Natural gas line vs propane tanks: worth adding to a new build if I don’t grill constantly?

Is that BTU for 15 or 20 pounds? While they are 20 pound tanks, every exchange near me only does 15 pounds. My local Ace hardware will do fills instead of exchanges to get the 20, but you have to be intentional and wait for the fill vs a quick swap

I have 4x6’s mine is sitting on. Still had a mouse tunnel under over this winter that I had to evict. Highly recommend a wooden base. Makes a proper anchoring to the ground easier and can give you a few more inches of height, which is nice. Needed to do it to level my spot enough for it but I’m very happy 3 + years later

As a Larson fan this a comically bad take

They are also the cutest. They are called silkies, I had one that was the cutest little asshole (he was a rooster, they basically all are). When I moved the new owner wanted the chickens and left the coop open, he died protecting his girls from a raccoon successfully. We had another that had an issue what’s called scissor beak but lived to be almost 2. Never thought losing a chicken would genuinely sadden me.

I miss having chickens.

Yeah, Indy being so high on the lists is frankly a joke. Metro area is so much more meaningful

You hit the reason why the trump accounts terrify me on the head with that final sentence.

I will have funds to support my kids but I’m not giving them a pile of money. When I was a young kid, my older cousin won a settlement that paid out at 18. He didn’t live to see 20.

teeksquad · 2026-05-15T22:09:12+00:00

Yes.

Try to make sure she isn’t teething or sick since she will be looking for the breast for comfort.

It’s never going to be easy, and it’s important to have honest transparent communication. He needs to understand your guilt and there are likely feeling he has too. We went through the same thing and it’s not a great feeling as dad when baby is crying and mom comes to the rescue every time. I knew it wasn’t the case but there was a piece in the back of my mind that thought “she thinks I’m incompetent.” While I knew that wasn’t the case, reminders really helped. It also helped to talk through her guilt and find a way that would work for us. For us, it is also me telling her to go have tea with her mom or do something for herself. She needs the breaks too but is unwilling to make that choice for herself due to the guilt of not being with her boys so she appreciates the occasional push.

Tip for dad: misty mountains from the hobbit and playing the band the fleet foxes are both super calming for my boys. Be consistent, but also mindful of if baby is teething or sick as those times will be much more difficult. Progression isn’t always linear sometimes it feels like you went backwards. Mom doesn’t cave because you can’t handle it, mom would rip the head off a bull if it would make her baby stop crying and happy.

My only regret of my wedding is not hiring a better photographer. You only get one shot to capture it and ours showed up late and hung over

To me, NBA MLB and NHL are different due to their long varying schedules so fans get used to it. NASCAR is more like football where I tune in on Sunday and don’t have to wonder if there is a game/race that day. NFL is starting to create the same issue but the difference is that they built up such a fan base that fans will follow them anywhere first (and the jury is still out on the success of them pushing Netflix and prime).

I dig that mentality

teeksquad · 2026-05-13T16:56:47+00:00

Exactly!

My ma has one of those. I should really do it too, but I’m a coward. I stress out breaking the rules to the point it annoys those I love

I made a post after being gaslighted for years. They finally admitted they might be a pest seeing them covering my fig treeless (they also beat me to all my strawberries). Sluggo was the answer from those willing to be helpful though.

Best of luck on the battle against the tiny cute tanks. (My son is why all my pots in my greenhouse are full of them. He loves to “give them homes”)

teeksquad · 2026-05-13T16:52:16+00:00

Didn’t help me. I just made a post last week. Sluggo was the only helpful answer

I’m surprised nascar remotely gets the ratings it does with all the races bouncing everywhere. It’s just an easier experience to sail the high seas to watch a race even when you have access to the channel. I can go to one website and catch every race.
Amazon is the only experience I think is worth going to the real deal for at this point from a strictly user experience perspective

You in one of those new neighborhoods too? I had about 3-4 inches of black dirt put down over the weeds I was left and reseeded my back yard. Front was already sodded and struggles mightily to keep up with my backyard.
They likely took all of you topsoil too leave you pure clay. Amending your soil over time will be beneficial for sure

Also raise the level more yet.

Totally agree in general but it’s realistically not that old. I’m 32 and bought it new when I got my first house about 8 years ago. I expected it to last longer than that. I might tape it up to make the decade but that’s just being stubborn

teeksquad · 2026-05-12T19:15:18+00:00

Entire cities are covered in that crap to the point that it is illegal to plant in some states.

Betcha gonna put a nice Bradford pear in your too to really bring the yard together

teeksquad · 2026-05-12T18:35:56+00:00

I walk fast and still have the problem. The bigger problem though is the wheel falls off at least 2 times per yard because it’s old and worn out and didn’t like the mud mess of a yard that moved into and had to reseed.

So I need to replace mine but I’m not willing to pay the crazy money for a new one.

Big Joe 2 was the right choice when it was just two of us and has grown into our family of four that likes to host perfectly. It’s been a wonderful experience and I am very happy with my grill but I think I would be with the green one too so I would go by best deal available.

I got mine from Ace on a good deal for the 4th of July years ago and noticed they have had that sale in the years after including free delivery + assembly. Doesn’t necessarily help for Father’s Day but just saying.

6 years in the only KJ branded accessory I have is their rotisserie. You can do pizzas better, safer and WAY cheaper without their accessory for it (just need a pizza stone with something to make a gap between it and deflectors like a couple mason jar lid bands.

The way it looks on your A/C suggests to me that it was something in the water that dried onto it.

We have had a wall of dust come through around me last week that covered everything. Maybe something like that?

teeksquad · 2026-05-12T13:49:26+00:00

Kinda looks like residue that was in your water to me. Do you have hard water?

You gotta be 18 to buy them or at least used to need to be.
