Night and day the difference between a cheapy gasser and a Weber.
I am not a collector, but I do have a small collection.

This is the "gasser" section, no need to defend/justify getting one   ;D

always good to have a gass grill in the stable. sometimes a click to start the grill is easier than lighting charcoal.

Actually, the side burner on my Genesis is what I use to light my charcoal.....So for me, it is a click to start charcoal. :D

Got my grill today, looks great. Some of the LP tanks I have would not fit the hanger used for a gas gage. Have one that's OK. Its hard for me to lift the tank on to the hanger. Any suggestions?

Did you loosen the butterfly nut as much as possible and move the little flap/latch  ?

Yes, the problem was lifting it up on the lower lip

I've never messed with this grill, just seen pictures of it.  I'm presuming that when you slide the tank into the bottom of the grill, it's dropping down into the hole and you are having trouble lifting it up high enough to get it on the hanger.

If that's the case, put a piece of wood (like a 2 x 4) across the hole.    Maneuver  your tank into the bottom of the cabinet and onto the 2x4.  aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalet it rest there while trying to seat the collar of the tank on the hanger.

Found reviews of this grill and the loading of the tank is documented as a PIN

I'm sure you will find that the Weber is much better.  My friend went thru a bunch of other brand gassers and then I got him a great deal on a Weber gas with a cover for it and it has been over a year now and he loves it.  No rust and with the simple cover on it looks like brand new.  He uses it 3 to 5 times a week and its never missed a beat.
