He's Got the Midas Touch ... Not So Much

Val and I figured that Monday night might be the last chance we get this season to cook out on the grill, so we had salmon steaks ready and I went outside to light the propane grill.
I opened the propane tank valve, turned the two lighter knobs on high as the instructions state, and placed the ignitor tip inside the hole on the side of the grill for lighting things. Instead of a big propane-igniting "whoosh" that usually occurs, I got a much more subdued one, but checked and saw at least one burner working and assumed the rest were, and went back inside to prepare our side dish (coconut and curry rice).
Val, being the grillmaster in the Dunne-Hosey Estates, went outside to check the grill to see how close the temperature was to being ready to cook, and from inside the kitchen I noted her checking the propane tank, and the grill, and then saw her soulders sag. You guessed it, the tank was empty.
We then decided to cook the salmon steaks inside, but Val could not get the igniter to work to get the gas oven working; a few blue words may have escaped her mouth. I then tried, and after several attempts and changes of settings, got the oven started and then almost dropped the dish with the salmon in it.
Finally, 30 minutes later than normal, our food was ready, but we both agreed that it tasted much better being cooked on the grill.
