Price of Gas for the BBQ

<< < (2/2)

As an aussie living overseas, I can honestly say the BBQ is somethign I miss more than anything.  I won't even dignify a response on the price of LPG gas over here in dubai for fear of aggravating everyone.  Petrol is less than 50c a litre.  To make matters worse in Saudi Arabia its 15 - 17c a litre - a honda civic costs AUD 17 to fill from bone dry - i kid you not.  Not gloating as I would take all of the gas prices, to be able to BBQ in the summer.  Its 45- 55 celsius here in summer, so couldn't think of anythign worse than standing in front of a bbq cooking.

grass is alwasy greener on the other side I guess!

I had "company" over last night who's a nice Sri Lankan guy and he was telling me about how a friend of his in Dubai had only just told him the gas price there yesterday. Apparently about 38 cents a litre. Makes me sick!!
And I lost my BBQ in my marriage separation so my Dad bought me a new gas bottle as a push to get another. But due to the cost I haven't bothered yet. Maybe think again in summer, but with the cost to maintain and now a solo mum to 3 children, I seriously don't think it will be for anything more than particularly special occasions. :(

relaxmax:
My wife's cousin (not a plumber by any stretch of the imagination) connected his good ole BBQ up to mains via a 'T-joint' off the hot water service....

Hasn't blown up yet but if you see on the news part of Deer Park (Western suburb in Melbourne) has turned into a waste land you'll know what happened!!!!!!!!

vbs:
I like the idea of hooking up to the mains -great. I was told to do that you need to chnage the BBQ burners. Did you really need to do that or does it work just fine.
