Just saw this online today after searching their store for 40# propane tanks. I'm tired of getting raped $15 for a 20# fill.

How is that going to change your propane cost and small tank issue?

I did find out that costco does fills for $10 on 20# and need to ask what they charge for a 40# or 100# fill. I think a 100# tank would be a pain (hand truck) but a 40# can be carried.

The outdoor cooker from costco I thought could be a low cost option for someone. Not sure if it's a viable option though.

Ben's RV in York, PA does 20# refills for $12 and I believe BJ's Wholesale club in York used to do them for $9.

Someone did a pretty complete writeup & comparison on Propane prices a while back. Seemed the general consensus was that getting a bottle refilled was a much better value than exchanges.

My local hardware store just charged me $17 to fill a 20 lb. tank. That makes your $15 seem like a pretty good value.

Search the forums for that thread - there was lots of good info on it.

Raped? Try Blue Rino in the S.F. bay area with the 3 1/2 to 3 5/8 gallon fill with these new valves with the fill float limiter POS a EPA thing. A exchange bottle costs $23.95. At $6.60 a gallon this is a expensive way to brew vs electric. The 50# bottle just for the BBQ.

I didn't intend this to be a propane cost thread. whoops. I guess propane price raping is all relative. When I can pay $10 for a 20# refill and the local places charge $5 more I feel ripped. Then if I had a 40# or larger tank the propane is a bit cheaper still. Plus less time heading to the fill station lugging tanks around.

The Lancaster costco fills 20# for 9.99. Don't know if the h-burg one does propane yet.

They had curbside pickup tuesday, this included bed frames aka brew stand, computers, I grabbed two that work plus only one 3 cu/ft cube dorm fridge plus a 1,100 wqt microwave that looks like new. All items work. The on switch contacts inside the microwave were welded closed so it ran all the time a simple fix and my shop microwave now. There was enough iron to build many brew stands if angle iron was in your build vs square tube.

What's the height difference between the tiers that would be my main concern.
