Christopher Quast Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Just curious if anyone has filled one lately and if so how much did you pay this year? I have been contemplating on going with a 100lber for less refilling reasons throughout the season, if you fill a 100 lber vs say a 20,40lber is it cheaper per pound then?

stumper Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I had a 100 lb and a 11 lb bottle filled last week for 69.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Quast Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Really??? Thats pretty reasonable Last year I believe I was paying 25 bucks to get my 40 filled. Seems high to me on my end, where do you have yours filled at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuskieJunkie Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Brandt's on Mille Lacs charges $85 for a 100 lbs tank brought out to your ice house. I think that's up from $60 last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy airjer W Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 If you can find it for around $.80 cents or less a pound your doing good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleasant Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I agree I pay just a bit less that 81 cents @ pound. But I buy from a guy that only sells propane and propane appliances.. And he is not Hank Hill LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he is not Hank Hill LOL I have a wood stove in my fish house... It cost me $3.17 in gas for the chainsaw and 3 hours of work, logging, splitting and stacking to heat my fish house for the entire winter season.

boxcar46 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 This is in Brookings, SD. I filled a 100# tank for work two weeks ago for 50 bucks at our local coop. That didn't include tax as a work for the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dodge Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Had 100 lb filled last week 42.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrBrits Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 locally up here, propane is 1.49 a gal and it looks like it might go lower, so at 1.49 per gal and 4.25# per gal equals about .35cents per pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougger222 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 In 1999 built my fish wheeled house with a wood burning stove. In 2000 yanked it out and put in an Empire furnace, stove with oven, and two propane lights. Best grand I've ever spent. Less time dealing with starting a fire and more time to fish.Propane has been comming down with the price of gas and diesel lately. I know several people who heat there homes with LP who pre-bought this Summer and now the price is quite a bit lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances with Walleye Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I used to burn wood in the fish house... but got lazy and use the LP now.... set the thermostat and put my feet up My buddy and I debated that for a long time... And then went wood... The final selling point was that once the stove paid for itself (Which it has) I'm basically heating for free... I mean I cut down 1 tree, and then scrap wood from my wood shop and it heats us for an entire winter... My other friend who has a propane heater went through 250 pounds of propane last winter, to the tune of about $230... That's an extra $230 going to help buy an H20... Or $230 going into a college fund... Or an extra truck payment.As for time spent starting a stove, and loading wood... In grand total... It's not much different than the time lost when that low tank peters out on pressure when it's 2:00 am and -20 outside. Or that regulator buys the farm for some reason.
