Worthless gadgets
I hate those stupid(!!) computer chip embedded keys and the whole concept that you must haul around a remote control to get in the dang car.
I want a key that will fit on the key ring without taking up the space of four other keys and in my pocket without cutting off the circulation.
And how about the old fashioned idea of putting an actual key/lock on the passenger door and the rear hatch? DUH?

Worthless gadgets
Speaking of propane grills.... I have done some reading on what we put in our BBQ's.
Both the wife and I think that propane leaves a "taste" on the food. If the grill is piped into a natural gas line it doesn't seem to leave the after taste.
Turns out that propane is made from oil. Didn't know that. Alway thought it came from some sort of natural gas fraction.
Then I learned that most brands of charcoal is just that... coal....... or at least there is a significant portion of the briquette that is coal. This is not something I want to cook my food on.
Solution? I am trying a wood pellet grill that uses "food grade" pellets. The taste is really improved, but the downside this that it needs 110 volt AC to run, so I still have to figure out what I can do for camping.
Check the link....

Dennis... interesting, that fills in some gaps for me.
The guy who owns Green Mountain Grills is real picky about what he puts in his food grade pellets, nothing but clean hardwoods. Apparently there is also an industry standard to be observed.
They do go on about not using standard heating pellets to cook food. Now I have an idea why.
Frank....... If you grew up around a wood stove in the kitchen, the food from a wood pellet grill will taste real familiar to you.
They call it a grill but it is actually an oven; the food is never exposed directly to the flames. It can function as a grill because you can crank it up and the steel plate between the fire and to food gets red hot.
It makes a fine steak and roasts a very tasty turkey. Someday soon I will bake a pizza in it and even try baking bread.
The units are a bit spendy, but so far I am really liking the food prepared in it.
Dennis.... my pellet stove that heats the house runs very hot, like a forge, due to the air being pumped into the burn pot all the time. I imagine the would take care of some of the left over lubricants and such.
I think you are right about the salt content too, the pellet bag labels carry a "does not exceed" statement for salt content and now I know why.
