Refillable 1LB Empty Propane Cylinder Tank (2-Pack)

We have used these during 6 weeks of car camping (when backpacking, we would shift to our MSR Whisperlite White Gas stoves). We teamed these up with the FlameKing two-burner stove and both the stove and the REFILLABLE bottles worked like champs (mostly, there were a few minor issues related to wind with the stove). I was able to use a simple and cheap connector for a 5 - 40 lbs propane tank to connect with these one-pound REFILLABLE bottles (connector sold separately) and everything worked easily and perfectly well. It was easy to fill these tanks (once I figured out the simple bleeder valve) although it required me to turn my propane tank on its head and position it next to a step where I could get the right angle for filling these tanks. BTW, some tank connectors you can buy come with a stand upon which you can place your larger propane (source) tank. In terms of use, we brought with us four full bottles to use over the 6 weeks. During that six weeks, we car-camped (used these as our only fuel source for all cooking) about 14 nights/days. Each day, we used them for breakfast (heating up water or more) and dinner (again, heating up water or more). We used both burners about 25% of the time. We used the burner on the lowest setting possible to get the job done but often were nearly maxed out. On rare occasion, we used both burners on max. I am guessing that we used the FlameKing stove (with these tanks) at least a total of 10 hours and we used up ONLY about 1.75 tanks. That means, we still had over two full tanks to go!! That's rather amazing. Did I say these are REFILLABLE? For years we resisted buying a car-camping stove because we would look in the trasn of campgrounds etc and see piles and piles of one-time use propane tanks. Given that we are camping to be closer to nature (and not destroy it), we just resisted buying these stoves and instead used our backpacking stoves (MSR Whisperlites... that were always refillable). THEN, we found these! And, initially hesitant, we bought the filler connector (between source and one-pound tanks) and the FlameKing two-burner stove. WOW! What a GREAT addition AND there's NO tank waste!! We just use these tanks until empty (again, many many hours of use at low flame levels or, according to Flame King, about one hour of use with BOTH burners set on Max). Then, when done, we just toss them in the trunk or roof box and bring them home to refill and reuse again and again. (Or, in a pinch, we could pay some nice RVer for a pound of propane and continue with a single tank.) So, this is one of the very few REFILLABLE TANKS on the market and they work absolutely great! Car-Camping is now glamping for us... with our FlameKing set up. Could not be happier.

Amazing Amazing product. Works perfectly as advertised. Sized just like a Coleman tank despite the added features of being able to refill it. Fits perfectly with every appliance that you can use a Coleman tank with. So much cheaper to refill than re-buying Coleman tanks. Pays for itself in like two refills.

I use them with my Flame King heater, and there is a world of difference from refilling throwaway cans. These can threads are brass (not steel), and mate perfectly with the heater brass fittings. Little danger of cross threading (from rough steel threads) and leaks. Also, they don't leak from either valve, when in storage. Refilled throwaways always leave propane scent in storage, after being bubble tested. These do not. ................ I bought two more of these because I have to use portable propane indoors for heat (Calif utility rates are unbelievable). I now refill them, 8 at a time, because setup takes most of the refill time. Please note that parts subject to leak on these are made of brass, which needs to be sprayed with a soap solution every time. Refilling throw-away cans is only for the foolish. Their orfices are made of steel, that rusts and corrodes. Their steel can is thin gauge, and rusts easily. Please do your homework on this. ............ I have a lot of Flame King products, and they are quality. They are also overpriced, and a lot cheaper at the mart store. I deducted two stars because it cost me too much. After using them more, and watching videos of cutaways of disposable and Mr Heater tanks, I like Flame King tanks a lot more, and give them 5 stars. It is all about safety, and disposable tanks not only leak with valves intended for short life, but also rust, and have thin walls. Mr Heater is better, but it has a secondary venting pin needed to vent, when refilling; simple is good, and I have no use for idiot-proof extra hardware, when Flame Kings simple Allen wrench does the same job, and is less likely to fail.

UPDATE 2/12/24: I got another pair and that pair had the rings done properly, so the round bottom of the tank does not make contact with the surface it's placed on and thus doesn't wobble. Flame King should put some more quality control into making sure it's done right as the bottles are used as a base in some applications, so wobbling around could be problematic. They're easier to refill than the so-called disposable tanks, largely due the bleeder valve, making it easy to get full in one go without having to do things such as freeze them. I weighed them afterwords, and I got almost exactly 1 pound. There are a few quirks to take note of. My 20 pound tank was half empty, so it did want to tip on me a bit when I was filling. I had the o-ring come out of one (got stuck on the fill adapter), but it was easy enough to reinstall. They are a bit on the pricey side (at the time of this review.) Also, the round bottom of both tanks are slightly lower than the welded ring causing them to wobble a little. BE SURE TO WEAR GLOVES THAT PROVIDE A THERMAL BARRIER! You don't want any liquid propane to get on your bare hands.

Well, I guess the first question is are these worth the price? I would say yes, they are worth every penny. They are of good quality, and are far more robust than the single use tanks that cost between $5-$10 per pound of LP. These are fillable from a portable LP tank at a cost of about a buck. With a purge valve, these are easy to refill with the correct adapter. I’d recommend one with a 90° bend, which is much easier to use. These canisters are safer to use, and to transport in a vehicle. Over its expected lifespan, one of these is safer and cheaper, and better for the landfill than going through a bunch of single use canisters. If it’s your preference to refill a disposable single use canister, read the fine print on the label and ask yourself if the risk is worth it. For me, it’s a no brainer.

Easy to fill. No more waste.

Ambos cilindros llegaron en buen estado; unos pequeños detalles de pintura, pero bastaste bien en general. Y lo más importante: las roscas, impecables. Tambien los pude rellenar con un adaptador sencillo que tenia desde antes, pero creo que si voy a acabar comprando su sistema porque me parece mas practico, además asi va quedar en una sola operación. En cambio, con el adaptador sencillo que tengo ahorita, tienes que rellenarlo en varios pasos porque el tanque chicho esta horizontal y tienes que dejar escapar el exceso de presión paso a paso, desenroscándolo a cada vez. Por último, encontré un acomodo practico para la llave de válvula incluida haciendo 2 pequeños hoyos en la tapa plástica. Les adjunto una foto por si les sirve.

Really nice quality well made , well designed item very cost effective and make running items that use these a lot more economical
