A gas grill is an delicious, cheap way to cook food.
I purchased: 15 lbs of propane
$55 ($60 w/tax) without deposit
can refill: $22 (@ CVS)
TW (tare weight): 16.6 lbs
after first use: 31.6 lbs (15 lbs remain)
other markings: DT-4.0 WC-47.6 lbs
http://www.propane101.com/propanecylinderfilling.htm ‘WC’ stands for ‘Water Capacity’ - how much water it can hold!
http://www.propane101.com/images/cylinder-filling-chart.jpg 47.8lb WC will hold 20lbs propane!
In our first grilling, we hardly used any propane! How long will 15lbs of propane last?
http://hubpages.com/hub/Calculating-How-Long-Your-BBQ-Propane-Tank-Will-Last “A heating value of 91,600 BTU/gal (21,600 BTU/lb) is the commonly accepted value presented by the American Gas Association.”

“Blue Rhino is not only installing OPD valves, they are installing their OWN proprietary OPD valves, called Tri-Safe II valves. You can identify a TSII valve by the little triangular indentation on the side of the valve. In order to get flow IN to a TS2 valve, a magnetic key must be inserted into the indentation to hold a steel ball out of the way.”
