Default 2 gallon propane tank?

I am curious if anyone is using or has experience using the smaller tank. I really don't torch THAT much and am thinking about scaling back to a smaller tank... Pro's and Con's? Thanks

I did not know they made 2gal. tanks......the 5gal is nice and portable but from the standpoint of not doing a whole lot or doing beads every so often.....no big deal.....where are these 2gal tanks?

~Have a good one

You mean a 5 pounder, right? That would be about 2 gallons.

What's wrong with having a 20 pounder, except for the weight?

Smallest tank made is probably a 4.25 pounder, or 1 gallon...

Be aware that these tanks are more expensive to fill as most places have a minimum charge for fill and that usually equates to a 5 gallon or 20 pound tank...
