Need a 5 lb. propane tank for a SSP. WalMart has them for $50.00 which seems steep. What do you all suggest is best way for me to acquire one?
Several ways, ask on here as someone may have one, a local propane dealer may have or can order one, Google it for listing with prices, and last Amazon.
But remember they ate certified for X number of years.
One question do you own a propane grill? If so you can by a adapter hose to hook up your 20lb bottle to your SS grill. One less bottle to fill, and deal with.

Thanks Easy. I just picked up my first SSP gas assist minus tank and wanted to use 5 lb tank as was original equipment. I did web search and was surprised to find the 5 lb tanks cost more than the larger ones. May have to just bite the bullet and get one at Wally World :)
@Raindog how much was wally world? for the 5lb'er?
ive seen them @ 55.xx
Yeah I had a SS red and had to replace the tank they were expensive, I got mine for a bit less at a propane dealer, got lucky but that was many years ago.
50-55 sounds about right these days.

Check your local Ace Hardware. The ones around here have the 5# tanks on clearance for around $40.
Alternatively you could convert to #1 tanks.
Do you have an old tank? You can exchange it at Wal-Mart etc.

I had to convert my redhead SSP to a 1Lb bottle because I couldn't get the 5Lb that I had certified. Made a bracket to mount it under the original panel:

I can only post one pic at a time for some reason, please bare with me.
The bottle is hidden from view:

Sorry about the multiple posts, but I seem to only be able to post one pic per post.
someone here hipped me to True Value online and I usually jump on lump when they have $20 off $100 deals. I dunno, maybe you might need some grates etc. to combine the order to get the discount?

This is a really really nice solution. Gorgeous!
This might work and isn't too expensive for a bracket-

Ace Hardware has them for $55 (http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=21226816)
@tspin818 - Nice job on the conversion!

I recently bought a new Manchester 5lb tank ($55) and quick connect attachment ($20) online from Ace; do a quick google and you'll find a coupon for $15 off $75. It came out to around $65 total with tax. I've done that twice for two different SSPs.

My dad has this grill, No one refills that tanks anymore. Not enough demand for that size @ Walmart.
Looks like Weber needs to go to big bottles? Go back to drawing board on we're to put big bottle @???

Any RV dealer that sells propane will fill them. it's usually cheapest place in town too.
Thanks

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. Still working on cleaning it up but when I finally figure out which way to go I'll post picture of the rehab...
