I've been using this tank when camping for several years. It is great with a "Propane Distribution Tree" that allows a lantern to be mounted on top and hoses for stoves to attach to the side. I normally place it on top of the campground picnic table.The tank is very portable and very stable due to the wide base. It appears to be more stable than the available 10 and 11 pound tanks.
Even though it's a small tank, the much larger mass than 1 pound disposable cylinders prevents the common loss of pressure that happens when the small cylinders approach empty and they "freeze-up".
The only downsides are due to the limited capacity, and difficulty in getting a good fill. This tank is so short that the "Overfill Prevention Device", which is a float valve, tends to shut off early if the technician tries to fill too fast. Ask them to just crack the fill valve and you will will get a better fill. Still, the usable capacity is just 4.2 pounds or about the same as 4 disposable cylinders.
Of course the price is a problem. 20 pound tanks are cheap, anything bigger or smaller is a lot more. I presume it's due to lower sales volume. The price was worth it to me due to the ease of use.
