Purpose-Built for Marine Grilling
The Dickinson Sea-B-Que Small is designed specifically for the challenges of cooking aboard a boat. Wind, limited space, and corrosive saltwater environments demand a grill that's compact, durable, and reliable — and the Sea-B-Que Small delivers on all three fronts. Whether you're anchored in a quiet cove on the Great Lakes or tied up at a coastal marina in the Maritimes, this grill lets you enjoy freshly grilled meals without the bulk of a full-sized barbecue.
Durable 304 Stainless Steel Construction
Built from 20-gauge grained 304 stainless steel, the Sea-B-Que Small is engineered to withstand the rigours of marine life. The 304-grade stainless offers strong corrosion resistance, though like all stainless steel marine appliances, it benefits from regular freshwater rinsing and cleaning — particularly in saltwater environments — to prevent surface discolouration or rust over time. Dickinson manufactures these grills at their facility in Surrey, British Columbia, a company with deep roots in the Canadian marine industry.
Efficient Cooking Performance
The single stainless steel burner produces 10,000 BTU of heat, providing consistent and efficient grilling for meats, seafood, and vegetables. Four removable porcelain-coated grill sections promote even heat distribution across the 9.25" × 16" cooking surface and are sized to fit easily in a galley sink for cleaning. The integrated lid thermometer allows you to monitor temperature without lifting the hood, helping you achieve precise results every time.
Wind-Resistant Design with Roll-Away Hood
Grilling on the water means dealing with wind, and the Sea-B-Que Small addresses this with its roll-away hood design. The hood helps shield the burner from gusts that could cause flameouts, while the hood knobs allow safe handling even when the lid is hot. The compact body and low profile further reduce wind exposure, making it a practical choice for open-air cooking on deck.
Propane Fuel Options and Compatibility
The Sea-B-Que Small ships configured for high-pressure propane, ready to connect directly to standard 1 lb disposable cylinders. For boaters with an onboard propane system, the grill can be adapted to a low-pressure supply by replacing the included regulator control with Dickinson's low-pressure gas valve (part# 15-193, sold separately) and ensuring a separate 11" WC low-pressure regulator is installed at the bottle. High-pressure propane hoses in 6 ft and 8 ft lengths are also available from Dickinson for connecting to larger 10 lb or 20 lb tanks.
Mounting and Portability
Included deck legs allow the Sea-B-Que Small to be used as a tabletop grill on any stable, non-combustible surface. For permanent or semi-permanent installations, Dickinson offers optional rail mounts, pedestal mounts, Scotty mounts, taff rail mounts, and fishing rod holder mounts — all sold separately. This flexibility means you can configure the grill to suit your vessel's layout, whether it's a sailboat cockpit, a powerboat swim platform, or a dock-side table.
Grease Management and Easy Cleanup
The slide-out drip tray captures grease during cooking, reducing flare-ups and making post-meal cleanup straightforward. The porcelain-coated grill sections lift out for washing, and the compact interior is easy to wipe down. Dickinson recommends emptying the drip tray after each use and wiping grease from the burner once it has cooled to maintain safe, reliable operation.
