Automatic Gas Shut Off Valve ?

One of the things we often do is cook steaks on the grill. With people
making noise and hurrying to get the freshly cooked meat into the house to
feed the clamoring natives I have forgotten to turn off the grill a couple
times. With a small five gallon tank that just means by the next mronign
tis emtpy and I have to go to the store for another refill the enxt time I
want to use the grill.

We will be moving soon, and the new house has bulk propane for fuel. It is
plumbed out to the back patio with a gas line for a grill. I just fear
forgetting to turn off the grill and having it run for a couple days. I can
see extreme heat building up and causing all kinds of potential safety
hazards not to mention burning hundreds of dollars worth of fuel.

Does anybody know of a shut off valve with a timer that I could install
inline to automatically shut off the fuel to the grill if I don't reset it
every so often? Say every 30 minutes or something like that.

I think I have seen fire extinguisher systems for restaurant grills which
are also wired into a valve for the gas line. So may want to check companies
which install these systems - maybe can find just the electric valve. Then
make your own timer or ask on the internet what to do.

Ah, an ansul system. Parts for it may be the trick. Hmmm... Anybody got
any suggestions.

After all the help you guys gave me with my alarm system, I figured I owed
something in return so I spent some time googling around. That was the only
one I found with an LP connector. Many others out there but they are for
natural gas only. When you get to be my age, you don't need a bunch of other
people around to forget things.

Me too.
The instructions are written in Japkorlish though.
Good thing 220v is not required.


| Hey...I can use one of those myself.
|
| Thanks for the link.

To Robertm:

NIce, Bob. I notice there are both mechanical and digital models
available. As an avid BBQ cook I'd suggest using the digital version
-- not because it's digital but because it can be set to run longer.
The mechanical unit would be fine for a few burgers but its 1-hour
limit is too short for serious grilling.

To Bob La Londe:

If you'd like some really great grill recipes, let me know. I have one
for roast ham and another for a thanksgiving turkey. Both are
fantastic recipes. The ham involves mango sauce and a side of chutney.
The turkey recipe is equally good in a convection or conventional
oven, but I love the flavor the grill gives it. You need a pretty
hefty gas grill for either of these but if you're going to piped gas
you'll probably have a good size model.

In many towns and cities in GB you have to put money in the meter to run
the gas. Personally I don't see how people there can survive...
Getting up to a freezing house then having to hunt for dimes and
quarters (pence or Euro's) to "feed the meter"... Brrrrrr!!!!
