Thanks everyone for your input. 
To MY mind, I don't think the advantages bear the risks. Just my point of view - wouldn't be a responsible skipper if I came to any other decision. 

Many thanks,
Ian

The risk of fire is, I agree, very low. Also, I think what could happen should be considered. I know how petrol vapour explodes violently; could badly burn someone near. I wouldnt have a BBQ on a petrol fuled boat.]]> Sat, 29 Sep 2012 18:01:07 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82941&PID=1185590&title=bbq-on-boat#1185590 <![CDATA[BBQ on boat : 41 1/2 below wrote:outboard...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82941&PID=1185326&title=bbq-on-boat#1185326 Author: smelli

seriously though... I go to great lengths to keep the boat as simple and functional as possible. I spend heaps on servicing and maintenance without complicating the issue with things that I don't need.
Personally I would find a bbq on my boat about as useful as an outboard motor in the kitchen.
Boat for catching fish - kitchen for cooking fish - dining room for eating fish.

One thing to remember is that fuel vapors are heavier than air. Therefore any vapors coming out the tank breather will tend to "fall". If you have inboard fuel tanks with a breather on the outside of the transom the fuel vapors will fall into your transom well, depending on where the breather is located of course. With tote tanks the vapor can pool at floor level, which can be dangerous in its own. Therefore the higher you have your source of "possible ignition" I.e. the BBQ flame, the better. I have used mine on the bait board many a time with no issues.

Of course a lot depends on environmental conditions like airflow and direction of the airflow (breeze/wind). But generally you would be using the BBQ while anchored, which one could generally assume the vapors would be blown out from the stern of the boat, away from the cooker. Most fumes are admitted from the breather while filling up, when for every litre of fuel added equals one litre of vapor coming out. The breather, while the motor is running, is to allow air in to replace the fuel content that is sucked out by the motor. But you probably already knew that.

I guess you need to make a judgement call as to the conditions at the time ]]> Fri, 28 Sep 2012 20:08:41 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82941&PID=1185291&title=bbq-on-boat#1185291 <![CDATA[BBQ on boat : why? you got one for sale? :-)...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82941&PID=1185280&title=bbq-on-boat#1185280 Author: bagpussnz
