This feature of BBQ is well documented here below:

Ethyl Mercaptan in BBQ Propane

ISOPROPYL MERCAPTAN (PROPANE-2-THIOL)

Some lecture on dryers (note focus on HCFC like R22 !!!):

http://www.heldon.com.au/getattachme...terDriers.aspx

Merkaptanacid not a menice if a dryer in the system.No idea whether dryers significantly decrease performance (W) of the system due pressure drop.
No idea either whether suction line dryer better than liquid line dryer.

Further:

see. .pdf 10/38 (paragraph 4.1)
http://www.hawco.co.uk/UserFiles/MediaLibrary/Zs75s.PDF

RGD. HFC-refrigerants (like R404/410 etc.) ACTIVATED ALUMINA (AlO) seem to be a problem if (=when) it is escaped into the circuit from the dryer.

Also note the "huge" H2O -content (0,2g =200mg !!!) allowed in compressor prior to refrigerant charging!
Compare that figure with my desk calculation!
Horrible!

As far as know the modern circuits use clay-based dryers containing solely zeolite.
