I hate Magma's, I have three of them, one round one and two of the box type, one is "Infra red"
None of them will stay lit worth a darn in any wind. I gave up and based on Cotemar's experience bought a Q1200. It stays lit, plus I love the battery powered igniter, my Magma's igniters quit working soon after purchase.
I never did figure out a safe place to store those little 1lb propane bottles, so I bought an adapter hose and mounted a 10 lb aluminum tank under the grill, much happier now.

Weber works much better, and is about half the price too.

Here is my custom dual 16.4 oz propane storage bag that holds my tanks high and dry over the bow rail. If a tank leaks it goes right overboard.

You can replace the regulator with a simple ball valve for gas. It's easy to control the flame (and you can really get a hot flame for steaks!) and when you turn it off it's safely shut off.

I have a Dickenson BBQ and I must say it is very well made. Over 5 years of heavy use and not a spec of rust. All the parts are SS or brass fittings. The only complaint is the burner eventually rots out after a few years, but it may be user error as I cook with salt and sometimes put the flame way up to sear a steak (see above).
