How often should I refill my propane tank?
Quick answer
Refill your 20 lb tank when the gauge or weight test shows low — typically every 4–8 weeks for weekly grillers in season, less in winter. Keep a spare tank if you cook often or host parties so you never mid-cook with an empty cylinder.
Seasonal patterns
Memorial Day through Labor Day uses the most fuel in the Northeast. Start each season with a full tank and inspect hoses.
Delivery alternative
Eligible ZIP codes can schedule recurring residential delivery so a fresh tank arrives on route day.
