Refill small propane cylinder

A thread was closed before I could ask Grit Dog or anyone else about this. I have not heard of this here or anywhere else.

I carry This one for my small Weber Q,much easier to store and move.

I have never had a problem getting it filled. Are there some places that prohibit this and if so why.

PS, that is the cutest little LP bottle I’ve ever seen! Good thing that guy don’t live in PA because he’d be stuck with no LP refills ….lol

you can refill the green bottles too.
I refill my 30lbs tanks, and then use this adapter to refill my little green tanks from the big tank.

I had a 5lb tank at one time. Started having issues with places wanting to charge as if it were a 20lb tank. Decided to go back to the green bottles.

It's approved for both north and south of the border, so there's no reason filling stations would refuse. I had one half of that size, (5lb) for my Mr Buddy heater, Costco and a couple other places filled it no questions.

Don't know of any place that prohibits refills for that, but I can see some places may refuse because it's hardly worth the effort to fill for a couple bucks.
