RickWakeman...before I got the FK refillable tanks I was pretty stingy with the propane tanks ...only used them when it was brutal . I even had 2 tanks that must have been 5yrs old . Now that I am older and wiser ..and dont like to be cold I use the FK each and every trip ...I find myself staying longer and enjoying it even more ..defiantly a quality of angling life upgrade . Just being able to pack up my gear ...warm up in my shelter hub or flip ...then collapse and go is kind of priceless. Note I have since purchased a insulated flip which is also a game changer. The current innovations to our sport are worth the price of admission.
I was an early adopter when FK first came out. I tried them for a season and ended up selling the bottles and kit. My primary issue was being old and fighting with the hex key setup. It’s simple but when you can’t see without cheaters it is more difficult. Fast forward to this season. I bought a few 1 lbs tanks in a pinch at a local gas station. 2 for $12 was painful. I saw DTROs videos and thought I’d give the Fuel Keg a try. I filled 2 tanks tonight for the first time. Wow. I am very impressed with how easy and how well this system works. I actually went back to Menards tonight and bought 2 more tanks while they are on sale. I filled all four tanks tonight and was incredibly easy with the split ring valve. The stand fuel keg uses is also vastly superior to my FK experience. Two other things I did was first to put some reflective tape on the kegs themselves. Just to remind me and others not to throw them away by accident. I also added a piece of painters tape on my 20 lbs tank and am adding a tick mark when I fill a bottle. Figure it will help me keep track of when I need a refill on the 20 pounder. Thanks again DTrO for the awesome videos you posted. Those videos are the reason I tried this product and I could not be more pleased with how easy and effective this refill system is.
As someone who is considering purchasing their first heater, which refillable tank is the "best"? I don't have any of the gadgets or gizmos, so if anyone wants to throw in what adapters you need for which tanks, that'd be great. Thanks!

Different people have different needs. If you have difficulty seeing up close, can't keep track of tools, or don't have the steadiest hands mr heater may be an easy choice. Personally I think flame king is the better choice but we all have our own needs and opinions
In store Menards 15% off bag sale ..not certain if it applies to the Fuel Keg systemhttps://www.menards.com/main/home.htmlhttps://www.menards.com/main/heating-cooling/propane-tanks/mr-heater-reg-16oz-empty-fuel-keg-tank/f200048/p-1642874297828344-c-6878.htm?exp=falsehttps://www.menards.com/main/heating-cooling/propane-tanks/mr-heater-reg-fuel-keg-kit/f200049/p-1642874297828530-c-6878.htm?exp=false
I went to Menards yesterday and got two tanks for like $16 each thanks to the 15% bag sale
Nice to know it works . Do you have the Fuel Keg Refill valve ?..it is proprietary to the Fuel Keg system.
Well I received my flame king kit today from home Depot and the stand was missing from the box 😔
Go to the chat function on HD web site they will have a solution whether it be a return price reduction or exchange EZPZ .HD customer service has been outstanding ...I do all my CS exchanges on chat ...Go to a product any page ...it will load on the right side ...tab ...sometimes its take s bit . ..do mine on my lap top .
Customer service said they would contact flame king and have them ship me the stand and they would email me. My expectations are low but my fingers remain crossed 🤞Also the tanks I received are between 11-12 months old. Since I would be the only one filling them, the date isn't really a concern like it is on the big ones, right?
You should be fine with expiration .HD gave you a solution ..I would be confident ..you have a contact information or claim number just in case ?
The date on the tank is what they are DOT certified for. I think it's 12 years from the date on the tank. You can still continue to refill them, but that's all they will certify them for.
No case number, but someone from flame king did leave me a voicemail and told me they would be sending out the stand. And I received an email from someone at home Depot telling me the stand was sent from the vendor. No tracking info but that's not a big deal.Since I have the valve and the tanks, is there an easy safe work around to use this without the official stand?Thanks!
It depends ...if your 20# base is fairly even/level a table ...stair ...pick up tail gate will work ...if it seems wobbly have someone help steady it while you fill the 1 pound tanks . I got quite an egg on my forehead which turned into a nice black eye due to a wobbly tank ...it was a soft knock on my noggin...but the damage was horrendous .
Well Flame King did send me a package. It's the stand legs, the hardware to attach everything, but no base plate 😂Progress.
Since I have the valve and the tanks, is there an easy safe work around to use this without the official stand?Thanks!
Can either of these bottles be refilled with the old Mr heater adapter that many of us have already? They would be horizontal rather than vertical and would you have to mess around with the bleeder or can you just put them in the freezer like in the past?
