Gas bottles

This is the stove that I bought, and like the vast majority of the stoves here, it runs off of bottled propane gas:



So, how do you get more gas when you run out? You stop that gas truck as it drives through the neighborhood:



This truck drives through the neighborhood several times a day, ringing a bell to warn you it is comming.

You know, in two years here, I have only gotten gas from one of these trucks once. Usually when the gas runs out, it is at night, so I have to drive to one of the ADNOC stations that sell propane.
