I had some friends over for dinner. I had made a wonderful Thai
marinade and had the chicken breasts soaking in it all afternoon.
Got the rest of the dinner together and lit the gas grill to let it
heat up.
When I went to put the chicken on the grill.....no heat. I was out
of propane. I thought there was enough for one more grilling. I was
wrong.
So I had to bake the chicken off in the oven. I was SOOO
disappointed. It was good,
but I missed that wonderful grill flavor.. a lot.
This morning I lugged my tank down to where I buy propane and filled
it up. I saved
some of the marinade and have some thighs soaking in it right now.
I'm going to grill them off for my lunches this week.
Nothing like having a nice dinner all ready to go and ...no gas.

Yeah. I've run out of gas in the middle of grilling. No big deal.
Went to the prop store, got some more and continued.

It was too late by the time I saw we were out of propane to go get
more. I had to make do with the oven.
What really hacked me off is that I have a back up tank....but it was
empty too!

Well, console yourself that you still had a pretty good tasting meal.
Not exactly what you wanted, but in life, we don't always get what we
want.

Hope you filled the back up one also...
Another reason I like to use charcoal!

I had to do the breasts in the oven last evening. One thing I forgot
to mention was that since I was going to do them on the grill I
pounded them to an even thickness so that they would cook evenly.
Anyway....I reserved the marinade and soaked the thighs for about 3
hours and just finished them on the grill.
Now THIS is how the chicken was SUPPOSED to taste. They are really
good.
Here's a picture of the thighs, I didn't take a picture of the
breasts.
This makes a lot but I was going to use it for a lot of chicken. So
if you want you can halve the recipe.
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 small bunch fresh cilantro (soap haters can leave it out)
2 T minced fresh ginger ( I used a bit less because I find ginger to
be sharp tasting)
2 T minced fresh garlic ( used more cause I like garlic)
2 T Sambal (or any Thai style chili paste)
2 T Tamari (or soy sauce)
2 T Olive oil
1 tsp sesame oil
2 T brown sugar
I used my stick blender to make this into a slurry, and put the
chicken in a gallon zip lock with the marinade, massaged it well to
coat everything, and let it rest.
Started the grill on screaming hot, put on the chicken and turned the
grill down to med-low. Let it go
5 minutes, turned the thighs over and let them go another 5 minutes.
Thighs don't take very long because they are small and not very thick
and I didn't want to overcook them to dry.
So, the end of the story is better than the way it started....happing
ending !!

Worse.... about two years ago I was making Tandoori chicken for a friend who was visiting from Texas. My tank was empty. My spare tank was empty. I had bought a second tank so that I would never have to worry about running out of fuel. I should learn to take the empty for a refill immediately because once I start using the second tank I forget about the first one.

I don't understand how people get "grill" taste from cooking on a propane grill. What, Alan, you just want to be able to say you cooked it outside? My father had a gas grill. As far as flavour goes there was no discernible difference from cooking inside, really. I'm a charcoal grill gal all the way.
>> Nothing like having a nice dinner all ready to go and ...no gas.

Nope. This is why I prefer charcoal. You can easily tell when the bag is almost empty and you go to the store to buy more before your guests arrive. Not to mention when you cook over hot coals the food actually tastes like it's been grilled. JMHO.

From grease dripping and incinerating on the lava rocks?
Cabela's sells a nice holey SS box for the grill (whatever fuel) that
you can stick wood flavor chips into. They slowly smoke as you cook,
flavoring the meat just like charcoal.

What kind of inside cooking? Outdoor gas grilling is a lot like indoor
broiling, but it's way different from roasting.

(Right now, our Bradley Smoker is running with a 14 pound brisket, two 9 pound pork shoulders and because there was room, 3 turkey drumsticks)
After years of messing around with charcoal grills, I bought a gas grill and have never gone back.
1) Taste... sorry, but when I grill something like a steak, it isn't on the grill long enough to get any kind of discernible wood/charcoal fuel taste.
2) Grilled food derives tastes not from the fuel but from spices and marinades and the smoke that is formed when drippings hit the heat source. That happens more efficiently on a gas grill. (there are metal bars or "lava" rocks that do this... without getting ash on your food)
3) Control... far easier and raster to control the heat on a gas grill. I love people who use a squirt bottle of water/beer/etc to cool down a charcoal fire. The resulting steam and ash deposits on the food is oh-so-delicious!
4) Convenience... Turn it on, 5 minutes to heat, cook, turn it off. No time consuming fire starting and cleanup.
5) No wasted fuel... and gas is a heck of a lot cheaper than charcoal.
Se we have the best of both worlds... if we want smoked flavor, we have a smoker. if we want grilled food, we have a gas grill.

