Magma Stoves & Cooktops
Magma Marine Stoves & Cooktops: Built for the Open Water
Magma Products has been the gold standard for marine cooking since 1976, when twin brothers Jim and Jerry Mashburn set out to solve a simple problem: experiments with attaching conventional grills to boats proved unsuccessful, as the porcelain metal grills of the era would rust out quickly after exposure to saltwater — so the brothers engineered a solution using stainless steel. That same commitment to marine-grade durability is front and center in every Magma stove and cooktop they produce today.
Dual-Function Design: Grill and Stove in One
What truly sets Magma apart in the stoves and cooktops category is the dual-function engineering of their flagship Marine Kettle 3 Combination Stove & Gas Grill. You can easily convert this portable gas grill into a single-burner stove simply by removing the grill grate and radiant plate dome, making it perfect for cooking a variety of meals beyond grilling. This flexibility means one compact unit can handle everything from boiling water for pasta to searing a fresh catch — an essential feature when galley space is at a premium.
Patented Technology That Performs in Any Conditions
Cooking on the water introduces challenges that land-based stoves never face: wind, salt spray, humidity, and constant motion. Magma has engineered specific technologies to address each of these. The Marine Kettle 3 features a patented design that utilizes both radiant and convection cooking, and the windproof turbo venturi tube and control valve design prevent blow-outs. The mirror-polished 304 marine-grade stainless steel exterior provides superior corrosion resistance, even in the harshest environments.
The patented Radiant Burner Plate and Dome Heat Distribution System is another key differentiator. The burner plate and dome design provides perfectly even, distributed heat whether cooking as a grill or as a direct open-flame stove, while also reducing flare-ups and helping extend the life of the unit.
The Crossover Modular Cook System
For boaters who want even more versatility, Magma's Crossover Single Burner Firebox takes the stove concept further. This firebox features a 15,000 BTU burner with a built-in wind deflector to maintain a strong and efficient flame in any condition. As a modular cook system, the Crossover Firebox can tackle a variety of meals with separately sold accessory tops — including a Marine Grill Top, a Pizza Oven Top, and a Griddle Top — transforming a single stove into a full on-board kitchen.
Fuel Flexibility and Easy Mounting
Magma stoves run on disposable 1-lb. propane canisters or adapt to pre-regulated onboard LPG or CNG systems (with valves sold separately), giving boaters the flexibility to use whatever fuel setup their vessel already has in place. Magma also offers the largest selection of mounting options to customize your setup to your specific boat.
Whether you are outfitting a coastal sailboat or a weekend powerboat, Magma's stoves and cooktops are purpose-built to make on-board cooking as reliable and enjoyable as cooking at home.
