can you put the empty tank in a ice/salt/water brine to get it super cold and wrap your filled tank with a heating pad on low to maximize the temperature differential? Does that get more propane into the smaller tank or does that just make the fill...

I don't think I would, I put mine in the freezer for about 15 minutes, start filling, when the hissing noise stops put it back in the freezer for another 10 minutes and continue to fill it. You don't want to fill it any more than 2/3 to 3/4 full

When you get it filled with propane it will hold about 2.25 gallons of propane in the tank. Remember, you only fill it to 75-80% of the tank maximum so slightly over two gallons is about it. Nonetheless, it is very sufficient for most camping needs and the tank is much lighter than steel tanks (about half the weight)

First thing is what size tank, and what size heater. If the heater is not large enough for the tank, it's not going to reach temp. If the tank is in a colder room, you may need a larger heater.

i haven't tried I haven't had a problem I place the empty's in the freezer for 20 min or so and let the big tank sit in the sun hook it up flip upside down and open fills in 3 min or so

The tank is filled with Air to check for leaks before it is sold. Open the valve and make sure it is empty. Then fill it up. It is illegal to ship a propane tank with propane in it. Hope this helps. Mine was empty.

I have filled mine with a mixture of water, salt, and rubbing alcohol. This way the water can't freeze all of the way and the ice is flexible. After use, I just put it back in the freezer for the next use. The freezing process doesn't seem to hurt the liner of the bag, because it has not leaked at all.

This tank is not really set up that way. I have bought this one for my boat. I also bought the portable tank with wheels 14 gallon, has the proper fueling handle. Works great....very happy with it... only takes a few minutes to fill my jet skis the have 8 gallon tanks....

Yes you can but this goes through propane, I think it says at high flame it a regular propane tank will last 7-8 hours, I would find a small propane tank, camping world has a 1 gallon refillable tank. I am assuming that you are looking for something small for space requirements.. I love the fire pit and I will never be without one again when I am rving or camping...so much easier... enjoy

I checked my manual. It specifies using a 16.4 ounce disposable propane cylinder. There is no mention anywhere of whether a larger propane tank can be used. It does say not to change the regulator assembly and I'm thinking to use the larger tank you might have to. I would say no to that. And the smaller cylinder lasts quite awhile so I'm not sure why you would want to .

Reply - First - I like my chest and principal of keeping things cold , especially during hurricane season. On ac power you can control the temperature, but on propane it takes a good day to get cold. My advice would be put a thermometer inside to help with your issue. If it gets too cold, convert items over into a regular cooler. I haven't had to use my for several days yet, but mine got down to regular refrigerator temperatures. - My main issue is medication.

Let your tank run down to almost empty, add the BG 44K and then fill up the tank. Works great.

Well, make sure you have the correct Mr. Heater. Propane gas is different than Natural gas. But, yes, a Propane powered Mr. Heater will work with a smaller size propane tank. I have a Natural Gas Mr. Heater. Use it almost every day. It is located in the garage, hooked up to the gas line that feeds the hot water heater. Read instructions relating to venting. I do not vent mine, but have some fresh air from garage door leaks.

I just did this 2 days ago. I filled my tank around 3pm and it was 70 degrees by 6:00 it was at 78 degrees. I put my fish in before it was fully heated Nd they're fine! GREAT heater! Hope this helps!

Yes,... I've fill the onboard reserve tank using a hose and filter. You need to flush out the filter first beforehand though.

You can use both, i filled the bottom tank with 2/3 water 1/3 ice and i also filled the ice box on the top with ice and it made it cooler. I would use ice only on those real hot days. Ice deffently makes it colder. Hope this helps.

Only if you get the propane model (LP) If you hook propane to a gas model you will burn your houes down!! A small tank wont last to long I dont know how long.

You put water in. Dont use cold if it's already heated up. It evaporates pretty speedily, so check on it periodically. I fill to near the top so it lasts longer. Hope this helps!
