My experience with Parker grills has not been so positive.  It is 
difficult to keep lit if windy and the customer service is 
terrible.  I called looking for a spare part and was told, "You are a 
sailor, just pretend you are in the arctic and make one."

Mine was installed by my boat's manufacturer who has stopped using 
Parkers because of the customer service.
