Rick,

They issued a warning about that a few weeks ago up here. All propane dealers are to look carefully at the valves and the stores that take empty ones in for full ones are also supposed to check them. I think they have only found one so far in this area. Surprising seeing how many dope labs we have around here.

I have two tanks that I have filled. I don't swap them for full tanks.

tcrist 06-28-2008 08:12 AM

I have (2) also. I think that I will start having them refilled also instead of exchanging them. Thanks for the link and info Rick.

Great. Instead of busting/investigating those who return tanks like this, I imagine I will have to buy a new tank (remember the asinine OPD) and be fingerprinted along with submitting an application to obtain a permit for the possession of a known WMD.

This is based on the fact that very very few people would ever come into contact with Anhydrous Ammonia (no I don't mean Windex, the commercial grade stuff) and I would imagine just a hint of it would turn brass green in a very very short time.

Those who really BBQ do not need this advice as all they have to worry about is how many bags of briquets are on hand.

This is nothing but outdoor cooking.

J. T. Toad 06-28-2008 09:56 AM

OH? I thought those who really BBQ dig a big pit, use native wood, and river rock then throw the pig in whole. ;)

Excaliber 06-28-2008 10:16 AM

Hey, those who REALLY BBQ first hunt down the pig armed only with a knife. :D

Of course Chuck Norris doesn't even need a sissy knife... :LOL:

Your right

You are right. It is like using the oven. But at least it is out doors.

Also, when I did use briquets they were always on the side, not underneath the food. Doesnt that make a briquet BBQ like an oven?:)

You all will throw away your propane and briquets when you get one of these, I have one and it's awesome!

I think around $600 for the smallest on up to around $1500 for the largest home models. They are temperature controlled and you can do anything from smoke to grill. I have seen some better prices but you can get the idea here.

I do a 15-20 lb prime rib for Christmas every year by smoking it a couple of hours and turning the heat up for a hour or so to finish, yum:3DSMILE:

The heat is indirect so there is NEVER any flare ups, greasy chicken or a fat encrusted brisket is no problem. Just throw the meat on and walk away.

You can purchase many different wood pellets such as mesquite, hickory, apple, alder and others. One new pellet that is offered is made from grape vines and is very good. A 20lb sack will last around 10-15 hours depending on much heat you want. There is no lighting just dump the pellets in the hopper and turn the switch on.

392cobra 06-29-2008 07:43 AM

They are impressive.

Scott,if you would cook me up some prime rib on it and overnight it to me,I think I would be able to make a more informed decision on the purchase.

Ron61 06-29-2008 07:56 AM

Scott,
Which of those models do you have? I looked and we have a dealer just 6 miles from me. I think once the fires go away I am going over and look at them.

Ron

J. T. Toad 06-29-2008 08:01 AM

I 2nd Fred excellent suggestion. Next Friday would actually be perfect for the party I am planning. About 17.5 lbs. would be perfect. Thanks.

;)

They are impressive.

Roscoe 06-29-2008 09:04 AM

I have two bbq's. One is fueled by house gas and the other is a small Lodge cast iron one that uses wood or charcoal. No propane for me.....

Also have a smoker that uses charcoal.

Roscoe

J. T. Toad 06-29-2008 10:04 AM

holy cow... I just realized... I suffer from BBQ envy.
:LOL:

Jamo 06-29-2008 12:00 PM

I don't even use propane anymore...have one sitting in the garage gathering dust. Tired of the tanks, hotspots, gummed up burners, etc.

I either use charcoal or chunks of wood...not flavored wood chip or pellets...WOOD.

This is what it fits in...Weber Ranch Kettle. 1100 sq. in. Enough for several turkeys, a bunch of chickens, a herd of beef ribs, a whole pig if necessary or 1 or 2 small children...or just a couple of steaks. I like the extra space it provides for indirect cooking or resting areas. All the KISS qualities of a regualar-sized Weber.

Ask if they will be cooking on some weekend and have a sample or two.

You clean these will a small brush and a vacume cleaner about once a year.
