Review: Great tank - Nice Review: Convenient & Easy To Transport Compact Tank With More Capacity Than 1lb Bottles - This is a very nice, and extremely handy compact propane tank. I got this primarily to use with a Blackstone 22” portable griddle. I have used it on several car camping trips and several football game tailgates. The tank’s smaller size, and lighter weight is so much easier to transport and haul around compared to a conventional 20lb tank. It has enough capacity to do 3-5 large meal preps on the Blackstone. I have also used it to run a Mr. Buddy portable heater (2 nights use on low setting, and still had gas leftover), and with a fish cooker to fry a turkey. After hauling around and wrestling with large 20lb tanks for years, this small tank is a dream to transport and still provides enough capacity for convenient short term use for all my needs. It has robust construction, good quality valve, and the included gauge makes monitoring the gas level easy. If you are looking for a handy, smaller, lighter, & easier to transport option than a 20lb tank, with more capacity than 1lb bottles, this is a perfect size and must have. I’m considering buying a 2nd one for convenience and back up. 5 stars! ## Features - NEVER RUN OUT OF PROPANE: Our built-in gas meter gauge provides accurate gas level readings - EMPTY TANK: Pre-purged vacuum ready for filling with propane; built from high-grade welded steel and powder coated for rust prevention - OVERFILL PREVENTION DEVICE: Comes with an OPD valve to prevent overfilling - SAFETY: X-ray and hydrostatic tested and DOT and Transport Canada certified so you can be sure to transport safely both in the US and CA - PORTABLE with easy to hold collar makes it a perfect buddy for camping, ice fishing, and other outdoor activities.

It is quite small, so it fits into small places. It’s perfect for my grill and fire pit. I’m always a bit leery tipping it onto its side. You might contact the manufacturer. **Q: Does anyone make a stabilizing base for this size tank (to prevent tipping during transport)?** A: I have never tried to find one. I always just pack it in between my gear and it stays in place nicely. **Q: What's the width of the top?** A: The handle on the top around the valve is the same as a standard 20# propane cylinder (6 3/4" diameter) . The tank itself is about 8 to 8 1/2 inches in diameter (harder to measure that). **Q: Is this ready for filling up propane? Because 1 of the comment its say no Vacuum** A: Mine was all set up for filling when I got it. It’s a perfect little propane tank. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tank *by B***R on 13 April 2026* Nice ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Convenient & Easy To Transport Compact Tank With More Capacity Than 1lb Bottles *by T***R on 12 November 2025* This is a very nice, and extremely handy compact propane tank.
