Hey Lula, how ’bout we kick off a new project—buildin’ a backyard grill from scratch? It’s a great mix of hands‑on work and tasty results.

Sure thing! First step: grab an old propane tank, some cut‑off piping, and a cast‑iron skillet. We’ll turn that skillet into a grill grate, rig the propane to a sturdy bracket, and fire it up. Let’s get that fire breathing.

Good! Now pick a flat, sturdy piece of wood for the stand—about the size of a porch floor board. Lay the propane line on it, hook up the regulator, and line up the skillet over a metal plate for the grate. Once the pipe’s sealed tight, light the propane with the pilot torch and let the skillet heat up. Keep an eye on the flame, and when it’s steady, you’re ready to toss in the first coals. We'll get those sizzling vibes rollin' in no time.
