MODERN BARBEQUES MAKE ONBOARD GRILLING SAFE AND RELIABLE
It's no secret that hot barbeque coals and fiberglass don't mix. But thanks to
the efforts of two young California sailors, onboard barbequing is just as safe
and tasty as grilling on the deck at home.
In 1976, Jim and Jerry Mashburn loved to barbeque on their sailboat. However,
attempts to cook with a barbeque grill mounted on the stern of their sailboat
proved unsuccessful. In the harsh marine environment, the grills would rust
quickly, rendering them completely unusable. Obviously, the porcelain-coated
steel grills available in the mid-1970s were not up to the task, and stainless
steel was considered too expensive for standard grill production.
Recognizing that better materials were needed, they set to work to design a
stainless steel grill that would withstand the saltwater environment. Soon a new
grill was constructed that met their requirements, and the decision was made to
offer their new "Marine Kettle" charcoal grill for sale.
Over 30 years later, the Mashburn's Magma Grills can be seen on sailboats in
marinas worldwide. The original "Marine Kettle" is still available along with
several other models with modern grilling features.
Magma has created a large assortment of mounting options and grilling
accessories to accommodate any boat. Magma also created a full line of portable
tables for food preparation and serving.
