Hi, welcome back to Grand Adventure! I'm your host Marc Guido. We've been looking
for a better grilling solution for RV this season. We wanted something that we
could mount directly to the RV and leave it there when traveling, and we've
actually come up with a great solution. We'll show you on this episode of Grand
Adventure, so stay tuned.

Now, we looked around online and we found several solutions but none of them were
exactly what we wanted - they were big, they were heavy, they were expensive or
maybe you couldn't leave them on the RV when traveling. My goal was to free up
some basement space and make it a lot quicker to be able to use the grill, so I
wouldn't have to lug it out of the basement and plug it into the propane
and disconnect and put it away each time that I used it.
My wife had a great idea. She said, "Why not look at the marine industry?" You know,
oftentimes marine products are a lot better than RV products and in this case
it really turned out to work out well for us. We decided to go with a Magma
marine kettle grill. These have literally been around for decades. They normally
mount to the rail of a boat, but I got to thinking, you know our ladder on the back
of our RV isn't really much different than a boat, and if a mount can
withstand the slamming of a boat into the water, it certainly ought to be able
to handle traveling down the road. So now we've got the kettle grill installed.
We're also running off the low pressure propane. You can see that the hose goes
back to a low pressure fitting on the side of our trailer. so it's running off
the house propane. That bracket, all you do is loosen it by hand and it could be
swung back against the trailer while traveling or extended outward into that
position while cooking. Let's head out into the field and give it a try on the
road. So here we are in the southern Utah
desert after a five-hour drive from Salt Lake City and the grill rode beautifully.
iI didn't work its way loose even the slightest bit from all the road
vibration, including some pretty heavily wash boarded dirt roads. Speaking of dirt
roads, I keep this cover on it while traveling. That keeps it clean, especially
with that dust cloud behind the rig while you're traveling down a dirt road.
Let me swing this into position and show you what we do. Just loosen this a little
bit by hand and rotate it out away from the rig for cooking. I'll take the cover off
and I'll show you. So here it is all set up for cooking I've got the low pressure
regulator on here but it also did come with the one-pound regulator for the
one-pound canisters so I can use that for quick roadside
cooking if I want to. The lid is hinged so that way you don't have to worry
about it falling over, and it doesn't take up any additional space to open so
it can be right up against anything in this position. It's far enough away from
the rig that I'm not concerned about any damage from the heat. It does heat up
very quickly. We used it to cook when we got here on Friday night. I'm extremely
happy with this idea! So that's going to do it for this episode of Grand
Adventure. Tune in next week, we'll be exploring this area of southern Utah.
We're in La Verkin. We tried to get onto Gooseberry Mesa but boy, it's a busy
Easter weekend down here in southern Utah. Beggars can't be choosers, and we
had to have room for three rigs, so we got this spot over on Sheep Bridge Road,
which you may remember from our Zion episode. Thank you very much for coming
