Had the 15" model on our boat and was tired of needing to cook two rounds of dinner when we have teenagers on board. Got a fabulous price on an open box but new 17". 2" larger diameter doesn't sound like much but it gives over 200 square inches more cooking space. These Magma grills are very well designed, durable enough for a salt water marine environment, and the next best thing to a Primo or Green Egg.
The grate is on a threaded axis, you have to unscrew the grate to load the grill. You have to unmount to clean, can only be used on a mount as you cannot open the lid all the way if it was on a bench.
These are quality products that have been around for some time now. I bought the charcoal version for our sailboat, but saw the propane version was only a few dollars more. The propane will be a bit easier to deal with on the boat.
I am also disappointed in the design changes. What happened to the knob to adjust the top vent? The party size model does need a longer arm to extend it off the deck. While I like the hinged top, I am concerned how it will function over the long run. I had my original one for 20 years...I am trying to be hopeful regarding this one.
