You didn't mention anything about the conversation with Magma. I've used
their party size grill for the last 5 years with no problems. Practical
Sailor (and their sister publication, Powerboat Reports) reported that
this one was their pick of the round grills. Even stainless (stains
less) will corrode under severe use. Mine is still going strong, working
like new. I keep it covered when not in use. Sorry your experience was
not that good.
