His barbecue propane tank is empty. Had to pan fry the steak in the kitchen.

That can still work well!

I prefer a cast iron skillet for that.

Autumn's Ace ♠ : Yah...me too. But the only cast iron skillet I have right now is an egg fryer. Not big enough to hold a steak.

Why not convert it to natural gas from propane? Then you could hook it up to the house and you wouldn’t need to worry about propane tanks.

Hank Hill at Strickland Propane could fix you right up!

Swamp Daddy : the tank is semi portable and can be used for other things. My house is not (semi portable).

You move bbq around?

Swamp Daddy : yes. It has wheels .
