I bought the tank at Costco Tuesday morning before I bought the grill (sort of forced the commitment to buy the grill) and had it filled there ($9.99 for 20 pounds of gas). Total cost ~$38. The tank has a gauge on it, so I'll know when I'm low. And WalMart, 1 mile away, has a (Blue Rhino?) tank exchange (~$18) if I ever run out, although I'd prefer to keep my tank and gauge and only pay $10 for the fill. We'll see how it works out.lawgrad91 wrote:You will definitely enjoy it.

When I asked him why he didn't switch over to the spare, he informed me that the spare was dead, too, and he hadn't thought to mention it or get a new one.OZZIE4DUKE wrote:I've gone to the gas side.![]()

Only $98 in the store, and they put it together for me for free. Bought it @2 pm on Tuesday afternoon and was cooking on it at 7 pm.I also bought a "smoker box" and some hickory chips to flavor the meat. Tuesday's NY Strip steak and chicken breasts were excellent!
Wednesday night's pork chops were too (although I didn't use the wood chips on the pork). And it was all so easy and quick! I think I'm going to like this change.

You could get the gas company to put in a permanent line. I have one of those on my deck.lawgrad91 wrote:You will definitely enjoy it.

I encourage you to check with an expert, but if I remember right, a new tank has to be treated a little differently than those that have been used for a while. The way I understood it, a new tank is filled with some type of powder substance, in order to absorb any moisture(condensation) that may accumulate inside it's walls while empty and it should be pressured and then emptied before it's first complete usage in order to clear this powder and not force it through the gas lines of the grill.OZZIE4DUKE wrote:I bought the tank at Costco Tuesday morning before I bought the grill (sort of forced the commitment to buy the grill) and had it filled there ($9.99 for 20 pounds of gas).

Guess my response...
The tanks at Costco say they are "pre-evacuated". They sell 'em and fill 'em by the hundreds at each store, so I trust they know what they are doing. Thanks for the heads up though.captmojo wrote: I encourage you to check with an expert, but if I remember right, a new tank has to be treated a little differently than those that have been used for a while.

I like mesquite. Hickory works well on pork, but mesquite adds good flavor to anything.

New tanks have to be bled. We learned the hard way. We have propane for heat in the mountain house. We bought new tanks, had them filled and the tanks were empty the next day. We've never had that problem with the small tanks.OZZIE4DUKE wrote:The tanks at Costco say they are "pre-evacuated".
