Yeah i have the natural gas hookup on my house with my existing grill so i might as well utilize it. Changing and refilling propane tanks is the suck. I’ve never had a problem heatwise, it just has hotspots out the ass and starts things on fire. ---

I’ve been using a nat gas weber grill for close to 5 years and have never had this issue, it gets plenty hot enough to sear/burn the crap out of pretty much anything same as your typical propane grill. Never running out of gas, or having to deal with swapping propane tanks is so nice that given the option I would never go back. ---

My mom got me epoxy for my garage floor, and my dad is getting me a torpedo heater, and my girlfriend’s mom got a me a round trip flight to NYC so I don’t have to drive down the 25th and drive back the morning of the 27th (very happy about that!)… That’s all I’ll likely get, but they’re great gifts in my eyes and I’m very thankful for them. As far as what I’m giving out, I’ve gotten stuff for my parents, and my girlfriend’s family, but the real big one is I’m taking her to Barcelona for the first week in January. We’re real excited for this… ---
