Turns out the LPG propane hose had split and was letting raw propane gas to exit the hose BEFORE the regulator. BBQ is toast. I never really liked it because is was very small, could only do a couple of items. It kept going out in the littlest of wind. It was not that hot, and was permanently mounted to the rail.
Old BBQ on the rail
The old unit used to rattle with engine vibrations, so I would prop the stern line in the open lid.
After researching the market, I decided on a Dickinson Spitfire 180.
Lot bigger grill, same width, but taller and deeper.
MADE IN CANADA (Surrey BC).
Really well made.
It heats up quickly with real even heat.
It was blowing 20 knots from the stern and it didn't blow out.
Bought the quick release rail mount, so it can be stored down below.
Also bought a stainless tray for cooking vegetables/bacon/pancakes etc.
As an added bonus, it has feet so it can be used ashore using the 1 lb propane bottles.
