I am looking for a rail mount charcoal BBQ big enough to cook 2 steaks at a time, max. Must stow in small space, perhaps foldable. Pictures of homebuilt gizmos are appreciated.
I just don't see having a big cooker, all of the time in the way, that one might use 2 or 3 times a week. I would like to be able to take it out, plop it on the rail, dump the coals overboard, and stow it away.
Any ideas or pics great appreciated. _________________ I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR - That's what makes the search so exciting! |

I use a gas round magma grill. It breaks down and stows easliy. Mounts on several different type of holder. I use one for my rod holder to save space.
I use gas because nothing say " come swim in me" like a lake full of used charcoal. _________________ Thomas J Elliott

We have a Magma charcoal grill and have had it for a long time. It works well and also built an arm and support that allows us to use a rod holder to support the grill over the water. We use match lite charcoal for an easy start. You can find these grills, both charcoal and gas at West Marine.

I have the Magma Trailmate BBQ. One of the smallest on the market but still a good size for two people. Yes it is gas, but storing a propane bottle takes up less space than a bag of charcoal and charcoal lighter sticks or starter fluid.
I have a lot of gear stored on my boat and the 3 v-berth lockers are still almost empty.

When I lived in the Caribbean on my Morgan 33, I had a propane BBQ mounted on the stern rail. It got some use, but my favorite memories are of a campfire on the beach; a pot luck dinner, and chicken, goat, pork, or sometimes beef sizzling over a charcoal fire. I could never get the same taste from a gas grill. Personally, and it is certainly a personal choice, I prefer a charcoal grill.
I appreciate the suggestions you have given. |

check out cobb grills.
they don't mount on a rail, but they can be set virtually anywhere as the outside base doesn't get hot. only uses a few briquets.
I've been using one for a few years now, love it.

Ashley: We researched the Cobb on line and it certainly is versatile and a few briquettes go a long way. My only question is, at 12" X 13", where do you guys store the stove when not in use? |

I don't know how Ashley Lynn does it, but I'd get a nylon duffel bag, put in the grille and charcoal (wrapped in a plastic bag to be sure it stays dry), zip it up and tie it down on the roof, engine well, or cockpit if I didn't room in the cabin.
The duffel bag keeps it organized, clean(er), and moveable as a unit, both on and off the boat- for use on shore and for cleaning (dishwasher).

The cobb grill comes with a carrying case....once it cools down, put it in the case and put it just about anywhere. we usually set it under the dinette.
I got a deal on mine from West Marine for about $60....a few years ago. |

West Marine use to stock this type. They did not sell for long. Before I left for the Caribbean, I bought one and mounted it on the rail. If there was the slightest breeze, it would not work. I even tried throwing a fire cloth over it to block the wind. The only way that I could use it was to place it on the floor of the cockpit on a mount that I fabricated. I finally gave it to a native in Grenada and bought a kettle type charcoal unit. No problem there.
This was my experience. Maybe it will work for you, or maybe that is why they are so cheap. |

I went to the flea market in Houston to see what might be available. Everything I saw was to big for just the two of us. But then I saw a booth full of stainless steel cookware. $4.00 each for two SS mixing bowls. Lowes has stretched steel mesh for $10.00. I had the SS hardware from other projects. It cooks 2 steaks and stores in a 10 1/2 X 10 1/2 X 6" cubby hole. The mount was fabricated from various pieces of tubing and also holds a cutting board.
Check out my pictures. |
