The Marine Kettle 2 incorporates new features that are both useful and user friendly -- including being virtually windproof. Its dependability in a stiff breeze is due to a virtual blow-out proof turbo venturi and valve system. A front mounted piezo igniter is now included, as well as a new patented burner and heat distribution system that reduces flares-ups. The burner also adds years of life to the grill by directing more heat to the cooking surface.
