Gas bottle question. No not Dave

[SCTigerCock 171]

We recently bought a Weber 200. Thinking of buying a 4.25# LP bottle, vs carrying the 1# little cylinders.

Does a 4.25# bottle carry a full 4.25#s?

I've read a gallon of LP is ~4.25#s. But I've read bottles are only 80% filled. So would it only be filled with ~3/4 of a gallon?

I'm trying to figure out how many 1# bottles, this 4.25# will replace.

Thanks!

I carry a 20lb cylinder with a hose that has2 connections on it. I use one for the grill and the other for the outside camp stove. I also carry a couple of small cylinders in case I am only setting up overnight. The 20# lasts all summer and s refillable for $10 instead of the buying $30 worth or more of small cylinders.

I'm sorry I can't follow all that math. What Marilyn and I did is get a conversion hose from Camping World, put a 20# tank in a milk carton (so it won't roll around) and we're set for 2-3 months. What happened to Busch??? :clint:

I put an adaptor on one of the 30 lb tanks on the trailer and use a 16 ft hose to the Weber.

Did you remove the regulator from the Weber? Or are you tapping into the 30 lb tank before the regulator?

And Genia, I'm offended by your thread title. You owe me some scotch. :clint:

Tap in before the regulator.

OK, to explain.

I would love to just carry our existing 20# tank. However it won't fit in any of our limited storage areas. It's to tall.

So 4.25# in storage, small bottles, or get a trailer hitch platform to carry the 20# tank.

I vote for platform. But Tony is worried about being worried about it being tied/secured.

Our generator is LP, so tapping off the LP tank isn't an option. We dry camp at some races, do want to reserve LP for generator and frig.

And Dave, you resemble the thread title.

But Scotch anytime you want.

That is what I do
