Best Boat BBQ: Our Experience with the Kuuma Grill

Our Go To Boat BBQ Setup

With boat life there are few things better than grilling at anchor or dockside with a view. Since September 2022, we’ve been using the Camco, Kuuma Stow N’Go 216 Elite Propane Grill. It has gotten plenty of use through weekend trips and harbor cookouts. We can confidently say this is one piece of boat gear that absolutely earns its space onboard.

🔥 Why We Chose It

Space is everything on a boat, and this compact grill checks every box for portability and performance. It was easy to mount to our boat

mounted easily to our boat. The stainless steel construction has held up beautifully against the salt air.

We especially like the push-button igniter and built-in thermometer. — all features you’d expect from a full-size grill, just scaled down for boat life.

⚙️ Features We Love

• Compact, marine-grade design – Perfect for smaller spaces and easy to store when not in use.
• Even heat control – Ideal for everything from burgers to fresh-caught fish.
• Built-in thermometer & push-button ignition – Reliable start-up every time, even in breezy conditions.
• Easy setup – Works with small propane cylinders and can be mounted or freestanding.
• Durable stainless steel – Withstands salt, humidity, and marine conditions better than most portable grills.

🌊 Real Use on the Water

We’ve been using this grill since 2022 aboard No Plans USA, and it’s become part of our weekend ritual — breakfast on the water, sunset dinners at the dock, and impromptu lunches. It’s the perfect balance of portable, durable, and boat-friendly.
