GL: Rusty Propane Cylinders

[Bob Clinkenbeard]

Ever think about installing an adapter and using a large tank?  I did it and 
it worked out great.  I always had a problem with storing the small 
tanks...outside of course.
No more small tanks to keep up with and there are many choices for tank 
construction....aluminum, brass and fiberglass 
http://www.lpgastanks.com/propane-tanks/lc10  If I had it to do over I would 
use a 10 lb aluminum or fiberglass tank to save room...I had a 20 lb and a 
vinyl cover.  Since I lived aboard and cooked most of my meals on the 
grill...a Fire and Ice by Charbroil.  I think they are discontinued.  Worked 
great because of the full solid grilling surface.  I could scramble eggs and 
fry bacon...then do the meats at night.  I fashioned some rail fittings and 
attached the grill part.  I saved the cooler that was part of the Fire and 
Ice and I still have it.
Just some thoughts.

Has anyone else noticed that the Wal-Mart 16.4 oz bbq propane cylinders 
rust
like the devil? There are some tiny holes on the bottom that the rust 
starts
around.  After only a few days of hanging out of the grill the area
underneath is covered with rust stains. rai.com/mailman/options/great-loop
