Barbecues are like school
… some assembly required.
.
note: propane BBQs are not sold in Japan … as far as I know, except on American Armed Forces Bases.
I rarely say it … and never during hockey games, but “God Bless the U.S.A.“
double note: I can count on 3 fingers how many propane BBQs are in this city of 50,000 people: 2 at my place and one over at Mr. Pettit‘s.
triple note: sometimes it’s good to know base people.

what I’m listening to now #39: Ben Folds “Rockin’ The Suburbs” … because there’s a BBQ in the video … and I like the song.
I Am The Cheese 
The Japanese people are missing out on America’s contribution to meat cooking… or is it Chinese?
enjoy the BBQ and the giant ice cream rosstopher!
School Assemblies I loved
BBQ ones, not so much
I hope it’s not a pain finding propane.
If you wanna hang out youve got to go out; find propane
If you wanna get down, down on the ground; find propane.
It’s a pain, it’s a pain, it’s a pain, find propane….
Propane…She don’t lie, she don’t lie.
Yeah. Propane…
God bless Pinkard & Bowden.
Bunks Trutts: my water is heated by propane and I cook my food with propane: propane is big in Japan. I like the video.
Thanks for all the comments!
S.Le: many countries take pride in their BBQing … most without our friend propane … for some reason.
sweetiegirlz: the BBQ is still in the box … but Mr. Pettit has his up and running.
bearmancartoons: I agree with you on that one. I’m kind of hoping the BBQ can assemble itself eventually … then we’ll be cooking!
writerdood: yes, propane isn’t something you just go to the gas station for: it’s a controlled substance around here … it’s used in most houses for cooking and heating water.
I sorted this one out 6 years ago … and my friend last week. The problem is the BBQs are made for North American propane tanks, not Japanese ones.
I have an adapter, but we are still trying to find one for Mr. Pettit’s propane tank. Luckily we can share the one we have for now.
That’s a very small BBQ.
Or a very large ice cream cone.
How can a nation survive without BBQ’s??? It’s unthinkable!!!
Maybe that’s why Japan got involved in WW2, they wanted our BBQ’s
Tony: It’s a large ice cream cone.
Japan survives on charcoal BBQs for some reason. I actually like them better than my propane one. … it’s more close and intimate … and lengthy …. and gives me more time to drink beer. 🙂
Charcoal BBQ’s give better flavour too
Tony: tis true, tis true.

Why would anyone want to barbecue propane?
Bunks Trutts: you can’t eat propane, but it’s very convenient when wanting charred flesh … that isn’t really charred … more propanerred.
