I got my last ever 9kg bottle ( when I say last bottle, I mean it is the last time I'll be going there) filled up in my local town servo ( 15 km drive into town ) on sat. morning. Cost me fuckin $36.00 :angry-banghead: . That's 7 bucks more expensive than the price in the next closest "big smoke", 45 km away
And they wonder fucking why the locals don't do their shopping locally, fuck, no-one can afford too :handgestures-thumbdown:

Just bought my last gas bottle too...me thinks :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: At 1.7l/hr @ 75% load,me finks it'll work out cheaper.
3x15amp outlets ATM,till it all gets wired up to AS to house and man cave,and quiet as fuk :handgestures-thumbupleft:
I rekon I should be able to get Bertha on the boil pretty quick :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: wonder if I can plug the dearly beloved into it :think:

yeah Mac
I'm glad I'm going electric soon :handgestures-thumbupleft: I'll leave the gas for the bbq, and plan the refills to be done while in the big smoke for other reasons :handgestures-thumbupleft:
