I have never had that much trouble finding propane. Yes after hours might be tough at times. Google says Cocke County Gas should have been able to fill you up.

I rarely use 60 lbs in one year of camping, let alone 30 lbs in 3 days. However, temps were in the 20s and high teens the night before that first tank ran out.
Cocke County Gas would had been good, but they are closed on Saturday and Sundays. M-F hours are 7:30am-4:30pm. We rolled out of West Virginia Friday morning and arrived in Newport that evening. The tank didn't run out until Friday after dinner. Seeing the propane fill at our campground I figured I would fill when we got back from exploring the Smokies that Saturday evening. I was wrong.
Google also says that the Murphy USA fills, they don't even have exchanges.
I am not saying it's impossible to refill. I am saying it can be very difficult at times, especially during the colder months when places are using more propane than during summer months. Their supply may be depleted when you are counting on them.
Pretty rare for a gas station to run out of regular gas.
