This is the standard size. You can exchange this tank but you probably wil not get another one that has a built in gauge. Your best bet is to refill it at any propane refill station (many gas stations/uhaul locations offer this service)

I bought the weber 1000 portable gas grill that uses the small screw on propane cylinder, and it fits perfect. I leave it out in my garage on top of a old work bench with the cover on and just pop the cover off and fire it up. One thing is the cover will not fit with the propane cylinder screwed on. I always take it off after I get through grilling and after the grill cools down then put the cover on and push it back in the corner of my work bench. Hope this answers your question.

Hello, I have this grill and I love it, well you could also get him the portable cart that goes with this grill, the 20lb adapter hose to use the 20lb tanks instead of the 1lb tanks that cost an arm and a leg. I have the Weber Q Griddle and I freaking love it! Cookes bacon and eggs and anything else you would use a griddle for. Take care!!!! p.s. I have all these items i reccomended to you and love them all.

Go to your local hardware and grab a 20lb tank the size you would put on a Outside Cooking grill. sometimes you can find them at yard sales or second-hand shops for cheap. We use a 20 pounder "Outside Grill Size" works great.

Can I assume you mean Gas Liquified Petroleum? If that is what that means the answer is yes. I use a 20 lb tank I swap out at Winn Dixie or Home Depot when it is empty. If you use propane tank you will need extension hose sold by Amazon also. Great little grill that will handle cooking for 2 or 3 people easily. I love mine.

Any size propane tank will work, it is just a matter of having the right adapters to connect. My unit had the typical connector you would find on a barbeque grill but I use an adapter for the 1 lb can, available at most hardware stores. Other than that just make sure you hook the hoses up correctly (I had the water in hooked to the water out on the first try).

When my 20-lb tank on my grill runs out, instead of going out to fill it and ruining my meal, I just screw this adapter on and then I grab a 1-lb can of propane and screw it onto the other end and I am able to keep on cooking and then fill my 20-lb can later. I hope I have been of help to you.

This nifty little tank is what we take with us in our RV for our picnic table top BBQ.It's the perfect size, not too heavy and very portable.The sizes that you asked about are: 39 inches around and 13 inches tall.I highly recommend an item called the "Tank Foot" which is sold at Camping World.It's inexpensive and makes the tank very stable while in use or while traveling.Good luck and I know you would really enjoy this little propane tank.

Both the people I know who actually own this grill have gotten themselves the adapter (with hose) that lets you use refillable "20 pound" (and other sizes) propane tanks. There is plenty of room on the bottom rack for a tank this size. This way only the fairly compact (and flexible) hose is dangling from the connection port behind the timer. (And, by the way, WHY did they make timer only capable of 99 minutes time?)

It does not come with a tank. You have 2 options. If you buy the small screw-on tanks, available most anywhere like WalMart etc, everything is ready to attach one of those. I purchased two of those 16.4 oz tanks and after using the grill 3 times for about 25 minutes each, I still am on the first tank. If you want to hook it up to one of those larger propane tanks like those used for the big grills, you'll need to purchase a separate hose for that. I did buy one of those as well, but have not used it yet. One end attaches right to the grill and the other to the 5 gallon propane tank, nothing else needed but the hose itself.

Hello there, I bought the hose to allow the use of a large propane container rather than the small ones that the unit is designed for. I don't plan to move the grill around or use it portably so buying a lot of small containers vs. a large one once in awhile made both monetary sense as well as environmentally friendly sense. The hose fits a standard propane tank and the grill nicely and is just right as far a length was concerned for me. If you plan to use it portably there is no point but if it will be stationary you will save money and a lot of trips for more small cans. I hope this answers your question and is helpful. By the way there are other solutions from a variety of companies but they all require a lot of fittings to make it work and this opens the door to a host of other problems.

This grill is set up to hold a standard 20lb tank on the stand below the grill body. It has a screw down that effectively holds the 20lb tank in place. By propane cylinder, I'm guessing that you're referring to the small portable tanks you might use for a small grill or lantern? You could likely buy a converter hose to attach the Char-Broil to the cylinder, but the hose alone would likely cost more than a new 20lb tank.

I would like to use the larger size propane tank with this grill. Is it safet to do that and were could I buy a supply line to connect the two?

Hello John, I just measured my propane tank: approx, 17" overall height and approx, 91/4" max diameter. We really love this tank to use with our portable gas grille. Much smaller and lighter to take along when we travel. My refill source (an RV center) charged me just 1/2 charge to fill the tank as opposed to a 20lb. cylinder refill. The new cylinder must be "purged" when filled the first time. Hope this helps.

Yes Angi to use this grill you must buy propane bottles but all hardware stores, Walmart, Home Depot, etc carry them. Suggest you buy at least two ago you will always have a spare. Not very expensive. I had a large propane tank from when I had big grill but not necessary. Small propane bottles will give you many great grillings with this little grill. Hope this helps.

Mine was the shorter, which I didn't expect at the time I ordered. I called the vendor and they quickly assured my that it was the manufacturers decision to make the switch. Not 100% sure, but I believe my grill cooks hotter, and a bottle of gas lasts longer. My recommendation - don't worry about it being smaller.Good Grilling
