My folks seem to "need" to go to Costco every couple of weeks, and are all too happy to take my tanks to refill. Co-op wants about $22 for a fill from empty (20lb tank), so it isn't even close. Especially if I have propane mules for parents.
Steering us back a little bit, I picked up a
couple of these 9x13" aluminum trays for my convection/toaster oven and I would highly recommend them if you like cooking things on the BBQ but don't necessarily want to grill or use a basket. Mushrooms with some butter, salt, and pepper, for example.
My shelf is 7" deep, so this overhangs by 2" but is in no danger of falling, it works really well and gives me more real estate.
Apparently non-stick coatings on other cooking sheets shouldn't be used over 400-425°F, but plain old aluminum is just fine. They aren't non-stick per se, but you shouldn't be cooking that dry anyway.
And they clean up easily, and they don't have to be babied.
I also like pan frying potato chunks in a cast iron skillet and they turn out nice and crispy. They take a while though, so start those early.
