Refilling Propane Cylinders..?

[cruiser88]

Do you guys know where I can get one of these "adapters?"

no...sorry...perhaps Wall mart.

 

[Skillet]

Did you loose yours?

No. I was being a smartass.

I know, it is so unlike me that it caught you off guard.

Sorry.

Our scout troop keeps about 10 little green bottles and I refill them regularly from my 5lb tank. I just follow the instructions and freeze the little guys for about 15 minutes, invert the large tank with the adapter screwed on, screw on the little bottle and open the large tank valve. When the hissing stops I close the large tank valve and unscrew the little tank. By weight, it 'feels' like I can usually get them about 3/4 full on a refill. In the several years I've been doing this, I've only had one bottle I couldn't get to stop leaking, even after trying all the tips that have already been listed above. Now I'll refill each one 3-4 times and then toss them for saftey reasons.

FIL bought it for me. No idea where he purchased it. Try Harbor Freight tho, I know he loves that place!

Cannot remember where, but I have heard you can get them from cabelas too.

Well .....got a link?

 

[knoll0351]

Skillet's got jokes, but does anyone know if you can get one of those filler things at cabelas?

 

[Brentbba]

Cabelas must be out of stock if Skillet has tried there.

I'm going to make one. Wish me luck.

Where are you going to get the "adapter?"

Someone posted a link to where you can get it, not sure where.

Let me know.

 

[joshoisasleep]

OK is there some kind of huge, hilarious running inside joke about the word "adapter" in this thread?

I don't think one of those little green bottles will hold 40 gallons.

I was going to let you find one and buy it and then I was going to borrow it.
