I always carried the 1 lb propane cylinders I used for our grill and for the weed burner I use to start camp fires in a compartment with the grill. Following some of the conversations here about propane I decided to look around for a safer place. I realized I could get two of them to fit in the propane compartment (at least on my Arctic Fox). Inserting them in an ankle sock for cushioning and placing a small bungee cord to keep the top one from falling out when you open the compartment door they stack and travel very nicely against the gap in the large propane cylinders.

Nice. Do you have the brass caps for them?

Clever thinking. I usually store mine in the oven. LOL Caps are a good idea though only had one leak on me and it was so old it was painted white.

Probably better than where I am storing mine! Mine are with the grill.

Good idea, I will have to check this out today when we get to the campground. Thanks.

What brass caps can we get for these small cylinders? Anyone tell me where I can get them?

Again, thanks.

I've already been storing mine there. I like the sock idea.

I tried using a piece of fence post cover and drop them in but then I couldn't close the door.

I never thought about a cap. The plastic ones seem to work just fine, but I guess it might be worth it if you were reusing tanks. $10 for two wouldn't be that bad in that case.
