We have the round Magma and am happy. It does get hot but we seem to be able to adjust it fine.
They are prone to spider webs.
We store it in its bag in a locker under the dinette.
I mounted a base on the splash well so that I canturn it back so any grease drips into the splah well.

I always use Kingsford Match Light charcoal on the water, and I have found that it lights very easily and quickly with no odors. If there is a problem for me, sometimes I put in too many briquettes. Granted there are only two of us aboard so it is only two burgers or two steaks etc. We do use it just for grilling. On the 22 we had a Wallas stove to cook the other items, and now on the 16 we take a Coleman gas stove which fits nicely along with many other items under the bunk. The Match Light retains its starter fluid for a long time so it stores well on the boat. We let it burn out and the dump the ashes overboard. I do carry a pair of gloves to keep my hands clean. We have used it both on the hook and tied up at the dock and never had a problem with it. The grill was very handy on the 22 because if it was hot we never started the Wallas and kept the heat out of the cabin. Bob Austin is right in saying you should go with whatever you are most comfortable with.
Regards
Jack

Jack-
If you're talking about the post two spaces above, yes, I read it.
Thanks!
It answered all of the questions I asked about your uses, so I should have thanked you for your responses.
You're absolutely right, each of us has to choose what we are comfortable with in the end.
Thanks, again!
Good Boating!
Joe.
