Steps for properly and safely disconnecting a gas bottle

Post by Dangerous Dave »

Hi again, everyone.

So the new apartment has one of those *hideous* (don't argue with me about this, just don't -- *h*i*d*e*o*u*s*) gas bottle stoves, and after less than a week, everything I own smells and tastes like a bad episode of some trailer-park reality television show.

If you disagree about this, there's a simple reason: It's because you're wrong. If you can't smell that, or it doesn't revile every cell in your body, there is something really, really, really wrong with you, and it's not my problem.

Meanwhile, can someone please tell me how to get this thing the f*ck out of my life without blowing myself up? I own an electric hot plate, which is plenty -- and I just, want, this, acrid, miserable, don't-you-dare-even-think-about-arguing-with-me smell, *OUT* of my life. Apparently I need to disconnect some sort of line between the stove and the bottle, and then get the bottle out safely out of the flat. All guidance will be appreciated.

...Just *don't* argue with me about this. Really.

Thank you. :D :D :D

If it's the big bottle just turn the gas off and disconnect it. If it's a little can just pop it out of the stove.

Not sure whether big or small: It's in a cupboard under the stove, and it stands about 70cm high (twenty inches).

If it came with the apartment, tell the landlord to remove it.
