Default Propane tank for the grill

Where can we get a filled propane tank to use with the BBQ? Where can we have it refilled. Hubby looked online and the place we went to was no longer there Thanks for your help.

Ace hardware in Southern Trace will refill. Lowes/Home Depot has a tank exchange.

I get mine filled at Ace Hardware on 466 in Southern Trace Shopping Ctr.

Bonus there is the only charge you for the amount it takes to top it up, not for the full size of the tank.

They have tanks you can buy also.

Hope that helps.

Ladydoc, we go to True Value( or is it Ace?) in Wildwood on 301. They charge by weight, so if it isn't full, you only pay for what is dispensed. Up north, we paid the price to fill it up, as if it was empty.

If you get one of those moving packets from the post office there is a $10 coupon for Ace Hardware. New tank purchase plus fill up was only $37 with the coupon. I also noticed that Walgreens at Colony Plaza had the Blue Rhino rental tanks filled. That's where you don't own the tank but you do have to pay extra for the first one. I believe they were charging $22, back in Maryland I only paid $19 for Blue Rhino, so I guess I'll stay with Ace since with them I actually own the tank.

I get my refills at Ace but when the tank starts looking rusty and the knob gets hard to turn, I go to Walgreen's and swap it for a new Rhino and then start going to Ace again.

Now I know where that rust bucket I got came from.

I believe Ace in La Plaza Grande will fill tanks. Also, Blue Parrot RV Park on CR 25 on the East side of the historic area will fill tanks.

That's a good price for TV.

I paid $13.82 last month here in the Norcal superboonies (aka BF Eqypt).
