ChrisUKCANADA Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Hi I moved to the Philippines just about two months ago and my personal belongings arrived about three weeks ago. My Weber BBQ that I was looking forward to using is propane. I had assumed that propane here would be the same - we all know what assuming does! Any tips on how I can covert my BBQ to use propane here. I’ve emailed Weber here several times but with no response. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated Chris Welcome to the forum and welcome to the Philippines! Propane is propane... your gear will work fine here... I had a propane bbq on my yacht that I sailed here. I recharged my propane bottles here and there was no difference except it is cheaper here... However you might find connections are a bit different. I am sure you can get adapters to re-fill if necessary or to adapt to your gas appliance.

I'm sure you can find the right fittings. The Wilcon close to where I live sells the Weber brand. Just don't use duct tape! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly, don't check for leaks using a lighter... Edited October 30, 2019 by Tommy T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Kid Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Couple years ago Wilcon had a pallet of Kingsford bbq briquettes for sale. I bought a bag thinking that my GF would be impressed with imported stuff. Nope. She prefers the wood charcoal that she gets at the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My warehouse job in Chicago during summers from university was throwing Kingsford charcoal into trucks... 20 pound bags... I counted one day that I threw 10,000 pounds of charcoal each day... Ah... those were the days... when men were men and sheep were scared...(but not in Chicago)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum Support Tommy T. Posted October 30, 2019 Forum Support Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Didn't you find it was hard to breathe when your jewels were stuck in the back of your throat because of the cold?... It made it difficult for me to talk... I worked in the same warehouse at Christmas break. I unloaded railroad cars of fireplace logs and road salt... It would be maybe 20 degrees outside and I would be stripped down to my T-shirt and jeans and would be sweating like a pig... probably smelled like one too!!! Sorry... I see we (I) have gone totally and way off topic... sorry Chris... did not intend to hijack your thread... Edited October 30, 2019 by Tommy T.

Gary D Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 As far as I'm aware it's all LPG here as it never gets cold enough to need propane. Should work just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
