Where do you swap your propane tanks out?

I read on here the other day someone saying that a lot of the Walgreens/CVS etc. places don't always give you a full tank, and I think they recommended hardware stores for propane refills. So, where do you get your propane at? I'm in Walker, so Walker / Denham Springs recommendations would be best.

I always get mine refilled. I have three that I rotate so I always have at least one completely full.

For thibodaux I get it refilled at Gus's on canal. Charge you by the gallon too. None of that flat price shite.

any big RV place will have a fill station, I fill mine at berryland in hammond

Any particular place or type of place? I've only ever swapped them out.

If you're swapping out tanks, you're throwing away money. Refilling is the only option I consider.

Where to refill in south Baton Rouge ??

I refill at a u-haul place...though mainly because it is closer than any of the swap-out places. Honestly, I am not gonna get all stressed out and drive all over town over $3 worth of propane...

Hutch's hardware in dutchtown does it... Check goodwood hardware.

an old lady has a bug propane tank in her front yard. Lives on Arnold road near the hwy 16 side. $15. Actually a legit operation.

How long have you been wasting $$$?
Can't believe people don't do simple math and realize 2.10/gallon (my current local price) at 5 gallons is 10.50 vs 19.99 to swap is a terrible deal.

If you Don't trust them, you could always bring a bathroom scale with you...
calculate the tanks tare weight + 20#
blue rhino and Amerigas only fill to 15#'s (75%)

I use a friends acct. at a propane only place and pay more. City life sucks sometimes.

I've swapped tanks out maybe twice. I just got my boiling rig last year and before that had only recently switched from charcoal grilling to gas grilling.

KOA 3 mins from house. Only ever swapped out old tanks for new ones.

Yeah, those companies are making a killing.
You can buy one filled and that isn't a bad price. They get you on the swapping....and get you good.

That's the only reason one should swap.

The only reason I like those things. Get a brand new tank when you need one and tear the wrapper off of it.
