What do you do with empty propane tanks?

[Tricking N Killing]

Throw them in the recycling bin to save our planet.

[62&done]

please take them home.  then throw them out

[Tricking N Killing]

I’ve seen guys punch a hole in the, and sink them. Dirtbags.

[62&done]

  Aside from playing havic with the environment, they don't sink. In the spring they are washed up on someone's beach and then the dirtbag who dumped it gets mad because the access to the lake is shut down. We've been over this many times. Just pickup after yourselves and when you do stumble across the crap left by others just pick it up. I always have a plastic bag or two with me.  You'll feel better for it.

I refill mine if they are in good condition.

They can be recycled in some areas.

You could also look at Flame King refillable one-pound tanks.

Good Luck all

They should put a deposit on those things.   Imagine how much trash that would stop

Refill them

[CrappieCrazy]

I bought an adapter off Amazon and refill them from my 20lb tank . It cost me about $1.50/refill.

I know I'm going to catch crap for this because I get it every time I mention this: It is not illegal to refill the one lb. propane tanks, but it is illegal to transport them on any Federal highway. It carries a big fine and possible prison. Google it. This is for real. JMTCW!

How they going to know unless you tell them.

I've often wondered why they don't do that, too. You think it would be a win/win. Even if they had to change the valve and seal, it would have to be cheaper than producing a whole new can.

[greensider]

You can buy a valve to refill from your bbq tank

how are they going to know if the tank was refilled?

[badger132]

There is now a legal refillable option. Those that use a lot of them should consider it, not only from a cost, but also to leave less trash behind us as we go.

[lakerdave]

[SizeMatters]

I have the Flame King refillables.  Works great.

[mpike2day]

Picked up a 5 pounder this year so I hopefully don't need them anymore.

[kpd145]

Before I went to the refillable tanks, I used to refill them but was always worried because the walls are so thin on those throw away ones. that said, I did have an experience when a compressed cylinder exploded, yeah not fun so I am probably overly cautious due to that incident.

But I just knock out the pressure pin with a screw driver near the top and recycle/scrap them.

I have 2 of those refillable ones and they work great. more money but its worth my peace of mind when I'm refilling them.

Give them to my buddy to refill them.  What's the next thread Tricking N Killin?  I think we could use a couple more from you....

Not a problem. I’m putting together a ice fishing manual for the common angler. Simple solutions for pre to post ice fishing.

Our recycling place won't take them with out a hole in them.

I got the flame king kit as well along with 3 tanks. The kit was $30 with a tank and got 2 back ups $10 a tank. I can fish all day with heat on high with 3 cans. I refill my 20lb at buell fuel for $12. I figured last year it’s just under $1 a fill. No waist and very easy to do. Made my money back first year especially when you see some places selling tanks $7-$8 a pop

He has only been a member for 5 days and trying to get all his questions answered before he starts fishing....h2l

I bought an adapter but never used it. I had a new 1lb tank with a bad valve. After I screwed it off the heater and put it in the trunk, it filled my car with propane. I would never be able to trust a refilled one after that happened with a brand new tank.

Same, i averaged 78 cents a tank last year. I also can get well over 1lb of propane in them. 1 tank will run my budddy on low for ovet 12 hrs.

The tanks are well built and pretty beefy for what they are. I have no doubt the extra propane im putting in is no where near a damger limit of the tank itself
