A Smart Upgrade For Campers, Tailgaters, And Backyard Grillers
by Mark Smiley
The Ignik Gas Growler keeps a portable propane supply safely off the table and on the ground, connecting to camp stoves and tabletop grills with a flexible hose.
If you’ve ever packed a cooler, camping gear, and a portable grill, only to discover several green one-pound propane bottles rolling around in the back of your vehicle, the Ignik Gas Growler offers a much better solution.
The refillable propane system replaces disposable propane cylinders with a compact, refillable tank that is easier to transport, less wasteful, and more economical over the long run. After spending time with the Growler, it’s easy to see why it has developed such a loyal following among campers, tailgaters, and outdoor enthusiasts.
The Ignik Gas Growler is available in several sizes, but the five-pound model is the sweet spot for most users. It provides enough fuel for multiple weekends of camping while remaining light enough to carry with one hand. The rugged protective sleeve includes padded handles, a sturdy base, and a high-quality hose that connects directly to most portable propane grills, camp stoves ,and fire pits.
One of my favorite features is also one of the simplest. Because the Growler connects with a flexible hose, the propane tank can remain safely on the ground while your portable grill sits on a picnic table or folding table. Anyone who has struggled to balance a one-pound propane bottle underneath a tabletop grill will immediately appreciate the convenience. It creates a much more stable cooking setup, keeps the heavier tank off the table, and frees up valuable workspace.
Another major advantage is cost. Disposable propane bottles have become increasingly expensive, often costing several dollars each. Refilling a five-pound propane tank costs considerably less on a per pound basis. Frequent campers and tailgaters can recover t
The Ignik Gas Growler replaces disposable one pound propane cylinders with a durable, refillable five pound tank housed in a rugged protective sleeve.
he initial investment surprisingly quickly.
The environmental benefits are equally appealing. Millions of disposable propane cylinders are thrown away every year. By switching to one refillable tank, outdoor enthusiasts can significantly reduce waste while enjoying the same convenience.
The build quality is excellent. The protective sleeve feels durable enough to withstand years of camping trips, and the hose and fittings inspire confidence. Nothing about the Growler feels cheap or poorly designed. Instead, it has the feel of a premium product built for regular outdoor use.
With the premium feel, comes a premium price. The Ignik Gas Growler retails for $149.95 so it is significantly more expensive than buying a handful of disposable propane bottles. You’ll also need to refill the tank at a propane filling station rather than simply purchasing a replacement cylinder at the grocery store. Fortunately, propane refill stations are readily available at many hardware stores, RV dealers, and propane suppliers.
For anyone who enjoys camping, tailgating, overlanding, RV travel, or even grilling at the neighborhood park, the Ignik Gas Growler is an outstanding investment. The convenience of a refillable system, the lower long term operating cost and the ability to place the tank safely on the ground while cooking make it one of those products you quickly wonder how you lived without.
