except mine has a smaller handle on the cover, unlike the beefy one you have. Anyhow, this MAPP controller thingy ... sounds like I should get one of those, I'll be bidding against Rodd on eBay ! Mine actually works fairly well, I do clean it from time to time, but threading on the small bottles gets tricky some times. One of these days I'll T into my larger tank.

Most the time we BBQ on the beach with a grille top, over a real fire & coals.

Question > how did you mount the BBQ to the rail ? On mine, there is a small thumb screw that fastens from an L shape mounting bracket on the rail to the bottom of the grill, but it's pretty flimsy, no way I would sail in nasty weather with the grille up, or any movement for that matter. I have been trying to come up with a clever solution for a while now ...

thanks, cheers, John
