CO2 cylinders & fills

[jeffsmith]

Awesome. I'm good for hydro until 2013, so a fill is all I need. Thanks again.

Thanks for the recommendation fair. Got my tank filled while I waited. Was in and out of Brunswick Fyr in less than 10 minutes. Looks like they've got my business.

WOW!!!    pricey..

Yeah,
Like I said earlier, one of the very few things I miss about living in the centre of the universe was the $20 fills, which quickly became $20 swap outs, of course I did have to drive half way to hell and back to get them, and yup there really is only one real CO2 place in all of the GTA.
When I first got here I damn near passed out when they said $55 with straight face.
I have in the past tried a little group buy conversation, but unfortunately it's one of the toughest things to get people united on, since most of the tanks are rented in some fashion, and the early discussions were pretty unproductive, because even if we all got on board, and then we all went through a couple of tanks a year, it doesn't amount to a hill of beans compared to the fire extinguisher biz, or any other gas user, so I don't think there's enough volume to make it worth getting into it just yet, or possibly ever.

Yep, they're nice guys and all over in the Industrial Park there but it's a slap in the face to pay that price for CO2 around here.
I know brew mentioned this many times that he knows Kennedy in Oromocto... I own tanks and I would jump in on a group deal.

This is an old message and this doesn't apply to everyone but I was asked to clarify;

George Kennedy does not live in Oromocto, he lives just before the Fredericton airport.
He picked up and dropped of my tank at my house before the weekend the other day. Needless to say it was much appreciated.
Nice guy and good prices too.

price for the fill? and what size tank? just so others know

FYI,
Kennedy has a 5lb. refurbished tank for $65+tax.
Its basically a tank (cast iron) and a new valve. Its full of CO2 and ready to go.
Just in case someone was thinking of getting into it.
