Every time I had to refill my propane tank, I asked myself why we keep carrying this old rusty piece of steel around. It stain the carpet of the trunks, falls, hurts our hands, etc... Not civilized at all. We don't do that with anything else! So I went over the Internet (yes, I buy a lot of things over the Internet) and started looking for new solutions. Among some different options, although non-corrosive,this Lightweight CoMet Cylinder for Propane seemed the best looking one and has a protected steel core.
I got it 2 days after ordering it. The empty weight is unbelievable (around 10lb). Went with it to the local filling station and had no problem to fill it. The filler was amazed with it. Handles are extremely comfortable. The valve has the same connection and all the safety features as the normal propane cylinder valve, so no problem connection to my grill. In addition, there is a level gage on the valve handle that turns fully green (from red) when filled and when used on the grill. I assume it is going red when the propane is down.
As it has a wider base, it just doesn't fall during transport.
Comparing with my old steel cylinder, the only disadvantage is the quantity of propane you can fill which is lower, but I really don't care when you take into consideration all the troubles with the old steel cylinders
Nice product!
