Where do I leave my tanks?You can leave your tanks anywhere in a safe, accessible location such as: on your front porch, near the back gate, etc. At checkout, you will see a section titled "instructions for delivery". There, you can add any special instructions such as gate codes, requests, and any additional information. We offer free installation with every delivery.

If you are expecting a same-day delivery, we recommend that you leave your tanks outside immediately after placing your order; this will ensure we don't miss you.

My tank says 15lb, but on the site I only see 20lb. Are those the same thing?Yes—they’re the same size tank. “20lb” refers to the tank’s total capacity, but for safety, it’s only filled to about 80%. We fill to 4 gallons, which is about 17lb of propane. Many exchange programs only fill to 15lb, which is why you might see that listed. Let us know if you have any other questions—we’re happy to help!
