I love my Weber Genesis Silver gas grill. Anyone know if I need to
modify it to use it in the UK or do they use the same kind of propane
tanks?

My buddy just did that when he moved back to the UK. He said all he did was
take off the regulator and install a UK regulator. He is also the envy of
his friends there as a Weber (he has the gold c series) is VERY costly about
3 times the value of one here.

Thanks Larry! I'm excited to hear such great news! I was getting
concerned after hearing about changing out burners and this and that.
Anyway, you can ask your friend where he got the regulator from and how
much it was? Thx again!

He just bought one from like a hardware store. IIRC otherwise it was just
where he got the propane bottle filled. Weber actuall makes the parts but
will not sell them to you here in the US and IIRC in England they wanted to
sell him an entire valve assy for about $500 equiv. So as I said he just
bought a regulator and attached it to the old hose.

I didn't know you could get propane in the UK. I thought they used LPG,
aka Butane over there. Hmm. The idea of spending $1,000 USD to get a
genesis silver B is making me unhappy

BBQ equipment is outrageously expensive in the UK - its a disgrace!

An ECB is about 70-80 quid here - the brinkman gourmet is 105 quid,
which is $194!

I was in the Michigan Bass Pro last week and they were selling ECBs for
$25.

It is necessary to support the Royal Embarrasments. After all, you are

Personally, I'd have the whole Familius Horribilus put up against a wall and
shot like dogs. Or even made to live in a coucil flat in Catford - not sure
which would be worse.

A Weber Smokey Mountain in the UK will set you back around $370 of your US
dollars.....

It's shameful, but I dropped the cash three years ago and nonetheless, it's
been a great investment.

An ECB would be even more expensive, first you buy it and then you
upgrade to the WSM. You saved 70 quid by jumping a step.
