Sure, why not. Anyway, it's something like this

Put a pot on it and steam oysters, frogmore stew, whatever. Seems to be called an outdoor burner from what I can tell.

If so, I now have 4 because I bought a torch at tractor supply last night.

Oh so you meant one of these
Mar 4, 2021, 10:26 AM

and not one of these:
Protip: for the first one, use MAPP gas. It costs a little more, but burns hotter so you will light it faster.

Mainly to minimize swapping/filling them all the time. Still, do that maybe twice a year.

I went through a phase where I learned it was cheaper to buy somewhat full tanks at yard sales than to get them filled.
I only keep the 3 best ones filled and since I sold my gas grill 2 years ago, haven’t had to buy any for my emergency heater or my flattop griddle.
I also have 2 acetylene and three oxygen tanks and a couple of tanks of MAPP gas.
What cha wanna burn?

so. Ideally, the one I'm using now will run out mid-grilling so I'll need to drag 8 burgers and any other crap on the grill inside to finish it.

those tall, fancy looking outdoor space heaters for the crisp cool evenings, and used to have a grill, that has since been replaced with a GMG outdoor oven that just plugs into the wall.

since he got sick, he didn't really grill anymore and so we probably have 3 empty ones laying around now. I need to go fill one up.

It’s much cheaper to get tanks filled at Dollar General than exchanging them at grocery stores.

Unlikely. I've only bought maybe 1 tank in my life.
Mar 4, 2021, 10:41 AM

I think they are like $40 empty. The others I've acquired over the years from folks moving, a friends dad that passed, etc. Knowing they are $40, I'm like SURE I'LL TAKE IT.
I really don't need 6, but it does keep me from having to get them filled on the reg. That said, I'm pretty sure I've refilled 4-5 of them on probably 4-5 different occasions over the past year. So they do get used.
Blackstone 36
Propane heater (screw in to top of tank kind)
Single standalone burner
Taller mushroom heater
They seem to go quick 'round here.

for the new smoker. Occasionally use a tank-top heater. I have a quick-connect to the house tank in the screened porch to fuel the gas grill, never run out whilest grilling.
