NEW DANGER DISCLOSED
Reviewing the Seller's Disclosure Statement, which is a six page document in Missouri, I always pay attention to the Hazardous Substances portion. This covers Lead, Asbestos, Mold, Radon and Methampetamine.
Quite frankly, dealing with substantial middle class sellers, I have yet to see anyone check the Meth box. I know it is a problem everywhere, and Shell Knob, MO is not exempt from individuals involved in this nasty drug, but now we apparently have to be aware of a severe danger at our bbq grills!
According to State Representative, David Sater, Meth cooks are stealing portable propane tanks from refill stations such as Wal-Mart and Krogers, emptying the propane and refilling them with anhydrous amonia, which they need to make meth.
So how does that affect us backyard cooks? After using the tanks, they may exchange them back at these same refill stations where they are recycled and consumers then get them.
This is extremely dangerous as anhydrous amonia is very corrosive and weakens the structure of the tank - the reason they exchange them. It can become even more dangerous when mixed with propane and hooked up to our grills, etc.
Representative Sater suggests the propane tank be inspected for any blue or greenish residue around the valve areas. If found, refuse to purchase that one.
