(Mary) Hi, Here's a weird question for you; 3 years ago, we bought a used Ducane Gas BBQ (Home Depot - USA) from someone who was leaving Jakarta. It worked fine with one of those little gas tanks for about a year. Then, the pastic nozzle that connected the gas tank to the hose for the grill broke. I ordered a new part from the USA, but when I went to have my handyman put it on, it's nearly impossible to repair! A thin metal shelf over the affected part prevents anyone from getting their hand in there with a wrench to replace the part. And, the screws holding the shelf in place are rusted. Either find someone with a blowtorch to cut a hole in the shelf for a hand to reach in there or what???? I'm not sure this is a BBQ repair job or what. Since it involves gas, I want a professional job so we don't blow up trying to roast a frank. Any ideas? We have a package of Oscar Mayer Franks in the freezer that expire 8/12. We may end up boiling them in water on the stove. Thanks, Mary Lee
Dear Mary Lee, The best suggestion I was able to come up with after I made several phone calls around town is try emailing Mr. Ming at amingpratikno@yahoo.com or calling him directly at 0811868830. He would need to have a look at the BBQ but has fixed several in the past. I hope this helps. LARA
