Thanks for the thoughts. Being that we live in a one stoplight town, trading out at walmart has never been anything we have done, so that isn't really a discouragement. And since we can see the level of the tank, I should hope running out wouldn't be a problem. That happens to us now, running out, and no one who fills propane here is open on Sunday, so we are used to punting. We would always carry a spare 1lb bottle. We use about 1 1/2 bottles per weekend now, soo... These tanks, I think, are different from the ones that came out a few years ago. They are supposed to have the same valve. The way I am thinking right now, the added cost for the subtraction of weight is a pretty good deal.
