Ignik Portable Propane Gas Growler Review

[@annexrider26]

I have this same tank and was looking for a mount came across your video. Then saw you drive into the ACE and I knew exactly where you are at I live in that area as well.

[@SHWELL11]

I have a similarly sized tank from Amazon (it was a deal of the day, so less than the ignik unit). Very convenient. I now have a choice of 5#, 11#, and 20#.. i also have a refill kit for the 1 pound tanks, works great in a pinch.

[@SHWELL11]

That price is borderline insulting to me. King has a $90 version which is too high as well in my opinion.

[@Ruger41mag]

@@SHWELL11 Agree - expensive ......

[@DSD]

@@SHWELL11 - does the King version have a carrying case? I tried to search for other solutions but haven't been very lucky in that regard...

[@tjellis1479]

@@SHWELL11 buy once cry once...dinner and a movie kills $90.00 these days. Buy one-own it for life.

[@SHWELL11]

@@tjellis1479 most of the time (99%) i would agree. After 2 years I've had no reason to buy a replacement for the less expensive options.

[@schoolbus7573]

i think all tanks larger than the 1 pound bottles are refillable. what makes them more special than the other companies. Thanks,

[@TrailFire]

Can we help you with your briefcase grill situation?

[@project_poor_runner]

Finally bought one of these and cannot get it to fill. The float is either stuck or the valve is bad. Apparently it’s common on their newer tanks.

[@johnatanmataban6791]

Mine started leaking so had to return it to REI, turns out there was an ongoing issue with the regulator.

[@Mike-pb7jm]

Cool tank and great video. Commenting on old video to correct if others see - the 1 lb tanks are refillable. They need proper certification, a DOT approved refill kit, and a propane filler willing to fill them

[@lpis45]

Can you add a link for fj bracket? Thank you in advance and thank you for your service. Just ordered tank off your store. All I need now is bracket for my fj. Great video

Hi! Are you using pressure regulator? that was that red stuff connected to the tank? or just a regular hose? i bought a jetboil genesis baecamp stove and the same Ignik 5lb gas tank but doesnt work. the both is brand new. i connected the ignik hose to the jetboil fuel input side and doesnt work. the gas doesnt running to the stove. i need pressure regulator or something else?

[@marceld6061]

The question I have is this: How long is the tank approved for? i.e. What is the expiry date on the tank? 20lb tanks have a date whereby they can no longer be filled without testing/valve replacement, etc. The problem is that 20lb tanks are cheap in comparison to the 5lb ones.

[@guy6054]

from what ive seen its 12 years but can be re certified. I'd find a local place that will do deals on bulk certs and do multiple tanks at once.

[@elelyon555]

Awesome video, got to see the cute size of the growler, it’s case n all. I like the car bracket, too, thank you! 👍🏼💥

[@thegearbunker9842]

Thanks for watching!

[@HeyImTyyy]

Can you use this 5 pound with a Mr heater big buddy? I know you can use a 20 pound on it but I can't seem to find info on using the 5 pound with it

[@thegearbunker9842]

The connections to a 20lb cylinder are the same as this 5lb cylinder.

[@lesstraveled4740]

Not a bad set up especially when you might be moving it from one vehicle to another.

[@thegearbunker9842]

agreed

[@DesertR4T]

I see a lot of people storing these on their side. A propane tank with gas in it should be store upright unless it was designed to be used horizontally with the valve on top.

[@fwtadventures6226]

I dig your garage! What sea kayaks am I seeing!?

[@thegearbunker9842]

Thanks! My wife and I have a couple of Current Designs kayaks. I have a Kevlar Expedition HV. And she paddles a Fiberglass Solstice GT.

[@BBBYpsi]

Right what I have been looking for. I also will use the 5 lb propane tank to refill the 1 lb tanks once they are empty for my mr. buddy heaters.

[@thegearbunker9842]

Great idea. Thanks for tuning in.

[@SteelerLos]

U cant get it to work on your buddy Heater? I cant. Really annoying and I don’t know why.

[@adamaustin3373]

where did that car bracket come from?

[@SteelerLos]

I can’t get mine to work with the Coleman stove or buddy heater. So annoying. Anyone else?

[@edvinsandovalmonrroy4438]

5 gallon or 5 pounds? im confused

[@thegearbunker9842]

Sorry for the confusion, the growler holds 1.2 gallons of LP

[@RE3B00T]

Wish the price point was a little less. However the product is great and the quality is there. I might just cave in one day and buy it

[@thegearbunker9842]

Agreed. But ultimately, it's good for the environment and still a solid product.

[@waltonfritz9565]

There is 92000btu to a gallon of propane so what ever you use check the btu usage divide that into 92000 that will tell you how many hours you get for 1 gallon of propane small tank

[@thegearbunker9842]

Thanks for that info.

[@ivansolares2448]

Wait what the name of that stove? Where can I buy one?

