I didn't know that Home Depot dealt with CO2 canisters? I use Fort Worth Welding Supply on Riverside Dr. about halfway between I-30 and 183. That's not too far from Haltom City.
Another option is beverage distributors, both beer and pop. They use human consumption grade CO2 to drive their beverage dispensers being beer taps and fountain pop (both pre and post mix). As most of these operations have numerous dispensers they normally also have their own CO2 filling system and storage tank. I have found that the local Coca Cola distributor filled my 20# for about 60% of the welding shop price with no discussion of substituting my tank for one of their beaters. It took longer to pay for the CO2 and carry the tank to the people to fill than it did to fill the tank.
This may be a stupid question but do they have the bottles to purchase or do I have to bring them one? If I have to bring one where do I get the bottle?
I bought my canister from the welding shop and they just exchange it out with another one that's full for $15. The canister is a bit unsightly but I have a good hiding place for it. I had a hard time finding a smaller canister but they sold me the 20 lb. for $75 (filled) which seemed like a pretty good price to me at the time. The canister finally ran out of C02 the other day but it lasted for almost a year which surprised me.
When I move the tank to the living room, I will have to find a smaller tank to fit under the stand.
I go to Kimbrough Fire Extinguisher refill off of abrams and collins.

Mike, do you know of a good place to get a 10 lb. or less tank around our area? Does Kimbrough sell them? Do they fill your tank, or swap it out? Do they fill it while you wait or do you have to give them some time?
I bought my 10lb tank from them filled for about 80-90. You have to call them and tell them you want one. They then refurbish an old fire extinguisher with the proper valve and hydrostat test it and paint it. Mine works great and I've had it refilled twice now. Of course they painted it fire engine red! They fill it while you wait for 15. I have never had a short fill from them on 4 different tanks. I did, however, have 2 short fills in a row from the Beer Barn in Arlington. That's when I found Kimbrough. They're nice people.
CO2 in Hurst,Euless,Bedford anyone?
