I used this 11 lb tank with Coleman 8' Extension Hose and a Century Two-Piece 18-30" Type 1 Safety Post with Bag.I went to my local U-HAUL to fill up the tank. Don't forget, it is CRITICAL to make sure you get the tank PURGED BEFORE you fill it up for the first time. You only have to purge it once, then each time after that it's just an easy refill. I paid $5 to get it purged and it took the guy about 15 minutes to do it. After he finally got the tank fully purged, it was quick to fill up, and only cost about $9 for the propane.Over time, this tank will pay for itself by saving a ton of money on those expensive little disposable tanks. Plus, there's enough propane to last a long time. We camped 5 nights with a stove and lantern and don't think we came close to using up all the propane - so when my backyard 20 lb tank runs out, I can easily hook this one up.Plus, I LOVE the wide short and round tank vs the taller and skinny tanks. This fit perfectly in one of those square plastic milk crates I had lying around. It was very sturdy and did not come anywhere close to tipping over with the distribution tree, hose, and lantern hooked up to it. SOLID BUY - GET THIS TANK!
