Propane Outdoor Appliance Upgrade

[Gardner Yeaw]

Curt,
Very nice job. I wish my tank looked that new. It's great to see
you didn't use teflon tape on the joints. That is a no-no on gas
connections, but I sometimes see it non-pofessional work.

In case someone might not know, small pieces of the tape can flake
off and get into the regulators and gas valves and cause
malfunctions. The worst case is that the safety shutoff could get
stuck open.
