A possible explanations of any shortages of filled 1 lb cylinders could be the recent freeze in Texas if shipments got diverted or people did panic buying when they saw what was happening in Texas.

Shortages of goods and materials are not a "recent" thing, goes "hand in hand" with the great "TP" shortage of 2020.

While the "big freeze" in TX may not have helped the already stretched beyond compare supply chain issues it is not the real problem.

All it takes is a good look at your local stores "canned goods" isle and you will notice that there are a lot of shelves devoid of many of the less popular canned food choices..

It isn't because everyone bought them up, it is because of steel shortages.

Go over to the soda isles and you will notice a considerable reduction in brand "offerings" sitting on the shelves..

It isn't because all of those products were hoarded or sent to TX because of the big freeze, it is because of the aluminum shortages..

Go to your lumber yards and you will have a difficult time locating a lot of popular lumber sizes and the offerings you will find are priced well over three times of what it used to be.

It isn't because folks hoarded lumber but because lumber mills/producers had to shut down or had to reduce work force..

Supply chains have been interrupted and often completely halted for nearly a yr, so now days you HAVE to be very patient and WAIT for supplies to show up once and a while. Otherwise, your going to have to take a lot of long drives and visit a lot of stores to find what you are wanting.

OR you can simply just order off of the Internet and hope you will get it in the next six months..
