We too have the force 10 and it does do all those thongs. Next one
will be a home cheapo model on a homemade mount

We have had two years' experience with our Magma Catalina and use it
4 or 5 times a week. Yes, they are too expensive, BUT we have had
no problems with high wind or uneven heating. I can only recall one
time when it "blew out" and the wind must have been in the 30-40
knot range when it happened.
It does have some brownish stains on the exterior and I'm not sure
if it's corrosion or the result grease fires. I haven't tried very
hard to remove them, so I don't know how permanent they are.
The push button igniter lasted about two weeks, though. Other
cruisers tell me that's pretty typical. I found rather pricey "one
size fits all" replacement igniter at West Marine. It didn't really
fit, but I got it installed anyhow and, yep, it lasted about two
weeks. We now use the butane fire sticks.
Overall, we're very happy with our Catalina. As I recall, Practical
Sailor rated them pretty highly -- maybe Numero Uno. If you want, I
might be able to dig out the article.
Good luck!

stay lit in winds over 5mph. Have replaced regulator many times and
burner
once.
Prev tried a barrel style (2002) found it as bad and sold it with
first
boat.
Was recommended to buy Magma Catalina and verified from owners that
it works
in reasonable winds, don't like $350 price.
Currently have tiny Force 10 barrel, it cooks unevenly, it requires
wind or
must leave top ajar, or it goes out.
Recommendations please!
Can anyone verify if new models Kuuma (specify exact model) cook in
normal
circumstances?
