Flameking Portable Ready to Fill Empty LP Propane Gas Cylinder Tank

Great size!
If you plan to use it for your patio BBQ, than maybe a 20# tank is what you want. But if you’re planning to use this for camping or tailgating, than the 5# is perfect. It is so much more portable than a 20# tank and won’t run empty on you like a 1# tank. It is definatly the best of both for me.
I did have some trouble getting it filled the first time. It was suggested that I return it due to a “defective valve”. I googled “trouble filling propane tanks”, and learned that the OPV can stick in the full position. This was probably a consequence of shipping. My tank responded to a bump (rubber mallet) as suggested. When I took it back, it filled up with no trouble. This problem is probably not unique to this manufactur or even this valve design but appearently, it does happen.
The date stamped on my tank was 11 months old when I received it – in case you’re wondering. Not a big deal today, but I’m sure it’ll matter to me in 11 years. Wouldn’t it be nice if the price was prorated, kinda like the discount on day-old bread.
BTW, my local U-Haul filled it up with 1.2 gallons for just $4.32. Not bad.

This thing is great for my portable grill. I live in an apartment and didn’t want to carry around a 20 lb gas can.

Well made. But I’ve had it filled three times by different stations, and each time it takes 1.7 to 1.9 Gallons…Not 1? Works great for little BBQ.

The days of lugging 20 lbs of propane and weight of the tank are over. I have this for my portable gas grill and it’s way easier so I take it more often. 5 lb capacity is plenty. Ask your propane place how much to fill though-mine ripped me off charging me almost what a 20 lb costs to fill. They do it by size, not be weight of propane. So go to a place that sells by the pound. I thought mine did. But I won’t go again-I bought a high pressure fill line so I can refill it from my 20 lb myself.
