PattayaMale Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 When I had my household furntiure shipped from the USA I shipped a nice new Weber Stainless BBQ grill. The propane tanks they have here in Thailand and those in the USA must be different becaause the tank requlator for the propane won't connect to the Thai propane. I could cut the hose and try a fit a different regulator I suppose...not sure...anyone else have an idea. The BBQ I brought was a bit expensive so I'd like to use it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weho Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 When I had my household furntiure shipped from the USA I shipped a nice new Weber Stainless BBQ grill.

I could cut the hose and try a fit a different regulator I suppose...not sure...anyone else have an idea. The BBQ I brought was a bit expensive so I'd like to use it. Thanks If it was expensive over in Amerigay, it will probably cost double or triple here... for some reason, they don't manufacture MADE IN THAILAND quality bbqs... I got one, good quality, made in Australia, at the Siam Paragon Department store in bangkok... it was on sale for 17,000 baht... a similar one in Amerigay probably would have cost less than half. I would suggest whoever fits the hose/regulator, make certain, CERTAIN that it is done properly... the way to test, as I recally, is to extinguish all flames, smoking materials, etc... make a watery/soap solution, and put it all along the hose, valves, connections, regulator etc... then turn on the gas, and see if any bubbles come out anywhere... If not, it's a good connection... wipe off the soapy solution, and fire away. There is a bbq store on Tepprasit Road, maybe mid-way down, on the SOUTH side of the street, on a corner, i think with a blue and white sign... maybe they can advise you properly.

Morty Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Buy both the hose and the regulator, that's what I did, and now I have the original model should it ever be needed. PS! They sell the sets at all the shopping malls, and anywhere they sell gas cockers. hope this helps Morty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatguy Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I've been keeping an eye out for a gas grill in the Khon Kaen area, not that i've been searching, but haven't noticed any in the usual spots. (Lotus, big C, global, home pro, gas shops.) anyone seen any up here? also, are the ones seen elsewhere the kind with lava rocks, or the newer ones that don't use them?

BangnaBound Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I have a North American BBQ here in BKK, and the Thai tank was compatible. However, I’ve noticed the there are several other styles of tanks that it is not compatible with. So may be you just need to look around for a different tank.
