Got the barbie out this morning : Gas cylinder weighs a ton - feels half full: But gauge says empty.
I can hear the gas sloshing so I'm sure there's enough for a barbie but decided to not take a chance and get a full cylinder. No chance, everybody sold out and 'expecting a delivery tomorrow'.
Now I never normally buy retail but go to main Calor bottling plant less than a mile from my house:(I have had an account for 30+ years)
Went online to check current price to find that Main Calor Bottling plant has no cylinders and can't even do refills: In fact is now 'closed to public without an appointment.'
High demand due to Covid/Staycations/holidays/nice weather etc etc.
So I'm going to take a chance and assume the gauge is faulty (Never needed gauges in the past, gas content judged by weight/feel and audible 'slosh'.)
Wish me luck: will keep oven on standby.......................
