Not to criticize here, but I often shake my head at the effort some people go through when attempting to accomplish matters like this. Why do I shake my head? Because it reminds me of my own misery when I also do the same LOL. We carry a Camp Chef 2 burner system AND an extra propane tank. Been doing it this way for quite a while now. That extra propane tank sitting in a milk crate travels easily and doesn't take up too much room. Before that, we traveled with several of those small propane cylinders when we only used a smaller camp grill. To us, some things just don't need to be over-simplified.
I have no reasonably safe way to carry an extra propane tank. It would also be rather silly to do so since my trailer carries enough propane for years of use.
I can have all the fires and BBQ's I want during the camping season on the trailers tanks without worry of draining the tanks.
Draining of tanks is not my concern either (though we did fully drain one 30# tank on a recent trip). But when you rely on a trailer-connected propane connection, that means you either need to cook right next to the trailer or stretch a long hose across the campsite. We have a 2-burner outdoor stove on our outdoor kitchen, but when we burn the Camp Chef unit, it's outside of our camper/awning area. For that, you have to have an additional propane tank. And of course, we prefer real wood fires over fake propane fires ;)
I don't really understand your comment about having no safe way to carry another tank. Put it in a milk crate and put in the bed of the truck or on the floor of the camper. It ain't going nowhere.
