BBQ restrictions?

Are there any propane grill restrictions in the apartments around Osan? One apartment I lived at in Virginia has some fire code restrictions. I'd hate to ship it over and then not be able to use it.

Thanks,
Brad

Well...obviously, you can't ship the propane tank over there, and that might be a bit of a pain to get a new one. I'll have to check into it when I get there next month and I'll let you know. I'm from Texas, so there's no freakin' way I'm going to make it a year without BBQ!

Sell your tank now at the Garage sale.- bring the BBQ. Don't know of any restrictions in Korea. If you live on Post or Base the rules may vary!

Re: BBQ restrictions?

A word of caution. Gas stoves that use bottled natural gas must be modified to use "city gas" and vice versa. Also, everyone should consider installing a carbon monoxide detector in their home. I am speaking from experience of what can happen if you don't.

Re: BBQ restrictions?

Good words, Jim! Iv'e never seen bottled Natural Gas, but heard of it. Here in Korea we are talking Propane. I used to be a unit safety officer here, and built a carbon monoxide detector to check member's homes. The military makes sure apartments rented to members have smoke detectors. It is a great idea to have Carbon Monoxide Detectors also! Even at $35, they are definitely something to have in a rented home!

Re: BBQ restrictions?

I made a mistake - I meant Propane (King of the Hill type). In 98, I purchased a gas stove at the Osan furniture store. My old apartment used Bottled propane and apparently the stoves sold on base are/were designed for "city gas". I really don't know the major difference but,
I had to have the jets changed in order to use the stove. May be different now but I would ask the question if I either shipped a gas appliance or purchased one in Korea.

Recently, I lived in a new 68 pyong apartment in Seoul. To our suprise a silent killer also lived in the apartment with us. For about two months we had chronic exposure to CO resulting in serious medical problems. Invest in a CO detector NOW!! if you care for your and/or your families health.

I've seen the propane tanks for grills at the BX on Osan. You shouldn't have a problem finding one.

68 pyong? That's not an apartment, that's a palace.
