With warmer weather upon us, it is imperative that those of you who cook with grills

that use the portable propane tanks be aware of this potential new threat.

Meth cooks are using portable propane tanks, emptying the propane and refilling them

with anhydrous ammonia, which they need to make meth. After using the tanks, they

may exchange them back at these refill stations where they are recycled, and

consumers like you and I then get them.

This is very dangerous as anhydrous ammonia is very corrosive and weakens the

structure of the tank (which is why they exchange them). It can be very dangerous

when mixed with propane and hooked up to our grills, etc.

You should inspect any propane tank for any blue or greenish residue around the valve

areas. If it is present, refuse to purchase that one.

Very good advice Salmon Fan.  I personally just have the tank that came with the grill refilled which is the safest way to know everything is okay, plus it is cheaper.

Where do you get it filled at? I just asked my hubby how much more gas we had, I love summer time and cooking out, I even do it in the winter.


As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. 

You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

True Value  Hardware is a great place to get it refilled. That is where we take our tanks.

Tru Value is also where I go.  Yes they are on Broadway in north Anderson.  You are right they got all kinds of goodies in there.  I love that place.  You can also go to Ferrell gas on the corner of 25/Arrow during the week and used to be til noon on saturday.  Not sure of the hours now days.
