If you have been refilling the off-the-shelf 1-lb. propane tanks, then this product is for you. Why? Because refilling the single-use tanks is dangerous for three reasons: 1. The metal used to make the single-use tanks is thin. These cannot withstand the stress of pressurizing and depressurizing in repeated cycles. Sure, it may work a few times, but how many times before it decides to fail? 2. The bleeder valve on the single use tanks needs to be pulled with a needle-nose pliers. Sometimes these pull out completely and then the valve is open and the tank is trash. Sometimes these fail to re-seal and propane just slowly leaks out (check for bubbles with soap). This is why you should avoid storing these inside if possible. 3. ALWAYS check the top to make sure the internal rubber ring is installed and intact. If not, the liquid propane will gush out when you try to attach the tank to a valve. If there's a open flame or spark nearby, you will be engulfed in fire. I suspect that the rubber ring in the single-use tanks is not meant for long life and will eventually fall out. It happened to me and I lived through this exact scenario. It's just not worth the risk anymore. This is very EASY to refill thanks to a bleeder valve accessible with an Allen key. If you don't have tools and can't keep track of a standard Allen key, then go buy the Fuel Keg. Same idea but no tools required; you just pull a ring to open the bleeder valve. However, I prefer the security of a bleeder valve that cannot be opened that easily (and I have a toolbox with more Allen keys). You could also get creative and put a small hole in the outside ring of the plastic storage cap where you can store the Allen key. Or a tiny neodymium magnet on the side of the tank could hold your key. Some have said that the tank ring on the bottom/base is not right and the tank wobbles, you have a point! One of my two tanks came like this too. The tank bottom is touching my bench before the ring, thereby allowing the tank to spin or wobble. All they have to do is manufacture the ring ever so slightly wider/taller. Flame King sent me a new tank because of this defect, and they acknowledged that this might be an issue on some of their tanks. The new tank was fine. There are some one star complaints because these arrive with no propane inside. These are empty tanks meant for re-filling. It should be abundantly obvious these cannot be shipped with propane inside. Many are complaining they can't find a place to fill these tanks: kudos; it’s good when one knows their limitations, but this tank is meant for the more advanced do-it-yourself person! You either purchase the refill kit or make your own refill adapter. Then you can refill this using a 20-lb. propane tank from your BBQ, which IS a size that can be refilled or exchanged by your local dealer. If you don't have a 20-lb. propane tank or you have no clue how to handle propane tanks, then a refillable 1-lb. propane tank might not be a safe or viable option for you. Finally, you do NOT need the official Flame King refill adapter kit! You can buy brass propane fittings, brass pipe nipples, and a brass ball valve to make your own refill adapter. My DIY refill adapter works fine with these tanks. Fittings and valves; this is pretty basic standardized stuff. These are functionally no different than any other 1-lb. tank albeit easier to refill thanks to the convenient bleeder. Flame King is good quality and great customer service. Highly recommend.

As an experienced camper, I recently stumbled upon this gem of a product, and it has undoubtedly made my camping experiences more enjoyable than ever before. I can confidently say that this 1lb tank is a game-changer in the world of outdoor cooking and heating. First and foremost, the build quality of these tanks is top-notch. They exude durability and reliability, ensuring that you won't have to deal with leakage issues or any safety concerns while enjoying your camping trip. Speaking of safety, using these refillable tanks also saves you from the risk of facing DOT fines associated with standard one-time use cylinders, making it an eco-friendly choice that aligns perfectly with my values. One of the standout features of this product is the ease of use during refilling. It's a breeze to refill them, and it's reassuring to know that I can refill them myself rather than being limited to disposable options. Not only does this contribute to a cleaner environment by reducing waste, but it also saves a considerable amount of money in the long run. With each refill, I estimate saving around $4.50, and it adds up significantly over time. These tanks are a perfect match for my camping lifestyle. Their compact size and portability make them ideal for overnight trips lasting 2 to 3 days. Unlike larger tanks that I used to carry around, I no longer worry about wasting gas because these 1lb tanks are perfectly sized for my needs. Additionally, they are easy to transport, and I appreciate the thoughtfulness in providing a small allen key for adjusting the vent, ensuring optimal performance. In conclusion, this product has earned its spot as an essential addition to my camping gear. The fast and easy filling process is a game-changer, and I can't stress enough how much I value its eco-friendliness and cost-saving benefits. As a seasoned camper, I wholeheartedly recommend these 1lb camping tanks to anyone looking for a reliable, safe, and sustainable solution for their outdoor adventures. It has truly enhanced my camping experience, and I'm confident it will do the same for you. Five stars without a doubt!

