Decided to give up the charcoal ghost and go propane. Just bought a
new lp
gas grill and cart. Where's the best place to pick up a tank...and do
most
refill their own or go to one of these swap your tank bins at 7/Eleven
or
Circle K type stores ?

Thanks, Tim

I refill my own. Most of the supermarkets where I live have locked bins
outside of their stores where you can exchange. I don't know how much it
costs to exchange an empty one for a full one, but they're easy to have
refilled.

You actually attach a hose to your empty tank and pump more propane into
it?



No, the guy at the propane dealer does it. You walk out with the same tank
you walked in with, as opposed to the somewhat-more-expensive tank swap
stations at the quicky marts.

That's what happens around here (NY), but the others are saying the
customers do the actual filling. I've never seen that here, so I wondered...
