Magma Grill for RV, Boat, Van Life, Tips & Tricks (RV Living Full Time) 4K

[@GrandAdventure]

Great job guys! I like your security add-ons in case of incident, but I can also add that we've been using this for 2.5 years and traveled for probably 50K miles of towing with no incidents whatsoever. I really like the way you put this video together, and thanks so much for the shout-out!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Marc, we give credit where credit it due. Larry started watching you way before he got the crazy idea of going full time. We are hearing how long this grill lasts. Someone said 30 years. Thank you for coming by. Alice

[@RVOnTheWayside]

Cool attachment to the ladder. Great advice on cooking the meat and cleaning the grill. Clever move with attaching the grease plate upside down. Thanks for sharing this tutorial! Donovan and Jodi

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

It’s a great unit. Someone said they had theirs for 30 years! We love our nesting pot set too. Larry is clever that way. The upside move and little improvements. Thanks for coming by. Alice

[@Masterchief68a]

Had a Magma grill on my sailboat and it was fantastic! We still have the magma nesting pots! My new 5th wheel has an outdoor kitchen and we usually grill at least 5 or 6 times a week!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Bud, yes. What great products. I think more boat products could be used in RVs. We love the nesting pots too. Thanks for visiting. Alice

[@McGuiresOnTires]

We’re new to your channel and enjoyed this video. Practical and informative solutions! As RV newbies, we’re still honing our grilling game on the road. The step-by-step installation is fantastic! New subscribers to your channel!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Awesome. There is so much to learn when you first start out. Glad we could help a bit. We hope to make more videos for newbies. Thanks for joining us. Alice

[@bluskyodyssey]

I like how compact and portable that grill is, and you don't even have to store it inside the RV. Genius. Debbie - BluWave Odyssey

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Debbie, it is a high quality product built to last. We try to save storage space whenever we can. Thanks for coming by. Alice

[@tnth9099]

the best video have seen for this bbq - thanks! (have ordered same model)

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

That’s awesome. Let us know how you feel about it 🤗

[@marcinman9693]

I would change the cable lock you use to a basic bike lock with a code or key. Simple as no tools needed. Nice video I love my magma charcoal grill!

[@SantosChronicles]

This is amazing!!! Love grilling food and so nice it is connected to the RV and won’t have to wait to use the grill. I really like how easy it is to take apart and clean. Just don’t hit your head in it.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

🤣😂 Thats one thing he’s never hit his head on. It’s a great unit. Built to last. Great for small spaces too. We love it. And you can buy legs for it to go on a table. And bigger ones too. Alice

[@TheDryCampers]

Pretty cool! Now the arm is an add-on, so we can use this grill elsewhere as well or does it work best (with the Venturi tube) on the arm? I’d like to get a new grill and smaller than what we currently have, but since Airstreams don’t have ladders, I would have to do it elsewhere. I guess the arm may go on a picnic table or something of the sort though?

[@GrandAdventure]

Bearing in mind that they're intended for marine use, they have a number of mounting options: magmaproducts.com/mounts/marine-kettle-mounts I see that they do have a mount that creates tabletop legs that you could use on a picnic table.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Thanks for that clarification. Good info. as always. Alice

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Marc was quicker than me to answer this. It would match an airstream really nicely 🤣. Alice

[@TheDryCampers]

@@DownsizingMakesCents Yes, yes, it would, Alice! Ha!

[@TheDryCampers]

@@GrandAdventure Awesome, thanks so much!!

[@runningbear721]

I have been researching a grill for our rv. We have an all stainless marine Magma kettle that is twenty years old. Used it on our cabin cruiser and center console many times. It looks great and functions properly. Guess I found my new rv grill !

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

We decided to get it because we have a set of Magma nesting pots we have had for almost 10 years - and they are still awesome. We have had the grill now for almost 3 years. Let us know how you like it 🤗

[@disalvofamily231]

Great video and great idea! Do you think the 17" party size would work on this arm , or would the side or the cover hit on the ladder ?

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Good question. Look up arm, a Magma arm, and see what it works for. Check weight of 17” for weight on ladder. Let us know 🤗

[@disalvofamily231]

@@DownsizingMakesCents it says the arm is compatible with all magma grills ,but on a boat you are usually mounting it above a rail , not next to a vertical laddder , so I dont think they mean in this application. If I do it I'll probably just go with your set up.

[@jonathanscheurich]

Thank you very much! Greets from Berlin, Germany

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Your welcome, currently in Florida 🤗

[@chemopia]

Suggestion: Use Flitz liquid metal polish on that guy! The boaters' favorite bright work cleaner.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Bill, thanks for the tip. I’ll definitely get some, Alice

[@theplinkerslodge6361]

Great vid, way above average. I refill the Coleman tanks which rounds out to about $1 per refill. There's an adapter to fill from a 20lb'er. You just need to figure out how many little 1lb'ers you need to carry that gets you from refill to refill. I would think the grill arm would damage your ladder and/or bend while you are driving, no? I could see rolling the grill toward the ladder, thenusing some bungies under the grill to rungs that are higher up to provide some shock absorption. You just have to watch fellow travellers with bike racks hit the thresholds to bridges or hit potholes to see how violent there bikes and bike rack thrashes around to want to cushion those shocks, somehow.

