The other day, hubby went out to grill. Damn, the gas was empty even though we had just had the propone filled - hubby thought he turned off the gas, but figured he must have forgotten. Cook via the stove top grill pan instead and didn't think about it.
So this beautiful weekend, we go get the propone filled. Hubby tries the grill again and for some reason the gas won't light. He begins checking throughout the grill and notices that the grill panels or brickets (to be honest I'm not sure what it was), but they were turned around so as to block the gas from entering where it needs to in order to be lit.
Now, granted last time grilling, hubby may have had a beer or two, but certainly where he wouldn't have moved crap around within the grill.
And now I'm worried - did some one purposedly tamper with our grill? Could this be dangerous? I told him to make sure he unhooks the propone so we don't have some one turn on the grill to release the gas again.
@Linkat,
prolly shouldn't have started asking questions about the landfill, huh...
how fast can you pack and move?
@Rockhead,
Well the grill thing was actually before my landfill question
@Linkat,
but they've seen you watching.
if they were really upset, your brakes woulda had trouble all of a sudden...
Is there someone handy and sober nearby that might be able to peek at the grill and see if it is repairable?
@Rockhead,
Oh - it works fine - we just needed to flip whatever was moved to block the gas from entering.
And the ribeye was fantastic.
Do you think it was a prank or is someone like Large Louie after us?
@Rockhead,
Oh and my husband did have to replace his brake pads.
@Linkat,
someone took his brake pads?
that sounds more like ninja's than Louie...

I understand IPads are not such a good solution.
@Rockhead,
Hey I haven't thought of that - I just thought they were worn down.
Now I am going to be looking over my shoulder where ever I go.
@Linkat,
I'm thinkng someone told the neighborhood kids they could get high sniffing propane.
Find any bodies in the area?
@Linkat,
I'd lean more towards an accident. I don't know where your grill is located, but if the neighbors hit it with a basketball (for example) and knocked it over, they might have attempted to right it and installed the pieces incorrectly. As a prank, malicious or otherwise, flipping the grill inlet is pretty weak.
@engineer,
Louis was in ATlantic City the whole Easter weekend. He took his mother to the casinos
Whose idea was the grill in the first place?
I suspect your property is built on an ancient Indian burial ground and the spirits are tampering with the grill.
@NickFun,
Dadburn critters. Can't trust 'em no how.
My brickets shift everytime I move the grill, like when the lawn mowers move it.
@roger,
nope but we are grilling tonight.
@engineer,
Unlikely - but always possible just that actually besides us, no one plays out back where we are.
@NickFun,
Well that makes the most sense of all. I don't doubt they built on an Indian burial ground and they told us it was a rock quarry
