Now that the El Nino has waned a bit in California, my SO and I decided to
buy a gas BBQ. We liked the Webber models, but since it costs so much,
we decided to buy a Kenmore model for ~$200. BAD CHOICE! We got it home,
assembled it, got disgusted with the poor quality and workmanship and
returned it the very next day! Then we got a Webber 900 for $420 minus 10%
discount + tax. 

The Webber model came with a tank equipped with OPD (overfilling
protection device) and the connection to the hose is a "Quick Disconnect"
type. This type of connection is also known as "Hansen" or "Type II"
connection. Even though the Webber models have a handy "fuel gauge", being
the engineer that I am, I decided to invest in a spare tank so that I
never run out of propane in the middle of cooking. 

Sears & OSH only sell tanks with Type I connectors (threads on the
outside), Target does not sell any tanks, and the Home Depot has the "Blue
Rhino"  exchange service which is a rip off. (It will cost $14 to exchange
an empty cylinder for a filled one, whereas I can get an empty cylinder
filled at U-Haul for $6.) 

One option is to buy a cylinder with Type I connection and then use a Type
I to Type II converter. But that would push the cost of the cylinder from
$30 to $50!  So, where do I buy 20-lb propane tanks with Type II
connectors?
