Just finished the great holiday game “is there any propane in this tank?” Now onto “clean that grill”!

Always a good day when there's still propane in the tank! Enjoy the BBQ :-)

I am obsessed with redundancy so I always have a spare tank.

Right, me too—but the spare lingers in a Schroedinger-ish state of empty/full uncertainty. If I need it, it’s empty too. Otherwise it’s so full it hurts my back to lift it.

That means you get to play the game where you try to recall getting the spare filled when you swapped it out.

not allowed in my nanny state so I am left to the depradations and underfilling and terrible availability of blue rhino and amerigas, I am at all times so close to ditching propane entirely

If you do, I also have a Big Green Egg and would recommend the knockoff Kamado Joe which is usually being sold at Costco for half the price.

That's very cool! Not yet here, but I'll definitely check back.

Fair but: you’re not dealing with a Blackstone that was outside in a PNW winter. Imagine de-rusting and re-seasoning a 4x3 cast iron pan.

You make it sound like I didn't live in Seattle for 16 years. This is a new version of the game having to do with hurricanes and thick layers of pollen.

Hubs is scheduled to play this game soon

I need to replace my flavorizer bars. So tonight it’s pizza and shotgun shells.

Heh. I would take a quick stroll to the hardware store to see how long the fill line is for the propane tanks but it’s still 89 so nah. Happy 4th!

Can I tell you about my natural gas-fired grill?
Avatar
Can I tell you about my home which has no gas lines and no company was willing to supply me with gas?

When I moved into my house, in a nice 1950s neighborhood in North Seattle, we thought we could get gas. Turned out our house was built 10 years after the rest of the subdivision, so there was no way to get it added. Also means we’re ~150’ from our water meter 😳

We have an HOA around us but are not part of it.

Be fair giving you an on tap supply of something potentially explosive is probably a bad idea.

It’s okay. Means my stove is induction. I do have a 660 like for electricity, so no issues with current fluctuation.
