Ignik Gas Growler Deluxe Refillable Propane Tank - Black Travel Case - 5 lb

Video Transcript for Ignik Gas Growler Deluxe Propane Tank Review

Hi, everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the line of gas growlers from Ignik. These are gonna be portable propane tanks available in a 5 pound and a 10 pound size that are gonna be reusable, refillable, and provide you propane at the campsite. Let's check 'em out. So right away, these are all gonna come with a four-foot hose. You've got the female Type 1 fitting on one side that connects to your propane tank, and then the male 600 fitting on the other side that'll connect to other accessories such as a fire pit or maybe even a stove top for cooking The five-pound tank here, you can get on its own with just the tank or you can get it kitted with the case.

Now, personally, I really like the case. You can use the tank while it's in the case. The case itself is gonna have very thick padding all around, which gives great protection for the tank, but also all the gear around this whenever you are transporting it. Whenever you're transporting it, you can just close the lid, zip it all up, and it has the handle that you can use to carry it around on top, so it's really easy to transport. You've got webbing around the sides of the case that you can attach a carabiner or two, maybe hook on a pocket knife or something like that just so it's handy and with all your gear.

And even though it does sit a bit bigger, it's still pretty easy to find a space for it in your setup to store, like on this small teardrop camper. It fits perfectly in the cabinet right here, so it's tucked away and ready to go for when we need to use it. For the five pounder, you've got your choice of color if you do choose to get the case. You've got the blacked out version on my right and you've got the one that's white and brown. Honestly, I think both look great.

Functionally, they're gonna be the exact same, give you those great carrying handles and the webbing all around, as well as the protection for your tank. If you choose to opt for the 10-pound tank, that one only comes with the case. You can't get the tank on its own. Honestly though, I think, especially with this one, the case is essential because it makes carrying it around really easy. It's not super heavy.

It's got all the same features as you might find in the five pounder as well as the included hose and everything with that. So I think overall, having these cases makes transportation a lot easier and gives really good protection. So we're all familiar with these little green cans. These ones are really common to find and it's gonna be a one-pound capacity. What's nice about 'em is that they are very small and easy to fit into a spot, but they don't provide the same sort of capacity that are ones from Ignik do. Now, the one pound size is really nice because it is easy to transport, but having these tanks here, the five pound one's gonna last five times as long, the 10 pound one, 10 times as long as this small green tank right here. And these ones from Ignik can be refilled anytime that they become empty. Just go to a propane refill station, fill it up with 1.2 gallons for the smaller ones, or 2.5 gallons for the big 10 pounder and you're good to go. You can keep using these for a long time rather than having these small green ones that you throw out after they're done being used. Even though that the Ignik cans are physically bigger, I think in the long run, they do take up less space. If you we're to try to fit five of these into your camper or your vehicle, they're gonna end up taking up more space because they're just banging around loosely, getting damaged, potentially damaging other things, whereas this, it's just in one nice case, easy to pack away, and it's not gonna be moving around loosely. Even in the back of the car, they're gonna fit really well. Obviously, you've got more space in the back of our 4Runner here, and the 10 pound one definitely takes up more space than the five pound, but if you've got the room for it, it's definitely nice to get the extra capacity. All of the cans are gonna be DOT compliant, so if you're transporting them in your trailer, your car, your motorhome, it's gonna be safe to do that. I think the big benefit here is gonna be the increased capacity over those green cans that we're all familiar with. I know I've got some in my basement at home waiting for the next camping trip, and, honestly, I am really considering replacing it with one of these because that increased capacity is great. I don't have to worry about running out during a camping trip and I can get it refilled so I can continue to use this for a long period of time and not have to worry about wasting as much money on the cans, and I don't have to worry about creating as much waste. That's something really important to me and that my wife and I try to be really conscious about. And if I'm gonna be out enjoying nature on my camping trip, I don't wanna be creating waste in the process. I think these are a really nice way to do that, not to mention with the cases especially, they just look good and I think it would really add a nice touch to the campsite. And that'll do it for our look at the gas growlers from Ignik. I think if you go the Gas Growler Deluxe, the five pound tank, it's gonna be pretty easy to find space for in your camper or your car and it's gonna give you a lot more capacity. If you decide to go with a bigger one, the Gas Growler X, that one might be a little bit more difficult to find space for it, but it will give you a lot more capacity if you do have the room for it. Whichever one you go with though, I think it's gonna make a great addition to the setup. It's gonna save you money being able to refill these, you're not gonna be making as much waste, and overall for the capacity, I think it's gonna take up a lot less space. But that'll do it for our look at these portable propane tanks from Ignik. Thanks for watching..
