I am looking for a new 20lb propane tank. One of mine just expired.

Anyone know of a deal in town?

I always bought mine at Costco before I went back to charcoal.

Not sure if they still have them, but Costco had 30lb tanks over the summer. I love mine - fill up less often, and even though it's only 1.5 the volume of a 20lb, I find I can brew about the same amount of beer with the 30 as I can with 2, 20lb tanks.

Alternatively, what I have done in the past is just go to one of the tank exchange places as they rarely check the date. Then you get a new tank!

I got mine filled at rona before and there was no way that it was certified! Try there.

When mine expire, I swap them at a gas station. Nobody ever checks the dates. For like 30 bucks, you could have a full one with years to go on it.

I filled mine at Rona recently and the guy was particular about the date. They also jacked the price way up so it's not longer worth going out of my way. When mine's empty again I'll send it to Costco with one of you members.

I plan on going out Friday if you want to drop it off.

At Costco you pay per pound so it doesn't have to be empty!

If you live on the Dark Side, the CT Gas Bar at Forest Hills charges per pound, too, but the price is better at CostCo. I've come across too many places that charge you for 20lbs, no matter how much they actually put in it.

Costco $39.98 for a full 20lb. $27.99 for the tank and 11.99 for the fill.

They did not have 30lb.
