I prefer propane myself. Charcoal does make better tasting food, but it is a 
messy PITA on a boat. One surveyor, no doubt traumatize by a coal bunker fire 
in a previous life, would not sign off until I got rid of the charcoal grill. 
Coal will spontaneously ignite when damp.

Does anyone have experience using a charcoal BBQ on the boat, like the Magma
Marine Kettle charcoal unit?
An almost new Magma Marine Kettle charcoal unit complete with rail mounting
bracket and cover was one of the unexpected extras that came along with the
purchase of Alianna that I have never used because I already had a Force 10
propane BBQ which worked well right up until it fell overboard last
Saturday.
Now, before buying a new propane BBQ I thought I would try the charcoal unit
first to see how it worked and to determine if it is worth using permanently
or for that matter storing in my garage any longer.
I am wondering if anyone has experience and comments about using charcoal
BBQ on board that they might share, like do I have to dump the ash after
each cooking and if so what is the easiest way to do that and how long is a
usual wait time to start cooking food after ignition of the charcoal.
I don't mind carrying the charcoal and lighter fluid on board and in fact I
already carry some for my Cole stove cabin heater. Also I understand that
some folks think food tastes better done on a charcoal grill than on a gas
grill and I look forward to learning about that myself so that I can
contribute to that discussion.
