I never have that problem anymore, my Weber is plumbed to a 500 gallon
propane tank that's on automatic delivery... and my bulk propane
grilling costs less than half of what you pay for fill-ups. If you do
much grilling, and don't need propane for cooking/heating, you really
ought to check into getting a 100 pound propane cylinder set up.
