Once AGAIN.... Do not refill inside....
(Especially near open flames)

This has been discussed several times. They are called DISPOSABLE for a reason. I know there are members who do it, and take the proper precautions but as someone who makes their living in Propane and has seen more stupid stuff than you can imagine, (propane piped with PVC for example), refilling these things is dangerous and NOT recommended.

Oh that is a good one! Propane piped with PVC. What could possibly go wrong.

My old boss at the asphalt plant was proud of himself for having figured out how to refill disposables off of our main propane tank.
Then he was told that if he did it, or told anyone to do it, it would be considered an intentional unsafe act, and consequences would occur.

I have always wanted to buy one of those adapters to do it but have read too many times that they start to leak after a few refills. That tells me right there that I should not try it.

Large propane distributor near me sells the refilled bottles for 10/$5 :

I've got 5, refilled several of them many times.


But I don't refill them inside near a stove, and store them outside.

I've got the coupler for refilling and I've done it a few times to familiarize myself with the procedure, but basically I have the coupler for SHTF scenario rather than doing it to save money.

Exactly....good point!

 

[CORangefinder]

Can it be done safely? Sure. I do it pretty regularly. Some people could hurt themselves with a roll of toilet paper. Put a little thought into the process and it's not a big issue.

I've never had a leak yet from the adapter. I've refilled in excess of 100 1lb bottles from 20lb tanks.
