I buy my 100# and smaller propane fills from an Amish hardware. I just filled a 100# tank for $50.00. On Saturday morning, the young man fires up the gas generator that runs the pump, he and his kid brother fill tank after tank from 8:00 am till 4:00 pm, pretty much nonstop. Folks like me collect up all our empties and make a trip of it. We can buy propane much closer to home but not near as cheap. The Hardware, solar powered and has any and all off grid needs. They also have home supplies from pre electricity times. What's very interesting is the tradition while in line, you help load and unload the guy in front of you, then the guy behind you helps load and unload your tanks when it's your turn. Just an unspoken tradition. 100# tanks are quite a lift for 1 man, when filled.


you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

I'm lucky that I can pull right up to the pump and don't have to unload my 100#ers to get them filled.

$2.86 a gallon


The bitterness of poor quality last a lot longer than the sweetness of low price

Propane is sold by the gallon here in the states. A gallon is roughly a little over 4lbs, if your paying $1.45/pound that would be $5.80/gal vs the original posters 2.29/gal sounds cheap to me.


Gotcha!

I just had two 500 gal tanks filled this week. One was at 10% the other had 20% in it when they started. They fill them to 85-90% Never asked the price. The one for the house always lasts over a year, just to back up wood and run the stove top. The other I got this summer from a farmer who was moving to town. I’m going to use it for the shop and filling bottles for river kitchen etc. I should know in a couple days how much it all cost.

Natural gas in Europe is 25 times the US prices. They also use butane for cooking and space heating. Maybe it is cheaper. Don’t know anything about butane except I have seen truck loads of it in cylinders that looks to be about 25 gallons. Not shaped like our cylinders.
