Re: gas grill on a boat?

Thanks bhammer ! I didn't know these tings existed. They are called EZ Fill coupler or Maccoupler. I just bought one on Ebay can't wait to try it.

You are welcome. Beats the heck out of buying the new canister each time or trying to find a place to fill them. Happy cooking.

I also use the $19 Walmart grill. Only have to carry one small bottle of propane. Packs up nice for storage. It's not stainless, I'll have to spend another $20 when it wears out. Going on Season 3.

It will work much better if you freeze the bottles before trying to fill them.Kinda sucks the gas in.

I've read on the 2 pound bottles that they're illegal to transport if refilled... true or not?

How can you not have a grill on your boat!!!!! I went somewhere in between the $19 walmart and the Magna, I use a 99 Lowes Stainless Steel portable. It is not on its second boat, 5th season. Still looks like the first season. I woud say looks like new, but it does get a lot of use.

I have a mount the goes on my swim platform. The only reason it is there, was that how the previos owner did his grill, I just adapted my mount to it. Some day I will adapt it to mount on the gunnel.

As for refilling the cylinders. Yes freezing them does make it work much better. Also you have to turn the 30lb tank unside down. The cylinders to tend to go bad with age, use, exposure, so the do not last for ever. After I fill them, I let them sit for a day or two, before I take them to the boat. When one does go bad, it will start leaking, either out of the valve, or from the overfill vavle (Looks like a tire valve) You can smell it reight away. In the 10 years that I have been refilling them, I have only had one go bad. I left it outside, and let it bleed off.

Get a gRill use it enjoy.
