Their early experiments proved that they were on the right track…
And soon they had a charcoal grill that they knew was the answer to their problem. Well....at least their first problem. Now they had to convince boaters that placing burning hot charcoal on their boats was not a completely crazy idea.
Countless hours of talking to the boat-wise Southern California sailing community gradually won over a few converts and those converts converted even more until the sight of glowing charcoals was not an uncommon sight in Avalon Harbor on any summer’s evening.
Selling the new idea to the boating equipment stores however, was harder. Traveling from San Diego to Santa Barbara in their beat up old van, Jim and Jerry visited every marine store that would talk to them. Not many buyers wanted to risk their careers on such a risky purchase, so the brothers often left their invention in the stores on consignment. They would immediately go to the docks, find a customer for their products, and lead them directly to the marine store to purchase the consigned grill. This convinced the marine store buyer of the demand for their product and orders soon followed.
Over 40 years later...
Over 40 years later, the brightly polished Stainless Steel familiar shape of a Magma Grill can be seen from Newport to New South Wales, from Cape Cod to Cape Horn, from the South of France to San Francisco. That original charcoal grill is still available and is now complemented with several round and rectangular propane models. There are mounting devices to accommodate any possible boating need, Cookware and Fillet Tables to help prepare and to serve your Marine Cuisine on board, Umbrellas to keep you shaded while doing so, and anti-roll devices to steady the boat while you enjoy your favorite meal.
The most important product that Magma has produced, however, has been confidence. Our customers have confidence that the products that they buy from Magma are of the very highest quality.
