Thanks. I got the tank, though not in Manhattan. One hardware store I talked to said that no one in Manhattan carries them because the insurance is too high.

I saw something on the news about this the other day...They seemed to indicate that while a lot of people have them, they are not actually legal in most of Manhattan..which might be why you can't buy them..:-)

There is a guy that has a business that will deliver Propane tanks to your apartment in Manhattan. His name is Tony and his number is 718-626-8111.

Be careful not to have it dropped off with a doorman as they tend to get very nervous about it.

nybalcony--might that be tony soprano ??? LOL!!

If you are in a multi-family dwelling in NYC propane tanks are illegal, period. No exceptions.
Single unit homes can have small tanks (20lbs or under).
I know a curbside vendor using gas needs to complete a training course in order to connecting the hoses, but that may not apply for use in a single family home.
It's a whole lot easier & safer to use charcoal with a chimney starter!

We aren't allowed to use charcoal, either (in Manhattan, anyway). Electric seems to be the only choice.

Wow! I'm glad I don't live in manhattan!

Call Tony's LPG.....718 626-8111
