Hi there,
I'll be living in Shanghai for the next 3 years, starting in June. We are preparing our stuff to be packed up and I'm wondering if I can bring my Weber Summit Gas Grill station to Shanghai.
It's a Grill for the German market running on propane gas from 5 or 11 kg gas tanks. The gas pressure regulator is outfitted for the German market for 50 mbar pressures.

So my question is:
- Is it possible to use this grill in Shanghai from the technical point of view?
- How problematic is it to get gas tanks in Shanghai?
- Will I need an adaptor or even change some parts? If so: does anyone know a good vendor for this?

Did anyone yet go through the same questions?

Happy to hear from you.
Cheers, Florian

This is an usual question. Really.

I would suggest that you put it in storage and don't bring it with you. But, that is just me.

Yes. You could certainly bring it, and yes you could certainly use ti (with some minor modifications), however you will find the culture here quite different from what you are used to. As such, the opportunities to use it would be scant.
