Propane-Cylinder Refill and Exchange Services

Coyne helps keep your cookout going!

When warm weather comes to northern and central Michigan, we’re ready to get out and enjoy the season. That enjoyment often involves time in our backyard, having family and friends over.

Propane cylinders can make your backyard a favorite destination. But an empty propane cylinder puts an end to a cookout.

Coyne makes it easy for you to always have enough propane in your cylinder. We have 18 propane-cylinder refill and exchange locations throughout our service area, so there’s one near you. You can choose to refill your own cylinder or exchange it for a fresh, full, clean and safe cylinder. We accept any brand of propane cylinder as long as it’s certified and safe to use.

Propane cylinders do much more than grill

While you know that propane cylinders are used for propane BBQ grills, that’s only the beginning of what they can do!

Propane cylinders come in several sizes and shapes for a wide variety of uses. In your backyard, they can be used for firepits, outdoor fireplaces and patio heaters. They also power portable generators and space heaters, which come in handy for people living off the grid.

RVers use propane cylinders for heating, air conditioning, water heating, cooking, and refrigeration. Campers use propane cylinders for heating and to power camp stoves.

Businesses use propane cylinders for forklifts and for temporary heating at construction and other job sites.

Use your propane cylinders safely

When used properly, propane cylinders have a strong safety record. But you need to know how to use, handle and transport them safely. Here are some tips:

• Don’t leave your propane cylinder (empty or full) in your car for long periods when bringing it for exchange or refill, especially in hot weather.
• If possible, come straight to our cylinder refill and exchange site and go directly home. If not, plan your outing so that this is the last stop you make before going home.
• Always keep your cylinder upright when you are transporting it, whether it’s empty or full. Propane can leak when the cylinder is on its side.
• Store your propane cylinder outdoors and not in a garage, a shed, a carport, or a covered porch.
• Keep propane cylinders off bare ground, as wet ground can cause the tank to rust. Placing it on a wood pallet is good for keeping it dry.
• Never smoke while handling a propane cylinder or even when near it.
