Warning - the following contains no useful information! I've had my round Magna for close to ten years now, have cooked on it a lot and in all sorts of blustery wind conditions, and I have NO complaints. It chars a very fine piece of flesh, no matter the weather.
I just thought I should offer my utterly satisfied experience as balance to the recent flood of Magna bashing. I'm not sure what I could be doing to deserve such loyal service from my grill; perhaps the occasional kind words I offer it? dogaboard >I use the round one.
