5LB Propane Tanks

[gaspumper]

Anyone looking for 5 lb tanks Madoc Home Hardware has them all ready filled for $47.50,after you empty them any refill station can refill them,tanks are good for 10 years.

That seems pricey?,I know it's convenience,but can't you get a 20lb new and full for in and around that price?.Interesting,maybe my numbers are off.

Supply & demand - 5lb have always been comparatively MORE than 20lb - they make & sell a gazillion times more 20 lb than they do 5lb. That's IF you can find them, not a whole lot of availability which is why many people refill the 1lb ones - and that's a whole other discussion that's been hashed out many times.

And I for one,will not try this practice. Power to those that do and have luck with it.

I don't nor ever have used 5lb tanks. But I can buy a 20lb tank and fill it for $42. so how come 5 pounders are so expensive?

I think you missed the point Brian,who would ever carry a 20lb'r unless they have the means to.I use a coleman stove to heat and cook on the ice.Light and fits wellm in the bottom of the sleigh

Heres my thinking.

 

I would sooner pay that high price,yes as outrages as it may be, and have no answer to why they charge that amount (I can get it refilled safely) and not fill the land fill with green bottles. That,s my answer.

I use a 20 lbr on the ice all winter!

 

..and if you don't like filling 1 lbrs Bri... you could fill 5's the same way ! lol

$47 is pretty much standard for a 5 or 11lb tank. Expensive, yes, but its been that way for years.

I have been using a 5lber for a couple years now. Was a little pricey up front but works great with my single tank top heater and is small and light for transporting in the sleigh.

I am now interested,who sells the tank top burner/heater at a good price?.They screw on the top of the tank I believe and you could put a small pot on top to cook?,if that's what I'm thinking.

[misfish]

I am now interested

 

Say WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

I have a couple if you're interested

Coleman Lantern, Portable Stove, on Kijiji http://www.kijiji.ca/v-fishing-camping-outdoor/markham-york-region/coleman-lantern-portable-stove/1023789241

[Terry]

are they made for 1lb tank or 5 lb tank, as they have different fittings

[quickme]

now that you've mentioned it I think they may be for 1lbs but I'll check when I get home with my 5lb/20lb tank.

Let me know which one it works for,I'd be interested in one .Thanks.

[misfish]

Those are for the 1pound. I have the same ones.

My heater is from princess auto when they were on sale. Ive never tried cooking on it but im sure you could. I just traded my portable shack and buddy heater this summer because i never used them. On the really cold days where i feel like i need a heater i just plunk the tank in the snow and blast the heat right at me. I found that just having the tank top heater made all the difference. Being on the tank its up higher and is just at the right level when sitting. It also works well for keeping ice off of your line when jigging and keeps my hand toasty when tying up a new lure.

[quickme]

the stoves are for 1lbers. It would have been nice for them to work with my 5lber.
