Right on, Keith! I haven't had any problems with my Magma, and think
that it's a fine piece of gear. I actually have another BBQ available,
but rarely use it as the Magma does the trick with far less fuel. The
stove function is tremendous, and makes for a nice way to cook outdoors.
I find that a bicycle-type water bottle is a necessity, to tame the
grease flare-ups. Also, having a spare wrench that fits the support arm
is a good addition to the BBQ kit. Trust me, that bolt has to be tight!

Using a pressure cooker (I like my modern, explosion-free Kuhn-Rikon) is
also a sage piece of advice. I think that the big trick is to sauté
everything at high heat (think wok) in the cooker before applying
pressure. The food is tastier, too, as all of the flavor gets locked in.
If anyone is interested, I can post recipes for Frijoles Charros, Coq Au
Vin, Chile Verde, Beef & Barley Stew, and others!
