Coleman 1-lb Tanks - How Long Do They Last? 

No thank you

You sir are gentleman and a scholar

@@deadringer2349 Hear, hear!

Is that on full blast or medium or low? How many burners going? What size grill?

@@joea9222 that's a Weber q what was once called the baby but I think it's a 1200 now. That has one u-shaped burner on it

Welcome to grilling. Cheers Irigdren! Lots more vids on the way

You're very welcome. It was a question I needed to answer for myself. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks man. The Q is a good backup. Sometimes I'll make a quick appetizer on it while doing a low-and-slow on the kettle. Cheers!

Thanks Rob. Cheers man!

I've taken the Q camping and on the road several time. But when it's at home, definitely the big tank. Cheers Joey!

Sounds like a good life. Glad you're getting the most out of your Q. Cheers Terry!

Great purchase. Definitely consider the hose to the larger tanks. You'll save a lot of money in the long run. Enjoy your new Q!

Yes I went to tractor supply today and after you buy the new empty 20lb tank they will fill it for $10-$15. Just need to find that transfer valve online somewhere so I can refill them.

Thanks Victor. My next vid will be a recipe vid for sure. Cheers!

Thanks for watching WFO Dave. I'll have some more Q vids out this week hopefully. Cheers man!

Welcome aboard! Enjoy your new Q. I've got a new video coming out next week that will show you how to really clean it when the time comes. Cheers Julie!

@@GallaghersGrub Thanks! Looking forward to it! And btw, I was excited to see that you put a small foil patch of wood chips! I did that on my past charcoal grills…but I really want to do that on the Q!!! Cheers!

@@luvweb20 Stay tuned for my next video. It's going to be a good one

Glad it was helpful!

Happy to help!

Glad you found the video helpful. I was curious myself. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!

Thanks HotSauce!

Your'e very welcome. I used to live in the ATL and love it there myself.

Thanks for watching, Brenda. Cheers!

You're very welcome. These 1-lb tanks are great for camping trips, but they get expensive. I would recommend the 20-lb tanks for every day use.

Glad you found it helpful. I was always curious about this myself. Now we know. Thanks for watching, Zues.

I was very curious about this myself. Glad it helps.

No probs. Cheers Wilbert!

Thanks Bill. I take my Q on the road all the time. Have a great fall too!

Thanks Mario. I think my next few vids will be recipes, but have you seen this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KIxPN17GDss.html

Right on Gunbu. Cheers!

Thanks for watching in Greece! Cheers.

Glad it was helpful! Have fun camping!

You're welcome Arlene. Thanks for watching.

You’re welcome. Check out some of my other vids. I’ve got tons of Weber Q content.

Beer makes a great timer. It how I know when to flip my steaks. Cheers brotha!

you threw a whole Q away? JESUS....

@@SkylineFinesse for real, just clean it out and Burn It Off

@@junyr73 some people don’t deserve nice stuff, regardless of if they work and paid for it.

Welcome aboard!

That's a great deal on the Q. It's a perfect grill for the weekdays. Cheers River City BBQ.

Appreciate the kind words. Thank you empt 101!

emtp 101 which one did you buy a 3000, 2000 or 1000 series?

Thanks for watching in the UK John!

Glad it was helpful! Cheers!

Thanks Brett. Cheers!

Right on. I was curious myself. Thanks for watching!

I'm also considering a Q2200. A little bigger than the Q1200 and loved by everyone who owns them.

Thanks Lasse. I need to watch some of your vids for inspiration. Cheers!

Thanks. The small tanks are great, but they add up $$$ after a while if you grill a lot. Cheers!

same here! lol 1lb still works pretty good just get a three pack of propane at walmart for $9.00 can’t beat that

Thank you Michael. And thank you for your service.

I would take 2 tanks

You got it!

Sorry I missed this comment. You just have to look around for a roasting rack. Maybe try one from a toaster oven. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend.

Most helpful answer, thanks! I don’t plan to use it in one sitting, as I’m about to do vanlife full-time and I have 2 of these ready to go!

Glad it helped! Thanks for stopping by the channel.

Right on Juan. Thanks for watching.

Terry Barnhart I use the rack out of my toaster oven. Works great!

Weber doesn't make the rack or shield available for the U.S. market anymore. So yeah, you've got to find an alternate. Cheers Terry!

Thanks for watching Joan. Please subscribe and check out my other videos. Nearing 100 of them.

Any time!

Lol. Thanks for watching LG.

The transfer station (dump) in my town has an area for the empty canisters. Glad you enjoyed the vid. Keep on grillin'!

The 1-lb tanks definitely make it easy. Cheers Ryan!

I think this little BBQ cooks better than just about any big grill I had

Glad to help. Cheers Hager!

Yes, you can leave them plugged in. Just make sure you don't accidentally leave the gas on or bump it to the on position. You'll waste all your gas.

I use the Q1200. It's a great portable grill Tresa.

You bet.

I've used many larger 15 and 20 lb tanks as well as the small tanks and have never had an issue. Unfortunately, your grill may have some defect, but I'm not certain. Thanks for watching!

There's a safety valve/diaphragm that senses high flows of gas just as the gas leaves the hose and enters the grill. It triggers, and the flow is greatly reduced, if you just crank the tank valve open. Try to turn it about 1/8 turn per 4 seconds until the first turn is over, it should cure the problem (this takes patience). The diaphragms age and get stiff, which makes them more sensitive. If you turn the tank valve slowly, the safety system does not activate. For City Escape Griller - pictures of where you set the heat control would have made this video better. Also, if you put a hand behind your phone, the lens will focus there.

