Ah, ok.
It probably comes in both flavors.
Although i haven't hooked a tank up in Cuba in ages, I seem to recall the tank had outside threads. This was a much bigger tank than 20lb's.
Better to cover all your bases.
I will make a note of this since i am planning on bringing a big gaz BBQ to Cuba, next year.
Life would be easier if you just took a barbecue that burns charcoal but maybe they would want to tax that too.. I don't need gas barbecues. The charcoal takes much better!!!
Already received the adapter in the mail... it's exactly as advertised. And yes, gres, better to go with that in my pocket to be safe just in case. Also, you're right, that Napoleon PRO285 TravelQ can be converted to run on natural gas with the optional kit at extra cost.

spazmartindale, I already have a Weber charcoal BBQ there on our terrace in our back patio, but of course that charcoal takes time to get going, and when the electricity goes out in our barrio (as it does often), it will be so much better for my Cuban wife and I to have the luxury of an instantaneous alternate cooking surface as back-up. I agree, I like a good charcoal roasted feast too, but we'll save that now for when we do a whole cerdo on the spit for fiesta.

Having both is great. I'll be building a charcoal bbq big enough for the occasional cerdito or when we have a fiesta and bringing a gas one, which will be our every day cooker.
So what is the selection of good beef and pork there, and what are the prices?
There is no really good beef in Cuba. What little beef there is comes from range cows, not grass or corn fed.
Pork is 1 CUC per pound. While Cuba is metric, all of the scales predate the metric system. Come early in morning and you have you choice of which cut you want. Later in the day one must accept what is left. At least it is fresh since there is seldom any refrigeration.