I never have that problem anymore, my Weber is plumbed to a 500 gallon
propane tank that's on automatic delivery... and my bulk propane
grilling costs less than half of what you pay for fill-ups. If you do
much grilling, and don't need propane for cooking/heating, you really
ought to check into getting a 100 pound propane cylinder set up.
I know nada about gas, but I did have a neighbor who every so often
would be seen behind his place hooking up a new tank during the supper
hour. Can this be done ( spare on hand) with your system?
I'm sure the guests didn't mind a bit, but i know how it feels to have
some thunder stolen.

This old house is piped for natural gas in every room. We're going to build a deck/screen room in the back maybe next year and I will pipe natural gas out there for the grill. Now, I have a spare tank of propane for when the current tank runs out.
Sheldon... we are also thinking of putting in a gas-powered emergency generator some time down the road. The folks across the street have one and it is great. Power goes off, generator comes on. Minimal yearly maintenance.

Charcoal in of itself imparts no flavor whatsoever (zero), unless you
use briquittes, then you may as well marinate with diesel. Real
charcoal has no more relationship to wood than 10W-40 has to
dinosaurs. Gas grills impart flavor exactly the same way as charcoal
grills, by fats dripping onto the hot surface of coals or lava racks
or hot metal. For a wood smoke flavor both methods require smoldering
wood chips... or cook over a wood fire, not charcoal. People who
swear by lump charcoal over gas are performing mental masturbation.

Or, for people who don't live in the boondocks, do what a friend did
and get a natural gas line plumbed out to your grill. (Outside gas
lines were not uncommon back when this area was all orchards, because
trying to can fruit inside during summer heat and humidity was
considered a form of insanity.)

Well. If I had a backyard I might consider a charcoal grill. I live
in a condo and my grill is on my deck.
I am not going to use charcoal on a wood deck. I don't want to take
the chance as well as I don't want to deal with the mess and cleanup
of a charcoal grill on a deck that is not on ground level.
The lava rocks do a really nice job of smoke and I do add wood chips
for things that I want to impart smoke flavor on. There is a
discernible difference in cooking on a gas grill that doesn't have the
lava rocks and one that does. I really like mine.
You guys can do charcoal, and you can tell me I'm wrong. I do what I
do for a reason and I think my methodology produces very good
results. At least those people who eat my food seem to think so.

Lump charcoal is no more wood than 10W-40 is dinosaurs... and my 500
gallon propane tank has a fuel gauge, but still it gets filled
automatically, it's never less than half full. Regardless which fuel
food will only taste good if one keeps their entire grill scrupulously
clean... with a sooty grease encrusted grill one may as well use
briquittes and lighter fluid.

You know what would be neat.... a taste test. Set up a gas grill and a charcoal grill. Cook something that is uniform... like hamburgers, and have a blind taste test to see how many people can tell the difference.

My house doesn't have the option of mains gas, so the cooktop is run on propane. There are two tanks out back with an automatic changeover valve connecting them. When the first one is empty, a red flag pops up and the valve seamlessly switches over to the other cylinder. I check for the flag from time to time; when it appears, I call the local dealer, who comes by with a new cylinder, and removes the old one.

I know the feeling. Cooking inside on the grill pan is easier and I
don't have to trek outside to do it.
> >> Nothing like having a nice dinner all ready to go and ...no gas.

I never know how much gas I have, and the uncertainty is such a turn
off that I don't use the gas bb - ever. I see that Cost Plus World
Market now sells those gas pressure gauges for $20, but I probably
won't get one because although my gas grill is rarely used - the salt
air has done a number on it anyway and my son tells me it should be
replaced. I'd be wasting my money if I bought a gauge for it because
I want to replace it with a charcoal grill - not gas.
