The FlameSaver Propane Tank Lets Grillers Cook with Confidence

April 2004/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Backyard grillers can now cook with confidence, knowing that with the new FlameSaver Propane Tank with built-in reserve, they won't unexpectedly run out of gas. FlameSaver was designed with a patented reserve feature that provides additional grilling time after the main fuel supply runs out. Worthington Cylinders, a Worthington Industries Company (NYSE:WOR), introduced FlameSaver in response to consumer research that identified the number one concern of all grillers: running out of gas mid-meal.

FlameSaver is easy to use and operates and refills like a standard 20- pound tank. When the main fuel supply runs out, a flip of the patented Reserve Switch gives grillers approximately 60 minutes additional grilling time. The extra grilling time is particularly important because, among consumers who use their grills at least once a month, 86 percent do not keep an extra tank on hand, according to Worthington Cylinders consumer research.

"Consumers told us that running out of fuel mid-meal is inconvenient and - if guests are involved - embarrassing," said Worthington Cylinders Vice President of Global Business Development, Matt Lockard. "We designed FlameSaver to take the uncertainty, stress and embarrassment out of grilling. With FlameSaver, grillers are provided enough time to finish grilling their meal once the Reserve Switch is activated."

FlameSaver is available at select retail outlets, catalogs and online resources where propane accessories are sold. For more information, please call Worthington Cylinders at 866-249-6201 or visit www.FlameSaver.com.