[@thegearbunker9842]

It's a Cook Partner Stove from Partner Steel. cookpartnerstove.com/product/partner-steel-cook-partner-22-inch-2-burner-propane-stove-with-windscreen/

Does Ace charge you for 20 lbs?

[@thegearbunker9842]

No, they just charge me the amount filled.

[@shupingyin8082]

Love it. I care for the environment and thinking of getting one

[@thegearbunker9842]

That's a great reason.

[@kevindouglas8768]

I just learned about the 5 lb tanks today. I was looking for something smaller than 20 ob because it's gotta fit in a closet in my camper.

[@thegearbunker9842]

Its a convenient size for sure

[@thegearbunker9842]

Thanks!

[@totoroben]

Bought a 5lb flame king propane bottle from Costco online for $50 shipped and a $16 braided metal hose adapter. U-Haul will fill that pre-purged tank for $6.50. Not the cheapest option maybe, but you may not be able to fill small sized cylinders everywhere.

[@amigomason]

I was trying to compare the differences. Probably going the same route for half the price. Which braided hose kit did you get?

[@amigomason]

Also the Costco tank has a built in gage. Do you find that useful?

[@totoroben]

@@amigomason it's okay. I think it's better to weigh it if you want to confirm what's really in it.

[@Greg-tj8rg]

Saving money, the environment, and it's more convenient. What's not to love

[@thegearbunker9842]

Exactly, a win-win. Thanks for tuning in.

[@Inp3erp3tuity]

The little green bottles are refillable with a 6 dollar adapter on Amazon.. You can refill them yourself. I hate it when people throw those bottles out.

[@thegearbunker9842]

Good suggestion

[@franquil85conn]

It's not safe to refill those, but best of luck

[@averagerider92]

Do you need a gas regulator when connecting this to a stove?

[@thegearbunker9842]

yes, but it includes a regulated gas hose

[@Mikeyggg-xg2yx]

Has anyone had a problem where it won't take in any propane?? Got mine in yesterday and 2 places tried to refill and nothing ..

[@1111atreides]

Brother, I need a 5 # tank and checked out your vid and then your channel. Pretty typical stuff. But then I saw your Runnin' and Gunnin. :-) Subscribed.

[@thegearbunker9842]

Thanks for the sub!

[@bflamm86]

So 25lb is cheaper to start hose adaptors are available for stove buddy heater use. You can even find 1lb bottle refill adapters for 25lb bottles why is this option so freaking expensive.

[@DSD]

Man is the cost of that reasonable? Or would it be better to buy a 5lbs tank from HomeDepot/Amazon and get the hose? I suppose the case is a nice upgrade but damn that's expensive? What's your thought on that?

[@thegearbunker9842]

It's a bit pricey but having the case is a nice feature for hauling in a vehicle bed. Also, I needed this smaller size to mount to the back of my FJ Cruiser. A 5 gallon tank wouldn't fit for my application. So it made sense to me. It's more about getting rid of the disposable 1lb green tanks and using something that's refillable.

[@DSD]

@@thegearbunker9842 - thanks for the reply - its funny because I was just looking at these things again and then I saw your reply. I agree with you on the green bottles - what a PITA. I wish this thing was a bit cheaper but honestly the case, so it's not rolling around in the truck, seems like it would be worth it.

My local gas station sells these size tanks full got $20 had to pick one up got camping

[@peppitachips1764]

Why are mini propane tanks a lot more expensive?

Smaller more specialized market

[@davidmeza3157]

Thank you.

[@roryvanucchi2392]

Like it for smaller size but price is ridiculous when I can buy top quality 30 lb Worthington tank for about $65. People come up with an angle and gauge the public. I prefer butane or dual fuel gas one stoves, butane can lasts about a week and is so much smaller. Winter butane not so good and propane the better choice.

[@tomahawksteak6672]

When you took your new tank to get filled did they have to purge it or just fill it ? I read online that new tanks are purged at the factory . Other sites say you have to get it purged.

[@thegearbunker9842]

I do recall Ace Hardware purging the tank. I believe they do that for any new tank regardless. No extra cost.

[@mattwaters6987]

Always store and travel your propane cylinders upright. Never horizontally.

[@thegearbunker9842]

Good advice

[@TheWildpanda86]

I have the same propane mount for Refined. What strap are you using to secure it to the mount? Care to share a link to the website?

[@thegearbunker9842]

I just purchased a stainless steel duct clamp on Amazon.

[@waltonfritz9565]

There are 5 small bottles to one small 5lb tank

[@ShortArmStrongArm]

Why in the world does it need the padded and insulated case? 5 pound containers have been available for decades. This company did nothing special except put it in a lunchbox.

[@tjellis1479]

FYI....simple basic propane math by the pound for you. tank weight# divide 4 = gallons of propane. so 5lb tank / 4 = about 1.25 gallons of propane. 20lb/4....5 gallons of propane....more or less :)

[@thegearbunker9842]
