I was under the impression that Australian BBQ was done on a griddle of some sort so the type of heat made no difference.

I have an opinion but since I don't have a "real" boat I guess it would not count because of no experience.

When enquiring about installing the inside stove the gasfitter suggested that most marine ovens are too small to be used and that some fitted a microwave instead.

So can the BBQ be also used as an oven?

I have used charcoal and like how food taste cooking with it. I cooked some great tasting food on gas too. Propane is so much easier and alot less hassle. I switched to propane for ease of use. Charcoal is hard to light when it's windy. As much as I use my grill, it would be difficult to carry enough charcoal and lighter fluid to meet my needs.
