs then attached a camping gas grill to it. If your handy it's just another way to go.
