Best Propane Delivery Services

Buy on Cynch.com

Available in several major metropolitan areas in the United States, Cynch — formerly known as Propane Taxi — makes it completely painless to get fueled up for your cookout. It even has next-day delivery.

You can either order a tank exchange for about $21 or get a new tank for roughly $65. The propane tanks are certified, tested for leaks, and are precision-filled to a propane weight of 15 pounds. Shipping is included, and you don’t need to be home for the delivery person to exchange and drop off the new tank right at your doorstep.

For exchanges, Cynch will take your old tank, no matter the brand or condition. Reviewers rave about the company's reliable service and ease of the whole experience. While not explicitly part of the service, some reviewers say that delivery people have even been willing to attach the new tanks to their grills.

Live in New Jersey? Order propane from Jack Gas for the clever name alone. Go to the site and create an account. Next, order online, or give them a call to set up delivery.

A full 20-pound tank exchange will run you about $20, and a new tank without an exchange is roughly $60. If you don’t have one to trade, just click on "order extra tank," so you get a filled tank. Jack Gas gives you more value for your money, as many hardware stores and other propane companies will fill even 20-pound tanks to just 15 pounds.

With Jack Gas, you get the full 20 pounds of propane. You do need to plan ahead from this mom-and-pop operation, as there are different delivery days for different regions, and sometimes even a one-week lead time.

Delivery is available only in New Jersey.

Kangaroo is basically the Uber of Propane. Download the app, order the tank you want from a variety of sizes, and mark whether you want an exchange or a new tank. You can even get same-day service.

Just like Uber, you pay through the app and get tracking information so you’ll know exactly when your tank is delivered. That way, your tank doesn’t have to sit out in front of your door without you knowing. Once your order is received, a driver will be dispatched to exchange or drop off a new one at your door, no contact necessary. You can even tip the driver through the app.

A 20-pound tank exchange is around $25, but Kangaroo Propane has a variety of sizes as well. There's also 24/7 customer support through the app if you have any issues. While delivery is currently available in Chicago and South Florida, Kangaroo is definitely the future of propane delivery,

Buy on Cynch.com

Cynch is the grill tank propane delivery arm of AmeriGas, the country’s largest propane retailer.

You can schedule a delivery by going to the company's website and registering. Upon ordering, include whether you are doing a tank exchange or getting a new tank and propane, the date you want delivery, and where you want the driver to pick up your old tank and leave your new one. You can choose to have them pick up from your front door or backyard, and you can get delivery in as little as three days. The company delivers five days a week.

Once your delivery is scheduled, just leave out your empty tank and the delivery person will exchange it for a full one. You don’t even need to be home. The company doesn’t currently have same-day or next-day delivery, so you will need to plan ahead.

If you’re exchanging a tank, 15 pounds of propane will cost around $20. If you don’t have a tank to exchange, a spare one and propane will cost you roughly $50. Both rates include the price of delivery. Plus, you can also have Cynch remove any unwanted used propane tanks upon request.

Riding the subway to get your propane tank refilled? Lugging it up the stairs to store it while you wait for the big barbecue? That's never ideal.

Big Apple Propane, which has been around for two decades, offers fast delivery to the New York City area with excellent customer service—though we recommend planning ahead, especially before holiday weekends.

To order, you’ll need to give them a call or email them and schedule a delivery. A 20-pound tank exchange is about $40. The company makes deliveries Monday through Saturday and will give you a specific delivery window. You’ll need to be home for the delivery because in New York City, you can’t expect a delivery to still be there if it’s left outside.

Just make sure you follow the city’s strict barbecue guidelines, and note that only one- and two-family homes are allowed to have propane grills. So, if you’re in a bigger building, you’ll have to stick to electric or charcoal ones depending on the space.
