I bought one (Force 10) a few years ago and was happy with it. When I re-launch I look forward to using it again. Here are my reasons for charcoal:
No Propane; my boat was never engineered for propane and I don't want to drill drain holes etc. Taste: It tastes like the wood or charcoal that you use and that is a better experience Time: The reason I sail is to get back in touch with the speeds and rhythms of wind and waves to complement what I do for a living and slowing down for a charcoal BBQ is synchronous with that. Fun; One Thanksgiving, we ran out of charcoal and had to scavenge pieces of branches and driftwood and roasted turkey bits over wood. Still being talked about 8 years later....

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.

Used charcoal once...beside trying to keep it dry...big PIA with cleanup. Oh yea...spontaneous combustion sucks. +1 on propane. David F.

I'd never heard that before and I come from an era when I used to shovel coal into the furnace and later fill the stoker hopper with coal.? I don't recall precautions about wet coal, other than it burning much better when dry.

Charcoal is messy, dirty, dusty, time-consuming, dangerous to store and extinguish, plain old fashioned and produces green house gases. The worst that can happen with propane is you may go into orbit.
