Only $98 in the store, and they put it together for me for free. Bought it @2 pm on Tuesday afternoon and was cooking on it at 7 pm. I also bought a "smoker box" and some hickory chips to flavor the meat. Tuesday's NY Strip steak and chicken breasts were excellent! Wednesday night's pork chops were too (although I didn't use the wood chips on the pork). And it was all so easy and quick! I think I'm going to like this change.

You will definitely enjoy it. Buy yourself an extra grill tank so you won't run out at the wrong time (unless you and B are related; he informed me last night that our grill tank was just about gone. When I asked him why he didn't switch over to the spare, he informed me that the spare was dead, too, and he hadn't thought to mention it or get a new one. )

I bought the tank at Costco Tuesday morning before I bought the grill (sort of forced the commitment to buy the grill) and had it filled there ($9.99 for 20 pounds of gas). Total cost ~$38. The tank has a gauge on it, so I'll know when I'm low. And WalMart, 1 mile away, has a (Blue Rhino?) tank exchange (~$18) if I ever run out, although I'd prefer to keep my tank and gauge and only pay $10 for the fill. We'll see how it works out.

For moment, I thought you were talking about this:

You could get the gas company to put in a permanent line. I have one of those on my deck.

I have no idea how far behind I've gotten on this thread. I'm starting over today. I'm sure you've all been talking about me for the last 500 pages or so, both good and bad. I'm still not reading it.

But I might do this --

Tilly, post a picture of you in the scarf! (Please?)

BD is IN THE HOUSE!!!

Is there good news from Boston?

Where you been girl? We've missed you! Welcome back!

Basically, you've missed my rant about thread merging OY. Not much else worth mentioning!

I encourage you to check with an expert, but if I remember right, a new tank has to be treated a little differently than those that have been used for a while. The way I understood it, a new tank is filled with some type of powder substance, in order to absorb any moisture(condensation) that may accumulate inside it's walls while empty and it should be pressured and then emptied before it's first complete usage in order to clear this powder and not force it through the gas lines of the grill.

I like mesquite. Hickory works well on pork, but mesquite adds good flavor to anything.

The only thing worse than being talked about...is not being talked about.

New bed is a winner...at least.

At the risk of asking the good Capt for TMI...

details?

One of these memory foam numbers, in the five pound density tops.
I highly suggest it.

Actually, what I got was from the 'Sterling and Thomas' line.

Today, one of my students ended his question/statement with "Know what I mean, NUDGE, NUDGE."

Guess my response...

The tanks at Costco say they are "pre-evacuated". They sell 'em and fill 'em by the hundreds at each store, so I trust they know what they are doing. Thanks for the heads up though.

Tonight's ribeye was outstanding!

New tanks have to be bled. We learned the hard way. We have propane for heat in the mountain house. We bought new tanks, had them filled and the tanks were empty the next day. We've never had that problem with the small tanks.

Our grandson, Max, scored a touchdown this afternoon (middle school). They won 45 to 0. He had a baseball game at 6:00 (fall Dixie ball) and hit a home room. GO MAX!!
