It depends what you're BBQing!
I'd lean towards a rectangular plate. Round plates seem to waste more space.

Weber baby que. High lid version. You can grill or bake . Uses bugger all gas and they don't get hot underneath. Mine is mounted on homemade mounts on the rear cabin top . When it's to windy to use there I put it on the seat in the cockpit . Gas bottle sits in a milk crate cable tied railing. Last trip I did baked veges and a fray bentos meat pie for something different . Great for pizza as well . I got told you could cook fish in it , I haven't caught one yet lol .

Yes, I am a fan of the gas Weber baby q
There are some good utube mounting videos to be found.
My main concern is, how far from my outboard engine and stored petrol must I position it?
We have a Magma charcoal kettle, stainless but behaves like a little Weber in all other respects. No naked flames, except to light the firelighters, then when they settle down it's all charcoal embers.
Downside is time to being ready to cook, and getting rid of the charcoal dust when you're done. Outboard has never presented a problem.

charcoal fan here too. we use Japanese hardwood charcoal in ours. it's ready to cook relatively quickly (for charcoal).

"Japanese hardwood charcoal". is that really a thing ? i so hope its not !
I love the charcoal flavour, it makes regular snags extra special, but I finally swapped my magma charcoal to a gas kettle version,
just too easy! But I had the reverse situation, charcoal was good in a breeze, gas was troublesome. I think I finally have this licked now. The turbo tube needs sealing where the ferrule slips over the main tube. Much better now, and I have heard on the net people getting out of Kettle Magma bbq's for their in wind performance.
