Anybody see who is cheaper Holding Oil Company or Burke Brothers Hardware?

I have been to the uHaul on Capital Blvd and it cost me over $25 to fill a standard tank. I've seen the Rhino tanks at Wal-Mart for $17 but they are only 16 lbs or so, much less than my 22 lbs tank!

I just do the tank exchange bit at Home Depot. It's quick and easy and I can't imagine I'd find it more than a few dollars cheaper by searching around. Not worth the savings for something I do once per year on average.

hahahahahhaha... when i read that i thought "propane and propane accessories"

quality inspection on chatham st. cary & bj's supposedly do it for $12 plus tax

[Edited on April 14, 2009 at 12:17 PM. Reason : but bj's has a different kind of container, so i'd call before going... oh and uhaul does it too. ]

What does a tank + fill run if you don't have your own tank? I have only used a charcoal grill, but I'm about to take the plunge this month and buy a real grill.

I think my tank was less than $25 at Sam's Club and the fill was <$20.

You can also buy one of the Blue Rhino Tanks and get a $20 rebate.
