Propane tank?

[opn.livejournal.com]

Is there somewhere within easy walking distance of Davis Square where I can get a propane tank filled for my grill?

Alas, not within walking distance.

No. Local (or state?) ordinances prevent anywhere in Somerville from filling propane tanks.

The Home Depot at Assembly Square used to have a tank exchange- you would bring in an empty tank and pay for a full tank. I haven't noticed it lately, so I'm not sure if it's still there.

The BJ wholesale club in Medford (http://www.google.com/maps?hl=en&lr=&client=safari&rls=en&q=bj&near=Medford,+MA&cid=0,0,9207119941904493570&ll=42.412386,-71.079302&spn=0,.02&sa=X&oi=local&ct=image) will fill your tank whether or not you are a member. You pay inside; the tank filling is at the back of the building (off of 28).

the uhaul place on boston ave/route 16 will fill them as well.... still kind of a hike, but not too far.

hmmm, other than bicycles and "large pets", I can't find any restrictions on what you can and can't carry on the T, though the performers permit seems to reference some rules that google doesn't seem to know anything about.
I do think someone'd get upset if you took a large bottle of propane on the subway though.

another uhaul

the uhaul in central sq at the intersection of main st and mass ave also does propane refills.
