The Never-Ending Propane Tank: Asian Marinated Pork

Do you remember Willie Wonka and his Everlasting Gobstoppers? Well, I’ve got the propane tank equivalent. We last traded out the propane tank in September – nearly 11 months ago. Granted, we didn’t use it prodigiously throughout the winter (it was freaking cold this year – even if you did live in Florida), but the thing has been near-empty for the last two months. Every time I use it, I assume I’ll have to finish the dinner in the oven when the tank fizzles. But it just keeps going and going (Maybe the Blue Rhino is somehow related to the Energizer Bunny).

  2. OK I'll stop sneaking into your yard and replacing your tank with an exact duplicate. That'll learn ya.

  5. If you dare it enough, it might just take you up on the challenge ;) I don't think that'd be too awesome if it prevented you from making this delicious sounding pork.

    As a propane aside, we have 2 (3 maybe?) of the large tanks an we refill them. Depending on where you live, it's good to have that second tank on hand filled up in case of a disaster (mmm earthquakes). You'll always have the BBQ to cook on and boil water--especially since they last a long time.

  8. Maybe you have a very very nice neighbor that sneaks into your yard and refills your tank in the night...or you have the opposite luck that I have. Our tank is half full then it stops working. Just stops mid-cook so we have to finish dinner in the oven (who likes doing that??) and we take it to get refilled and they tell us it wasn't empty. Hmm, that figures. So maybe you and I can balance things out from now on?? :)
