I've stored propane for 4 years, no problem. Make sure that the propane bottles are the new style with the coarse thread on the outside of the female connection point otherwise a dealer will not refill them. Store the propane bottles in a dark dry place not in direct contact with a concrete floor to reduce condensation and rust on the exterior of the bottle.The road to serfdom is paved with free electric golf carts. -

I was thinking about propane today, and the thought occurred to me, "What if SHTF and you can't get your cylinders refilled?"
I happened to be wandering through wally world and stopped in front of the shelf containing 50 or so small coleman-lantern sized screw bottles of propane. I thought it might be a good purchase to store some of these, then it dawned on me...what would I do if I ran out of propane? Coleman white gas was completely gone, and even the quart bottles of Kerosene. In that instant I was convinced that propane was not the way to go."Reject the basic assumptions of civilization, especially the importance of material possessions."

That would be a good deal if they are the newer bottles. I believe I saw some that were $32 bucks apiece new and empty. I have two 60# bottles I believe they are and the stuff pretty much is good till the bottle rust away.Originally posted by tracker View PostComment

I recently bought (2) full 20lb er's @ Wally World for $83 out the door. I think they are the Blue Rhino brand you see all over the place. I would stock up on the 1 lb bottles. Last Spring they were $3.74 a twin pack. Last week I checked, $5.76! Cant hurt to have 'em."Lighthouses are more helpful than churches" FranklinComment

Unfortunatly, propane is not allowed in the Shakelford household. If it were, I have lots of cool projects I could do....but alas......Originally posted by voodoo View PostComment

The one-pounders are especially fun to shoot at from distance......gotta provide a nearby ignition source, though ;).

Check out your local gas stations to see if they refill propane tanks. The one above my house will refill my 20# tanks for $13 but it costs $29.99 to switch out at a blue rhino station.Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggie" while picking up a big stick.Comment
