Speaking for myself, I scrupulously returned the theme of each post back to the propane use while camping, the benefits of using your 20 lb. propane tank to fill 1 lb. bottles for use on Coleman stoves, and the availability of propane in the Carson River Valley, not to mention, nice campgrounds at which one could use his economically purchased propane.  

Thread drift, there was no thread drift for the thread drift police to bust.  Ermm

Dayton is a wonderful place in the shadow of the Sierra Nevada and only an hour or so from wonderful high Sierra camping, May to early Oct. that is.  

The gutter?  How so?  We are proud of our brothels [notwithstanding the off topic police].  They make a real financial contribution to the community and help keep our taxes low.  The girls even march in the Nevada Day Parade in Carson City.  

So, pack your bags and come on out.  We are just getting into really nice weather and the mustangs are getting spunky as the mares are driving the stallions wild with their coquettish tail swishing.  In another few weeks the snow will be melted enough that the high mountain campgrounds are going to start to open and the campsites are just the right size for a Pod.  You can cook with propane from Mound House and/or have a nice fire in a fire ring.

We are getting a little off topic, but one of my friends has a neighbor who works at the Bunny Ranch as a grounds keeper and he says they don't use propane for cook outs, only the best quality charcoal.  Big smile

As for Dayton, sadly all the brothels for Lyon County are located in Mound House, just to the west of us.  It's closer to the California customers, so we don't have to deal with the traffic.  That's why we only need 2 stoplights.  We did have a ballot measure brought by some east coast do-gooders to close the brothels down.  It lost by over 75%.  Mound House shares a zip code with Dayton.

And there are two places to buy propane in Mound House, not counting the big propane distribution facility that only sells wholesale.  Now we're back on topic.  Geek

True offgrid, I know about island living since many moons ago part of my youth was spent growing up on the island of Chincoteague, Virginia. When a trip to a real "town" was about 40 minutes away to Pocomock City or over an hour away to the really BIG city of Salisbury, Maryland where they had a Monkey Wards! (Montgomery Wards to those young folks who don't know). And there was no Amazon then but we did get daily mail delivery unless the draw bridge got stuck open which it was known to do every now and then. Wink

If you have a Costco or BJ's near you, some of them have propane available. In Raleigh, NC, Costco is less expensive than BJ's. Both charge by the gallon. In Wake Forest, one place charges the same price no matter if you start with an empty tank or a partially filled tank.

TSC, Southern States, the local gas company, most feed stores, including the one in my little one horse town... here, it's not hard to find a place that fills and charges by weight.. I like very much that I can take a half full tank over and get it topped off for $6-7... We never leave home without all tanks topped off. No matter if we only use a couple pounds, or empty all three tanks, I just pop by and get them filled when I get a chance..

While I don't use TSC very often, it's in town, 20 miles or so.. I have if I was going to be going by it.. currently $2.79 a gallon. But I am at the feed store almost weekly.. so.. they are +/- a nickle or so on price with TSC.. I can, and do, live just fine with that.

Furpod, if I could buy propane as cheap as you can and used as much grilling as you do I'd make the same decision. As it is I don't use very much and the price of a cylinder swap is pretty high here so the convenience of just setting the grill on the picnic table and turning it on outweighs the cost saving for me. There is one place within an hour of me that will refill my cylinders and they charge....exactly the same price as the 4 or 5 places I can swap Thumbs Down]]> Sat, 06 Apr 2019 01:49:28 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12730&PID=122562#122562 Propane Grill : Originally posted by offgridDo... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12730&PID=122549#122549 Author: furpod

a 1lb bottle costs $3.99 here at walmart.
Refilling a 20 pounder from empty, at the local feed store costs about $14, and unlike an exchange tank, they actually fill the tank.

so $80 for 20 pounds.. or $14.. was an easy decision for me.

We were going through 5-6 of the 1 pounders a season, if not more. We often cook for several people, we have a griddle that also came ready to use them. In the first season, we saved enough to justify the cost of converting to low pressure and buying a 20 foot hose.

I have used camping stoves on 1# bottles, 4# tanks, 11# tanks, and 20# tanks...but in my comm trailer I use a 20# tank with a propane 'tree' to feed a Northstar propane lantern and also supply the camping stove. Since there is limited room where the stove is mounted, the 1# bottle would not fit on the fold out 'table' where the stove is. This is done mainly during winter camping and remote radio events during cold weather.

When I'm all done for the evening, I simply turn the knob on the 20# tank and it's safe to exit with no worries. 

But, if I'm cooking with the camping stove on a large outdoor picnic table in warmer weather, I generally use the 1# bottles...its a lot easier.

You can also fill your 1 lb. propane bottles from the 5 gal. propane tank with this handy device:  https://www.amazon.com/DozyAnt-Regulator-Propane-Adapter-Cylinder/dp/B00VVNGW5C/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=25M6Q2GBY9JM6&keywords=propane+refill+adapter&qid=1554398619&s=gateway&sprefix=propane+%2Caps%2C212&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

That set-up will work well, IF the grill has a regulator built-in. I use a similar attachment for mine.

The little one pound bottles and the 20# tanks are both high-pressure propane, so those appliances and fittings are all compatible. 

If you have a low pressure appliance (such as a Wave 3 heater) you want to run from the stand-alone tank or bottle, then you DO need a seperate on-tank regulator.

Somebody may correct me but you can not go from a Coleman propane grill that already has a regulator and through the regulator on your Pod 20lbs (or what ever size) gas tank to the grill. If your saying that you go straight out of your gas tank outlet valve that is on your Pod and into your grill and thus your only using one regulator and it should work. ]]> Thu, 04 Apr 2019 10:19:11 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12730&PID=122452#122452 Propane Grill : I have a Coleman propane grill... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12730&PID=122450#122450 Author: john in idaho

I have a Coleman propane grill that uses a one pound bottle that screws into the pressure regulator that is piped to the burners.  I found a propane hose with a fitting that attaches to the regulator on the grill.  The other end has a fitting that screws into the valve on a large propane bottle.  Is the pressure in the larger bottle too much for the Coleman regulator ?]]> Thu, 04 Apr 2019 10:09:33 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12730&PID=122450#122450
