LPG is easy and cheap
Electrickery costs $$$.
When at the marina electricity is free when on the hook I run the generator morning and night for 30/40 min to top up the fridge and hot water so the gen is running with a good load
There are plug in type electric grills, it doesn`t have to be a chef`s installation,I`m sure Mrs Gaston would not be insisting on that.
Btw, we were at Berowra last weekend, Barrenjoey is looking good.
So was Black Label.
I prefer propane. They are faster and the added risk of shock or worse on a wet boat deck doesn't seem to be less than the risk of propane on the boat. I suppose one can limit the use of electric grills to only dry times, but when cruising, I use the grill almost every night, whether it's raining or not.

I prefer propane...

Me too. My three propane bottles last about 3 years, so i never run out.
Most of all, I've never had a steak cooked on an electric grill that was as good as gas.
We run all electric boats with no propane. Good electric grills cost more than gas grills but do an excellent job.
...I’m thinking about a medium size big green egg, with a custom welded nest for it on the upper deck...
. No risk of shock with proper installation,.
What is a good electric grill? I have gas on the boat but on my condo's lanai I am required to use electric. I have the small Weber Q electric and don't like it.
Sorry, that's not possible. There is always some risk. Following your logic, there would be no risk of fire with a properly installed propane system, yet occasionally there is a boat fire.

So for those who advocate propane, how many bottles do you carry and what are the made of?
TIA
I carry two 17 pound composite tanks. My dinghy outboard also runs on propane. The table top grill will run most of a year on one of those tanks.So for those who advocate propane, how many bottles do you carry and what are the made of?

Has anyone put a charcoal smoker on thier boat? I’m thinking about a medium size big green egg, with a custom welded nest for it on the upper deck. I have a propane one for searing so it would only get used for smoking.
T-Fal Optigrill. Beats any Foreman. Use on the kitchen or galley counter easily. Grills steaks or burgers or hot dogs well. Grills pork and chicken well also but not a grilled exterior so I like to then put them in a skillet briefly before serving.
