Smaller grocery store, when they get scuffed up they are set aside. I got mine a a local store for nothing.

Are the ones at Gander, Fleet Farm and Menard's the real McCoy. I googled "milk crates" and one site said the real milk crates used by dairies use a tougher plastic.

I have several that I, uhh, liberated from the grocery store I worked at about 16 years ago. They are tough SOBs.

I didn't even know you could buy them, I thought you kind of just had to come across them one way or another.

I picked up one at Walmart last spring. THe plastic isn't as hard as the real milk crates but that might not be a bad thing. Even in -20 temps the plastic is still pliable. Mine has seen a lot of abuse this year banging across Red lake for miles several times in the back of my sled but it's still running strung. Not to mention I only paid a couple bucks for it.

Works great. First year I've ever fished where my propane tank didn't A. tip over, or B. Fill up with snow on teh bottom of the tank and get wobbly.

Anyone have a source for the old metal ones?

I found a crate called Blitz Box or something like that. It's a milk crate like box that you can also hang on the wall and remove. I found it at Sears, although I see Menards has them now too. Fits a propane tank perfectly and much stronger than those plastic imitations. About $10.

Found my last one in the cub foods parking lot a couple of weeks ago. You can never have enough milk crates!
