Cooking with Propane
I just picked this up from our local TV station here in Jefferson City, Mo. Check out this article. It might make you appreciate your charcoal, pellets, or wood a little more. Where does the insanity end!
Propane use

Never an issue for me. My tanks get refilled and come back home with me. Never any swapping of tanks.
I will say though that this is something that I never heard of before. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

If you use the same tank that should not be a problem. I do not do the exchange tank method

This link to snopes shows the unlikelihood of this happening.

I use 30# tanks, and I can fill them locally for $19 (27# @ $.70 per pound). The exchange rate for a 20# Blue Rino tank is $20 (18# @ $1.11 per pound). Brand new the tanks cost about $60 so you recover the cost of the tank after just a little more than 5 refills. No-brainer Mod!

Other impacts of using propane is that your entire pit could blow up.

A coworker had his propane grill blow up just about a month ago. He is a convert to charcoal all of a sudden.

"His company, on average, disposes of five meth contaminated propane tanks every month. But given the thousands of tanks they process it's not a very common problem."
Sounds like the press is trying to scare folks by "Blowing" this out of proportion. Tim

I would imagine it would be a big problem if you happened to get one of the contaminated tanks.

We also have a Rino tank for a quick backup.

I do not grill or smoke with propane but this year I think I will build a burner that will be used as a fire starter or an over night burner to be used after the meat has completed a good smoke burn.
