| Review Summary: |
I'm pleased with my grill so far. It did some beautiful steaks, and has done countless dogs and burgers, all to perfection. If you love grilling like I do, this is a great companion to have on a large trailerable cruiser like mine. |

| Strengths: |
Great value. I was surprised how well-made this grill was for the price. The fold out legs are convenient if your boating experience takes you to land. |
| Weaknesses: |
Would be nice to have a built-in lighter. |
| Review Summary: |
This grill seems to be a good size for cooking dinner for a family of 4. It is well-made. It works great even in breezy conditions. A great value. |

| Strengths: |
Sturdy construction, easy to use. |
| Weaknesses: |
No igniter, though I may add one myself. |
| Review Summary: |
This grill has worked fine for us. It always lights easily and has never blown out, even in 20 knot winds. I mostly cook with the cover closed, but even when open, it stays lit. The heat is pretty even, but not perfect. To clean, I use oven cleaner and hose it off. |

This is the most well-made portable bbq i've seen in many years. The quality in craftsmanship and overall function of the product is great. The two heavy duty clasps keep the grill together and fold out legs are excellent for storing the grill when not in use. I've used it for tailgating and other similar outdoor activities and would strongly recommend this product to others. |
| Weaknesses: |
The propane attachment is cumbersome when it comes to storing the grill in its case and prevents the grill from being used on a level surface without an overhang area for the bottle. |
| Review Summary: |
I would purchase this grill over many other portable units that I've seen/rated for its quality and portabilty. |

| Strengths: |
This grill sets the standard - the fold out legs, the variety of mounts available, and overall construction is great! |
| Weaknesses: |
Two flaws - the lack of electronic ignition and the propane bottle attachment/regulator should be removable. |
| Review Summary: |
This BBQ grill is the right size for smaller boats. Enough grill space for a family of 4, without being unwieldy to store or secure on the variety of mounts available. The fold-out legs are a convenience item permitting use other than on the boat with purchasing additional hardware. Overall, good value and a great product! |

| Strengths: |
Easy to light, and you can see the flames through the side. Easy to control the heat level. You can use wood chips for smoking. |
| Weaknesses: |
None so far. |
| Review Summary: |
We were a little worried about buying the grill at first...... About 30 seconds after starting the grill my husband said "This is so much better than our Magma." We've been very happy with its performance thus far. |

| Strengths: |
Good size for 4 large steaks or 6 small steaks, stows in small space with the folding legs, easy to convert to propane tank use, great workmanship and all stainless construction. |
| Weaknesses: |
Would like a self igniter. |
| Review Summary: |
I had the Magma Marine Kettle II for 2 years before I bought the Stow-N-Go and it drove me crazy with the flimsy way the socket mount on the bottom had to be tightened down very hard to prevent it from swiveling and tipping and it would still swivel. The Stow-N-Go is rock sold on four legs. Also the Magma Marine Kettle II drove me crazy trying to fiqure out what to do with the top of the kettle. I could never get it to hook right on the side of the kettle and it ended up dangeling on the stainless steel cord attached, banging into things or worse yet burning things. The Stow-N-Glow has a solid tilt back top that is never in the way. I also like the Stow-N-Glow for the way it cooks the steaks. On High flame, I give my steaks no more than 5 Minutes each side, less if they are thin steaks, and the Stow-N-Glow cooks them like an oven - evenly through the meat without scorching the meat. The Magma Marine Kettle II we had to watch like a hawk or it would fry the steaks to shoe leather. |
