Gas grills and fashion
Gas grills (outdoor barbecues) used to fasten the
gas cylinders at one edge of the base plate, the cylinder's base ring fitting into a curved slot. The new fashion is for gas tanks to be enclosed in the cupboard under the grill, the base ring fitting into a circular hole. To hold the gas tank serely, this requires a thumbscrew that fits into a hole in the base ring. Older propane tanks may have solid base rings, i.e. lack the hole required to secure the tank. It will save time for purchasers of a new BBQ to inspect the base ring before attempting to put an old tank into place . . . -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Shoot, I just stick the can in the hole, hook up the regulator and resume grilling. |
