I am brand new to this and wondering how long "approx." will 20lbs of propane last on a master forge 50.15 unit cooking at temps around 225 for brisket and butts. Getting my smoker from Lowes next week ,can't hardly wait..
We are lucky here in Huntsville...our local Costco has a propane refill station. They will refill a 20 pounder for $9.99....they will refill those huge 100 pound tanks too...don't know the cost tho.

In order to keep the costs down, Costco and many tank refill sites have put less propane in the tank. The weight for a full 20lb refill should be about 19lbs of propane, plus the weight of the empty tank (listed on band of tank as "TW" or tare weight.) Empty tanks are aprox 16lbs. so if you weight your tank when you get home. and it is less than 35lbs,... you been hosed Tommy. You did buy a refilled tank, just not a full one.We are lucky here in Huntsville...our local Costco has a propane refill station.
