Q grill was awesome. Had a lot of fun putting together a “legit” tailgate.
Thanks for all the input.
Only a W would have made it better.

Yeah, it's much cheaper. I was told never to mess with that valve, so I've never tried using it.
I knew you were an old geezer!
Glad it worked out.
Why bother refilling the bottles ? Use the 20lb tank with propane tree and hoses.
So to be clear you push down on the top valve and then fill it some more? Is that right? I saw a video where the guy said use some curved medical clamps to pull on that side value but your way sounds better.
I had a turkey fryer going at the Michigan game - used it to fry chicken. This has been done before, it's all good.
Correct. The valve that the adapter/regulator plugs into is the one you want to push down on while the cannister is upright. This will release the pressurized air and free up more space to hold the propane. If you start seeing white stuff coming out, that's the propane and you should stop. You will definitely smell the propane as you're releasing the gas, so don't worry about that. But after the first filling, you'll need to hold that valve down for a bit to get the air out.
Yup. Pretty familiar with this stuff. Thanks for the tip. Toting a few of these smaller one around is so much easier. And if you can get that much in them they'll more than last.
There's a spot near my son's house in pa that still fills a 20lb tank for $10!! So that's like fifty cents a bottle vs. now $7 in the stores.
Fracking . The one place I go to says they have always sold it for 10 and they always will for customer loyalty. They make their money on commercial accounts. My son's lake house has three 500lb tanks.
I saw one in the blue lot yesterday. No chance it’s allowed. My group ten years ago had a small duraflame in an aluminum turkey tray in a sparsely populated black lot and they were on us quick to put it out.
Needing a warming fire is a pretty uncommon use case these days, but in years past I was very successful with one of these Char-Griller portable grills. Fuel it with mesquite wood to make the best damn roast leg of lamb you'll ever have, then after you're done cooking just keep throwing wood into it. As long as you keep the fire reasonably low you won't have a problem with the cops. If they come by, just close the lid.
Olde Queens Island who won Tailgater of the Game had no issues with a fire pit yesterday.https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fh7QczhWAAE6qKF?format=jpg&name=medium

These suckers are handy when you can't have or don't want a wood fire. The rectangular ammo can package is much better for packing in a loaded vehicle.

Built to bring the warm glow of a campfire to your backyard, tailgate or campsite, the Ignik FireCan fire pit easily goes wherever you do—without the limitations of a traditional wood fire.
We are in Blue as well and there was a group in our isle that had a Solo Stove going. The cops walked past it and said nothing, if I knew this was going to be acceptable I would have brought mine. I guess I should have just done it, "Its easier to ask for forgiveness than permission"
