Prices have probably gone up. I paid around $50 to $55 at my local Ace Hardware store and about the same for the other one I bought at a local farm, feed, etc store. But that was about three years ago.

5lbs, I see the bigger sizes available and reasonably priced but they’re too big for my needs. I’m upgrading from 1lb Coleman cans, I don’t like them because they’re not technically refillable and create a lot of waste, also it’s pricey in the long run.
This is probably the way to go, I’m not in a rush so I should put in the work to find them in my area. Good looking out!

The viking tanks do not breve. A 17 lb tank is so nice, get a long hose, leave mounted in truck.
Dayum that looks crazy. I’ll most likely have the tank inside since I have a Wrangler and no rack yet.

If the tank is out of date the refilling station won’t touch it.
yep. a tank is good for 12 yrs from the date of manufacture. you can hydro test and recert them, but that costs nearly as much as the tank and then its only good for 5 yrs after that. on anything that can explode and kill me....i'll probably spend an extra $30-40 and get new. the wife and i spend $60 just going out for a meal and that lasts a few hours...why not spend the $60 on a tank that will last 12 years?

You probably won’t fine a better price, or not enough to make it worth your time.
Thanks man, it helps to get real life experiences. WHat crossed my mind was that since everyone is enjoying the outdoors, some of these items are going scarce and they're blowing up the cost.
Nice! I'm gonna look into this for sure! Rather support a small business than Walmart
