Review of Propane Cylinder (10052.3)

Customer Ratings:

If you are an average-joe propane user, acquaint yourself with the term "quick connect" before buying this product. To me this meant that you didn't need a wrench to remove the hose. Wrong... A quick disconnect is akin to a fitting on an air compressor. I have no idea how you will get this tank filled if you buy it. To compound an already confusing description, they added "Customers buy this item with Mr Heater F276172 1-Pound Disposable Propane Tank Refill Adapter by Mr Heater $14.59". I can tell you that this Adapter will not work on a tank with a quick disconnect.

I took my complaint to the vendor who's response was "tough luck, chump", Amazon does the pictures and descriptions, it ain't our fault or problem. They're sending me a regular tank which was $4 more but I'm still out an extra $14 in shipping.

I like the tank but the transaction has been painful.

If you have an older Weber Performer Grill with the 5 lb refillable tank, this is the exact replacement for it. It was identical to the orifginal tank which also made by Manchester Tank Company.

I looked at a local Hdwe Store that filled propane tanks and they had the quick release to make a standard 5 lb tank fit but it was $20 in addition to the standard tank at the same price as this one and the handle portion was more rounded and may not fit in the bracket that holds the tank in the grill.

For other quick release applications, make sure you know what you are getting and price any adapter you may need before ordering. (DON'T RELY ON THE PICTURE FOR ACCURATE VIEW OF QUICK RELEASE) This tank has the quick release built onto the valve and does not have standard tank fitting shown.

Prompt shipping from Grady's Online and I had it in two days in St Louis, MO with no problems.

If you plan to use this for a Coleman camp stove, it's very difficult to find adapters to make it work. I've gone to two specialty propane stores and still no luck. Beware of buying this online.

The 5LB. tank on my older Performer Grill finally had to be replaced this year. This tank is the exact replacement for the original tank. Same quick disconnect fitting and fits the hanger in the grill perfectly.

I have the original Weber One Touch Performer grill. My original tank valve locked up and this is the perfect replacement for it. Except its build and finish appear to be higher quality than the OEM tank, which lasted for about ten seasons. This one should last even longer than that.

I originally tried to use a 20lb tank, but trying to find the right hoses and adapters became too difficult (and expensive). So, if you also have one of these grills, save your time and get one of these!