I live in Manhattan now. No more fire escape. This video was shot at a cousin's house in upstate New York. Thanks for watching David.

The 20-lb tanks last a really long time. Not sure if a tanks duration would be different in winter vs. summer. Thanks for watching Jadd612

Yes, you have to remove the small 1lb tank to hook up the hose to the larger tank. If you're mostly using it at home, I suggest the larger tank. It will save you a lot of money in the long run. The smaller tanks are great for taking the grill on the road.

I make them myself. This video shows you how: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yvP-MEgj1Dc.html

@@GallaghersGrub thanks

In the U.S. the regulator comes standard on the Weber Qs. In some countries, like Australia, you have to buy the regulator separately. Since I did not have to buy one, all I can say is I think they are pretty standard and available at most hardware stores.

Just turn the gas knob to "Off," replace the tank and start it back up. Happens all the time.

The smaller tanks are perfect for taking on the road. Cheers Negrodamus!

Thank you. Cheers Luis!

You're welcome. Cheers man!

I've never used an expert brand grill. With the weber Q, I like to unscrew the little canister when I'm moving the grill around as to not accidentally bump the gas knob on. Grease happens, just have to give it a good cleaning every now and then. Cheers!

Thanks man

@@GallaghersGrub im sorry to bother you with this but I've seen most of the videos that you have and there really helpful... but I got this question I want to ask.. ima be going on a road trip from Chicago to California and were gonna be camping throughout the the whole trip for a week. Go and come back ..do you have any brand that you favor the most for camping wise.. its gonna be our first one and I want to be fully prepared

Or just any special tools that you always have to carry with you every time you camp.. small, compact, and always very useful

I kno u mostly rate grills.. and thats what I'm trying to find the best one somewhat not to expensive .. and that will last

Here in the US, it comes with the grill. Are you in a different country?

Why not test it yourself?

@@TheCorporateCollege Well, if I have all the time and resource to test all the queries I have in life, I wouldn't get much accomplished in the same amount of time. That's why I came online to search for test results performed by people who enjoys doing them (and hopefully compensated well for it). What I'm trying to say is although I appreciate the video creator's time in creating this video, his tests are statistically insignificant when he's only testing a setting in the middle. What I don't understand is the purpose of your comment; it's neither constructive or informative. For others who is equally as curious as I am, I saved some time in calculating the theoretical maximum usage time per 1 lb bottle. Each 1LB bottle (assuming has exactly 1 LB of propane) has theoretical value of 21591 BTU. Assuming q1200 indeed burns exactly 8500 BTU/hour at maximum setting. It should in theory last around 2 and a half hours. Obviously this is all on paper (and i don't know the propane usage at lowest setting) which is why I searched for videos like this to answer my question. P.S. Obviously, I know most people are content with the information that was presented. However, coming from a scientific background, the way an experiment is designed means a lot to me. If it was designed and executed improperly, the information presented might be false or misleading. What I pointed out is in fact just the biggest blatant gap in the experiment design; there are other gaps that stood out to me too. I know youtube isn't a peer reviewed source of knowledge which is why I overlooked everything else and kept my original comment simple and sweet.

Thank you sir!

If the Q is in one stationary place, then yes you can. But if you're putting it into your car to take it somewhere, disconnect the tank. You don't want to bump the gas knob on.

You can leave it attached. But if you're transporting your Q, you should take it off, because it's very easy to accidentally turn the gas knob on, and you'll lose all your gas.

In the U.S. the regulator comes with the Weber Q. In other countries, like Australia I believe, you need to buy the regulator separately.

Thanks for watching, Kevin.

It will work fine and save you a little money. If not, you can always return it. Amazon has a great return policy.

@@GallaghersGrub Thanks for the quick reply. Ordering today!! Love Amazon & saving money

A normal sized steak takes about 10 minutes to pre-heat the grill, and about 10 mins max cooking time. About 20 mins total. That would be about 8-9 cooks for steaks.

As far as I know, there are only two options for gas: The 1lb canister and the larger 15 or 20lb tanks connected by the hose. Both options are propane.

@@GallaghersGrub Ah, brilliant! Thanks.

You need an adapter hose. Here's the link: amzn.to/2yf4QS1

Yes, you should unscrew the tank, when transporting. It will not lose its gas. If not, you can accidentally bump the knob and turn the gas on.

Technically, you probably should so that you don't bump the gas knob into the "on" position and leak all of your gas.

I think they do expire. But I've never owned one long enough so I can't be sure. Sorry I can't help.

They sell adapters on Amazon

11-lb. What country? I think here in the U.S. we mostly have 15 and 20-lb tanks. Cheers Terry!

@@GallaghersGrub the one gallon tank is a bit hard to find and sometimes more expensive than the 5 ( 20 pounder) gallon tanks. But they are really nice to have on some occasions.

You're very welcome. Cheers!

This has happened to me several times. Occasionally, the threads on the tank may be stripped a little bit. It will usually attach, but it may take a few minutes of really pushing to get it on. The Coleman brand tanks tend to have better threading.

@@GallaghersGrub thank uou

If you’re in the U.S, you can buy an adapter hose at Home Depot or Lowe’s for about $20-$25.
