I refill our propane tank at my local Tractor Supply Store (its the cheapest per gallon price in our area)....i roll up & they pull out the hose, couldn't be more simple.

most propane refill stations (u-haul & ace hardware for example) have large tanks and a long hose. I have also filled at Petro / Flying-J truck stops, when i filled up the diesel tanks.
