What propane cylinder do I need to buy for this grill?

Question

I'm thinking about purchasing a grill with the following specifications:

Uniflame 40,000BTU 4-Burner Gas Wagon Grill, model #NSG3902D.

40,000 BTU Total of Four 10,000 BTU Stainless Steel Burners
Cast Brass Flush Side Burner Total 10000 BTU

As I am clueless about grills and the tank is not included, what tank do I need to buy for it?

Answer 1

I looked up that grill and it was like i expected, it uses a 5 gallon tank, standard grill size, and by law all all propane tanks that size must have an OPD valve, so any tank you buy should fit your grill, Look outside of gas stations, or places like home depot for a cage with tanks in it, you can buy them there, then when you run out return the tank and get a new full one at a discounted price.

Answer 2

20 lb, OPD (you cant buy anything else except at garage sales). It takes more effort but buying tank at retailer and then filling at Propane provider saves aprox $7 each time you fill up. On a side note, get two tanks as there is nothing worse then getting a meal half done and then running out of gas.

Answer 3

I would get the 40 pound tank. Although being that big the 100 pound cylinder would be nice.. If space is an issue then you will just be able to use the 20 pound cylinder.

Answer 4

all propan tanks are standard,and should fot your grill fine,,a 25# tank will work well
