Anyone ever use one of these

Like the answer you got in your other, identical, thread, I prefer the 1 gallon (5 pound) tanks. Filled and used just like the 20 pound tanks everyone is used to. I have two of them.

I like this video because it addresses 2 issues !

First, safety. Note, he has a table set up OUTDOORS ! Lots of ventilation.

Second the biggest problem with refilling small bottle is getting the air out of the bottle so that you can get a full LP charge. He show a cert simple and quick way to do this !

I have one of those gizmos. The idea is simple enough. It does help to have the big tank warm, like sitting in the sun for a while, and the tiny tank ice cold.

I could not get the vent open on my little 1 pounders which is an important step, need to let the air out so the liquid can flow in. Maybe 50% or less transfer without opening the vent.

Watch some YouTube on it first. Can be dangerous. But after you do it some and dont take any short cuts, not that bad. Get thick welding cloves. Mine are from harbor freight. Dont refill at crowded places, people here a propane hiss and think worlds going to end.

Looks like it would sure be a lot cheaper than buying the 1lb. bottles.

Guys at hunting camp use them. They say they work fine but won't fill up the cylinder completely full. I never used one so just going by what they said.
