I use the Flame King refillable 1# cylinders which are DOT approved for refilling and transporting. A seperate filling valve is needed that attaches to a 20# tank. The 1# cylinders have a built in purge that utilizes a small hex key allowing the cylinder to be filled completely. Safe, legal and environmentally friendly.
Available on Amazon.

Refill myself, or target practice, then recycle.

Who needs more targets?  Got a few extras.
I don’t bother refilling just recycle. 1# is only for weight. Once I put the sled on ice it’s a 20# for me.

  I use them for bobbers. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 like on Jaws.

Most bulk propane distributors will recycle them. One near me has a bin right next to the filling station to put them in. However, I no longer use those grenades...neither new or refill. 5 pounder for me. Soooo much easier and economical.

I throw them out. Wasting time trying to jockey around a filthy 20lb tank to save $3.00 isn’t in my wheelhouse.
