A Convenient 1lb Propane (LPG) Canister for your Portable Gas Stove

Zeer tevreden mee

The price is ridiculous, if you are not using a lot and keeping them for years. That said, (with the filler system $12. walmart) these are easy and safe (IMO) to use as directed. I ordered 2 at first and one more after filling them. I am very sure that (eventually) I will save money and it surely will be more practical to have on hand, as opposed to having to find traditional propane bottles when needed.

We move these. We use a lot of propane. These save a TON of money. This is simple enough to refill my wife can do it. So much better than the green cans.

I bought 5 bottles and the refill kit. On filling the bottles I found that 1 of them was NOT doing what the others had done. The faulty one did not vent. Unfortunately for me it was the first one I tried to fill. So I mucked about checking all the connections. I was quite miffed thinking it was the new style of connection we now have. Anyway I tried another bottle and it vented/hissed, I could hear gas going in and all was well. I mucked around with that first bottle checked the vent as much as I could, made sure the vent hole was open, I could see the vent plunger moving outwards. But no improvement. I could feel that it had taken a small amount of gas. I was thinking that even though it had not vented some gas had been forced in from the larger fill bottle. To confirm this I connected it to a stove and yes it did have some gas. Given all this I wanted to return the bottle and started the process, but of course I even if I let it burn of it's contents through a stove i could not guarantee that it would be devoid of any gas. I spoke with customer service about my concerns of potentially sending a bomb through the mail and they agreed on a one of refund and I was left to get rid of the bottle. Don't let his put you off, the other 4 worked beautifully. They sure do take some gas. I just happened to get a dud in the mix, which has been dealt with. I guess I think on what to do with it. update. I removed the vent assembly and carefully re-connected the bottle to the refill system. I gave it a very small injection of gas to see if in fact it would went out. No luck, whatever is wrong is inside the bottle. I had a half hearted crack at taking the bottle apart. But the brass fitting is very well glued in. I think I'll leave it be.
