Life aboard is living large, in a small space. Every boat owner has found ways to make life in that small space easier, more comfortable, more convenient. The idea behind this site is to provide a place where these ideas can be shared amongst the boating community. To participate, send your contribution to SmallBoatProjects at gmail dot com.

Better burgers and brats
Look what my lovely wife gave me for my birthday! A new Dickenson SeaBQ!
This replaces our old Magma grill... actually, our second Magma grill - we used up the one that came with the boat. The "new" Magma was shot (again) and was going to need a transfusion of expensive parts.
To make the SeaBQ even easier to use, I plumbed it directly into the low pressure side of our propane system. We already have those two 20 lb propane tanks - why would we want to fool around with the small disposable cylinders?
Great little BBQ. We abused one of those for ten years on our boat and held up very well. Be careful not to run it too hot, or the burner can deform a bit. The low regulator setting was hot enough for just about everything we cooked.
ReplyDeleterobert: Thanks for the tip! I haven't even heated it up yet...
ReplyDeletewhat are them dimensions - it looks pretty hefty!
ReplyDeletesaildave: not including the propane hookup, it is 24" x 12" x 12".
ReplyDeleteI cooked on it in 20 kt of wind... it didn't blow out!
