Most marinas on Lake Michigan have posted rules against BBQ on board. Some enforce it, some look the other way. Private marinas tend to be the most strict in enforcement. Shore facilities are always available. Locals who do grill on deck are typically courteous and take the wind direction into account if they are parked next to another occupied boat. Transients are another story...primarily Loopers. We have a rail mounted unit, and a small portable (both propane) that I take to the shore facilities when other boaters might be impacted by our smoke.
