      ...and then I will add that I have used a Magma Charcoal grill for 18
    years, and love it. The cover stays put once on, and it should be on
    when cooking (cover is only off when lighting and burning off the
    starter). We end up using it around once a weekend I guess, and
    sometimes both days if it is hot out. The charcoal stays good even over
    our winters, if left onboard.
      You will also hear other "horror" stories about 'charcoal briquets'
    spontaneously conbusting in storage. Utter poppycock. Charcoal
    briquets do not have enough mass to produce the heat necessary to
    spontaneously combust. Anthracite coal on the other hand most certainly
    will combust spontaneously if the right conditions are met...whatever
    they are.
