These compact gas grills have similarly sized advertised cooking surfaces, but differ in mounting systems and specifications. This is a research-based comparison; we have not cooked on them side by side.
Quick Verdict
Start with the mount that fits your boat and compare the full cost. The Cabo's stainless steel is 304, not 316; do not choose it on a claimed 316-versus-304 distinction.
How We Evaluated These Grills
Researched / Not Personally Tested
This comparison uses manufacturer product information and other cited specifications. We have not tested these products side by side.
This assessment is based on published information, which may include manufacturer documentation, specifications and owner feedback. We have not owned or cooked on this unit, and nothing here should be read as a first-hand ownership report.
The Contenders
Category Breakdown
Cooking space
Winner: DependsMagma lists 162 square inches for the Cabo; the Kuuma Stow N Go 160 gas model is listed at 160 square inches. Check the exact model and dimensions before ordering.
Materials
Winner: DependsMagma specifies 304 stainless steel for the Cabo. Kuuma's published catalog describes stainless steel construction, but we have not verified an exact alloy for the 160. Neither specification establishes a guaranteed lifespan in salt water.
Mounting and fuel
Winner: DependsBoth product lines offer separate boat-mount options. Confirm model-specific mounts and a suitable regulator for your boat; do not assume mounts are interchangeable.
Price and care
Winner: DependsRetail prices change, and mounts may cost extra. Compare current listings and follow the manufacturer's cleaning and storage instructions.
Final Verdict
Neither grill's long-term corrosion performance has been tested here. Choose based on available space, mounting compatibility, service options and current total price.
Buying Advice
Check that the Kuuma listing is the gas 160 rather than a different size or charcoal variant.
