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!
Review: Tiny but mighty - What a fantastic find! We were ecstatic to find this tank on desertcart as these little guys are not commonplace, they are hard to find in stores. We are RVers and we have a travel size grill that we take along with us. We had been using the small green propane tanks (16 oz) that you can buy in the store, however, they do not last long and it gets to be costly having to buy them all the time. On the flip side, we prefer not to lug around a large propane tank either as it takes up too much room when traveling, not to mention they are larger than our grill. We decided to search for the miniature version of the large tanks as it’s the perfect solution for a travel grill or any other equipment you may be using (lanterns, etc) and takes up very little room. The tank has proven its mettle, it works awesome. Designed exactly like the large ones, they are a mirror image (see pictures). It cost a whole $2.50 to fill it at our local warehouse store, didn't exactly break the bank (may cost more at other places). Talk about a cost savings especially compared to the green tanks in the store that cost $10 for a 2-pack. It does come with a gas gauge which is great as we can track usage. I can’t say enough about this tank, it is truly an outstanding product. We definitely won’t hesitate to purchase again. As far as I’m concerned the price is worth the convenience. Highly recommended!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be use on its side or does it need to be upright?**
A: I am not sure I would think that it would need to be kept upright. 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile, small option for camping.
*by A***N on January 1, 2025*

This rank has more capacity than the disposable store bought tanks for my buddy heater and Coleman stove. Very cheap to fill and with the included gauge I can see how much I have left at a glance. Compared to lugging around a bunch of 1lb tanks this is much lighter to carry around. As functional as a larger tank if need be for a big grill or fire pit in a pinch. Same safety features as the larger tanks as well, good but overall and essential for overlanders and even weekend campers.
