I’m not particularly paranoid by nature, but the internet can sure make you that way. After reading enough posts about propane tanks being stolen, I decided to do a simple mod to secure the tanks on my 216RBK.

I drilled a hole through the giant wing-nut and a matching pair through the security bar that keeps the tanks in place. I bought a long shackle combination padlock to go through the holes and while I’m not stopping a determined thief, I am slowing them down a bit.
