One of the last things to emerge was the Weber gas barbecue. I had already ordered a new propane regulator from a Weber dealer and I attempted to fix it on today.
Why doesn't anything run smoothly? In the back of my mind I suspected a problem cos France always does stuff differently but Weber man said you just screw it on. Wrong, it was totally the wrong size.
You'd think that Weber would build stuff the same for everywhere but no. France will always have its say. I then spent a couple of hours changing fittings which wasn't something I really wanted to do given that you're dealing with gas.
Still, I'll buy a gas bottle tomorrow and let Jan light it, cos she's good at that sort of thing and she doesn't burn as easily as me.
We had the same problem with our weber when we came here! We couldn't believe that Weber didn't have standard EU connections but perhaps it's an EU issue and not a Weber one. After faffing around we ended up paying our gas fitter £10 to get it fixed!
ReplyDeleteI don't really blame Weber. If anything I suspect that France is the awkward one.
ReplyDeleteSorry Alex, it's not France, this time. I have one of these sitting in my shed. We cannot get a regulator to fit it here in North Carolina.
ReplyDeleteHi Barb. What a crazy world. I guess they just want you to buy another.