[@OurlifeWhirlwind]

Great review video. Michelle says she is a little worried having the hot grill that close to the RV. Have you had any issues with the heat on the grill on the back of the RV? Ask us how we know what happens to vinyl siding when grills get to close....lol 😉😀😋

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Good question. Larry swings it away from the RV 8-10” when cooking. And the heat is concentrated inside. He’s felt the RV. It’s never gotten warm. It’s a marine grill, built to last. Alice

[@tevans3373]

Our first RV was an Airstream so I wanted a silver grill. After research in 2006, I decided on the Magma A10-918-2GS with the table top legs. I wanted a rectangle surface because we had children camping with us and I was afraid the round grill might not have enough surface area. I still use it and recommend it.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

That’s a great reason for picking it 😅. Love it. Glad to hear you still love it. We do it, Alice

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Ok I see Larry is cooking. Minus 1 man point. Cooking a meal for the two of you. Throw a couple pieces of lettuce on the grill and you are good. Lol aka you eat like rabbits. I had food off that grill. It really was good. We are using the 17 inch griddle right now but don’t like it to much. We are going to get something different here soon. This install look pretty simple over all. We will take a look at this one for sure. I thought I was your favorite channel. Now I find you are cheating on me with this Mark channel guy. Hum. Lol Great video y’all. Where is Alice? Why no Downsizing Makes Cents like the penny? So many questions.

[@GrandAdventure]

Wait, now I found out that they're cheating on me with you?

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

@@GrandAdventure Yeah we are both getting pushed around by Larry. Maybe we just need to hookup and leave him behind. lol. Thanks for the comment. Hope you are doing well.

[@GrandAdventure]

@@SmallSpaceLiving LOL! Sounds like a plan. Hope all is well with you and yours as well.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

William, behave or I might block you 🤣. Larry cooks 90 percent of the time. Don’t worry, he’s all man 😘 They do make bigger versions at Magma. Check out their website. You are ONE of our favorite channels 😅. I took the day off. The talent needed a rest. Plus I know nothing about this grill since I hardly cook. But see what happens when I don’t take charge? Larry missed a lot of stuff 🤔. Alice

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Marc, to tell the truth, you came into our life way before William 🤣. Alice

[@JUSTINANDCHRISTINA]

love this grill- especially the quick to heat and compact design.. hmmm 🤔 maybe maybe on our wish list Medium to high for STEAK! yup yup 👍🏼 Easy to clean cool 😎 - How many meals does the little propane bottle get you??

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Justin, 3-4 meals per bottle. It’s perfect for van lifers. It’s so small. Someone in the comments says he is on 30 years with his. Alice

[@Brian-ug3el]

I purchased a Yamaha generator around the same time, only used it 4 or 5 times, and the inverter stopped working a few years ago. I paid about what the Honda costs, but it wasn't worth fixing. Always started right up, but not as dependable as a Honda.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

We love our generator and have had it for many years. Soon after this video, we bought the 2200. Larry was going to do a video about it until his health crisis - we hope to be back at it soon

[@BevDessert]

I have a haul master aluminum mobility wheelchair ♿ carrier with ramp on my class A RV. Would it be okay to attach the BBQ to carrier instead of theladder?

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

I think that would work fine, just measure the diameter of the round tube you are attaching to, the arm attachment can be ordered in different sizes, and they also have adapters. Larry

[@davidh7268]

nicely done!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Thanks. We bar b que on the Magma rather than campground dirty ones. And it takes up no room in storage.

[@rvdogfl]

Same grill I have it will last forever mine is 30 + years old.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

30+ years. That’s awesome. Magma makes amazing products actually meant to last. Alice

[@oldschoolisnewschool]

The cheep way to do it is just make a hobo stove. All you need is a large 1 gallon food can. We use 10 charcoal brokets and done.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Interesting. But we are very happy with our Magma and using propane 🤗

[@oldschoolisnewschool]

@@DownsizingMakesCents Look into it up it's a real thing. The food taste like it was cooked on a charcoal grill because you do use charcoal. People will not steal it from you because they think its trash. That is how one was taken from out camp the people that clean up tha camp that we stayed at took it because they thought it was trash.

[@fredbarone7098]

Any concerns with the heat with the grill so close to rv?

[@GrandAdventure]

We've been using this for a few years now, and we've had no issues whatsoever from heat.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

We swing ours away about 8-10” while in use. No issues. Remember, they make Marine quality. Alice

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Grand Adventure thanks for your expertise

[@BarbMMH]

Yum!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Most of our meals are cooked at this grill

[@FernandoGonzalesPortillo]

Do you have a video on how you ignite it

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Sorry, thought it was shown in the video. Turn dial to release propane, light underneath with long lighter. Then set temp. Alice

[@blueschild61]

If you take off the grill and the radiant plate I suppose you could use it to boil a kettle. Does anyone have any input on this?

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

I am sure you could use it that way, but the flame would be a few inches from the pot you are trying to boil in. It is a great backup plan if we run out of our regular propane tanks but need to cook in a pot. Larry

[@bradlangley7815]

That grill location looks a little like watching the "Grapes of Wrath". I would have it inside with the ability to plug into a gas line plumbed to the outside if needed. You can get a portable pellet grill for the price of the one you got and have much more functional grill/oven combination. Most of your camping has nice table/bench seating that would be perfect for your needs?

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Brad, we love the Magma brand and not needing to take away storage for this BBQ. You can buy legs for it. We just prefer this way. But I appreciate the suggestion. Alice

[@jadegb5474]

Great vid but if you want to save your knukles use spanners...........much safer.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Good point. Larry said he was just being lazy 😉 Alice

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

55 for a cover is robbery!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

I couldn’t agree with you more, but I will say we have had this cover for about a year and a half and it still looks brand new it is a Sunbrella material and very well-built. Larry
