I’ve gone without an open flame grill since we mothballed Nereus back in 2007. Tonight, we fired up the old Magma BBQ with some rib eye steaks we bought at Sprouts in San Pedro.

Our Magma Marine Kettle has been used and abused. The regulator is shot, the flame screen had holes in it and the radiant heat briquettes are almost falling through the screen. But, it heated up just fine for our Father’s Day evening aboard.

Adding to those steaks some brown rice and a nice bottle of vino tinto and dinner was AMAZING!!! Best Father’s Day ever!!!

Love my First Mate, Sidonia Carns!
