If you're ok with using a 20 lb tank, then do that. This deal is for people that don't always need 20 lbs of propane and would rather carry a 5 lb tank weighing 15 lbs vs 39 lbs for a full 20 lb tank.

These are great for hike in camping and also for propane torch (for those that do weed/grass/field burns)

seems to be this price everywhere. $50 at homedepot as well. It's odd to me that the 5lb and 20lb empty tanks retail for about the same cost.

Because the small ones are more niche, thus not as mass produced, thus more expensive

Nice tank size for camping. Easy to get them refilled at Tractor Supply, etc.

This is only a 5lb tank, that's tiny. Normally you can go to Walmart and get a full 20lb tank for $49. Why would you buy this?

You do not own the tanks you get from Walmart tank refill machines (or any tank machine.)

I must not no what you are talking about. What's a tank machine? I have had two Rhino tanks I got from Walmart and Publix for a decade. Nobody has come out and got them. Wink

5 lbs is a good amount for fishing, camping, or overlanding for any weekend activity.

Refills are much more convenient and economical than 1-lb canisters. Plus, you can always find refill locations when traveling, unlike the 1-lb canisters, which can be more difficult to find.

The people saying you own the tank are right, but my filling station checks the certified date stamp and if it's past 12 year they refuse to fill in my state.

Then it's off to walgreens to swap out for a new tank.

This has nothing to do with owning the tank. If you buy a brand new tank and keep it until the certificate is expired then you get the same result!

If got your tank at BJ's then i am assuming you already know this, but BJ's also refills propane tanks and they are cheapest in my area to get them refilled.

Yeah, I now use BJ's as well. My local Costco removed their refilling station.

My closest tractor supply is 30 minutes away and the propane guy isn't there half the time. I switched to the small refillable canisters, more convenient anyways.
