Hey Borg mind hive, those of you who have the magma grill, where did you get it? And the stanchions? Any recommendations on things you would do differently or otherwise?
I had @HailMary Custom Make me a flag holder, an umbrella holder and a Grill Stanchion. He sells them, multi color, etc. What is nice is his custom stanchion swings out a bit so that the drippings don't hit my swim platform as much.
See this post, and pics and the link to his website.
How many parts are needed for the grill?
Grill
Adapter - It looks like this is not included with the grill
Stanchion - used for the table/umbrella/grill?
@tabbibus, I have the same boat. I bought the Newport 2 grill on amazon (but it was $402 back then), the Magma T10-375 Rod Holder mount from ebay, the bag and serving tray from anchor express and the grill stanchion from @HailMary. The grill, tray and propane fit in the bag under the port bow seat and I keep the stanchions in the rear port seat. As @HangOutdoors said it is very nice to be able to use the grill on the transom and the factory table set up in the cockpit. We enjoyed again yesterday.

I've been seriously considering this setup. Wife greenlit the "grill on the boat" plan a few days ago, and I'm starting to collect my thoughts about it again.
Only thing I don't like there is that it's bolted to the stanchion. I want to be able to remove the Blackstone and just have it "sit" on a table. Then have the table and stanchion be removeable. Slightly less expensive than a Magma grill setup, and you can use the Blackstone at camp or home when not boating. I also think I want the two burner setup instead of the single. Have to see a couple in person before I decide though.
Unsure if I'm going to get one from @HailMary or try and fab my own setup. Would really like mine to be a little more collapsible, and a made from aluminum instead of stainless. We'll see what I come up with, but it's a winter project that I'm going to try hard to get done this year.

Just looking through his site again. Looks like the mount for the blackstone just sits inside the stanchion and they are, in fact, two separate pieces. $238 for a mount and $78 for the bracket feels like a bit much on initial inspection, but honestly, I'm not certain I can make it any faster any cheaper even with a metal fab shop in the building.
