Are the discounts real?

Only 31 of 316 listings showed a crossed-out price (typical markdown 20%). Most of the catalog is sold at a plain price, so a sale tag on this store is the exception.

Returns, warranty and shipping

Flame King says orders placed on its site are typically processed in one to two business days, counting Monday to Friday. Its refund page asks you to email support if more than 15 business days pass after a return is approved. The passage we read did not state the return window, and gas equipment that has been filled or used is commonly excluded, so ask.

Terms change, and the wording on the day you order is what counts. Save a copy with your order confirmation.

What to check before you buy

  • New cylinders ship empty. Budget for the first fill.
  • Portable DOT cylinders must be re-qualified, typically 12 years after the manufacture date stamped on the collar. Check the date on arrival.
  • Consumer tanks of 4 to 40 lb need an overfill prevention (OPD) valve to be refilled in the United States.
  • Match hose and regulator fittings to your appliance, and leak-test every new connection with soapy water.

Who it suits

A reasonable choice if

  • You refill your own tanks for grilling, RV or camping use.
  • You know which fittings your appliances use.

Look elsewhere if

  • You only grill a few times a year. An exchange tank is simpler.
  • You are unsure about connecting gas fittings safely.
