About Us

In 1976, identical twin brothers, Jim and Jerry Mashburn, created Magma Products. They were two young California sailors who, besides their love of sailing, loved to barbeque. However, experiments with attaching grills to their boat proved unsuccessful. After a short time attached to the stern of Jim and Jerry's boat, the grills simply rusted out and became completely unserviceable. Over 40 years later, the brightly polished Stainless Steel familiar shape of a Magma Grill can be seen. That original charcoal grill is still available and is now complemented with several round and rectangular propane models. There are mounting devices to accommodate any possible boating need, Cookware and Fillet Tables to help prepare and to serve your Marine Cuisine on board, Umbrellas to keep you shaded while doing so, and anti-roll devices to steady the boat while you enjoy your favorite meal. The most important product that Magma has produced, however, has been confidence.
