I just hate to have those throw-away 1lb tanks.
With our previous Spree I plumbed it so I could run not just my 2-burner Coleman stove but also my Weber Q and while it worked fine I tired of setting it up every time and tripping over the hose. I then realized it was the grill that consumes the vast majority of gas, the stove very little, the reason being that a grill needs to not just cook but also preheat but then also burn off residue after grilling. I ditched the hose and began to run the grill with a 5 lb tank and the stove with a 16.4 oz canister. Last year the 5 pounder needed to be recertified so instead turned it in and now run both the grill and stove with canisters. Each spring big box stores around here offer 4-packs of canisters on sale so I buy a couple and find that more than enough for the entire season. This containment box built from scrap plywood ensures the canisters don't roll around in the back of the truck when I'm towing. I can even take along a couple of torch fuel canisters. K.I.S.S. :B