There are many reasons to not refill disposable propane bottles, but if you don’t believe them, just buy these for the ease of refilling. I just refilled 2 canisters in under five minutes. The flame king bottles are very easy to fill since they have the pressure release valve right on top, easily accessible using the included Allen wrench. Much nicer than monkeying with the pressure release valve on disposables than often leak once you pull up on them. Put the canister in the freezer, the large propane tank in the sun for 30 minutes, attach the filling hose, place the Flame King on a zeroed scale, open the valves, loosen the pressure release valve, and let it fill until you get 16oz or the relief valve starts to spit liquid propane. If you think all the safety warnings are just scare tactics, a conspiracy, or from people who don’t know what they’re doing, search YouTube on “Why you shouldn’t refill disposable propane canisters”. Not only can the disposables blow up on you and burn you, but leaking liquid propane can hit you in the eyes and permanently blind you. Be good to yourself and buy this two-pack. It’s so inexpensive that it makes no sense to risk the disposables. Great value, recommended.

These tanks are great and work well. The only reason, I knocked them down a star is the bleed screw uses a very small Allen key (which is only needed during refilling), and the manufacturer doesn’t provide a way attach the key, to either the bottle (preferable) or cap, so it frequently gets lost, just when you need it most. I made up a pouch for it on the tank with duct tape, but the tank should come with this

We have used these during 6 weeks of car camping (when backpacking, we would shift to our MSR Whisperlite White Gas stoves). We teamed these up with the FlameKing two-burner stove and both the stove and the REFILLABLE bottles worked like champs (mostly, there were a few minor issues related to wind with the stove). I was able to use a simple and cheap connector for a 5 - 40 lbs propane tank to connect with these one-pound REFILLABLE bottles (connector sold separately) and everything worked easily and perfectly well. It was easy to fill these tanks (once I figured out the simple bleeder valve) although it required me to turn my propane tank on its head and position it next to a step where I could get the right angle for filling these tanks. BTW, some tank connectors you can buy come with a stand upon which you can place your larger propane (source) tank. In terms of use, we brought with us four full bottles to use over the 6 weeks. During that six weeks, we car-camped (used these as our only fuel source for all cooking) about 14 nights/days. Each day, we used them for breakfast (heating up water or more) and dinner (again, heating up water or more). We used both burners about 25% of the time. We used the burner on the lowest setting possible to get the job done but often were nearly maxed out. On rare occasion, we used both burners on max. I am guessing that we used the FlameKing stove (with these tanks) at least a total of 10 hours and we used up ONLY about 1.75 tanks. That means, we still had over two full tanks to go!! That's rather amazing. Did I say these are REFILLABLE? For years we resisted buying a car-camping stove because we would look in the trasn of campgrounds etc and see piles and piles of one-time use propane tanks. Given that we are camping to be closer to nature (and not destroy it), we just resisted buying these stoves and instead used our backpacking stoves (MSR Whisperlites... that were always refillable). THEN, we found these! And, initially hesitant, we bought the filler connector (between source and one-pound tanks) and the FlameKing two-burner stove. WOW! What a GREAT addition AND there's NO tank waste!! We just use these tanks until empty (again, many many hours of use at low flame levels or, according to Flame King, about one hour of use with BOTH burners set on Max). Then, when done, we just toss them in the trunk or roof box and bring them home to refill and reuse again and again. (Or, in a pinch, we could pay some nice RVer for a pound of propane and continue with a single tank.) So, this is one of the very few REFILLABLE TANKS on the market and they work absolutely great! Car-Camping is now glamping for us... with our FlameKing set up. Could not be happier.

Well what's to say? I purchased a very high quality refill line only to find that you really can't refill the disposable tanks because there's no vent to let the air out. So you can only get so much propane in there before it stops filling it. Just FYI, freezing the mini disposable tanks really doesnt help much either. So I came across these refillable tanks. These tanks are pricey however I purchased two and receive them with no issues. Mine had no damage unlike what some others have reported. There was no damage on my threads where it screws on and no damage on the bleed screw. Filling it was amazingly quick and easy and most importantly filled full! I took my 30 lb tank placed it upside down on a lawn chair, about a foot and a half higher than the small tank connected it all up open the vent on the small mini 1 lb tank open the fill port and a few minutes later it was full. Like the video demonstrates it will spray out the vent at which point you shut off the main tank and close the bleed valve screw. You don't have to screw it down super tight, just enough. If you're mechanically inclined you know the routine for leak checking. A little spit on your finger and over the vent hole and if it doesn't bubble you're good to go. I love the purchase and with two tanks I have one for my portable heater and one for my mini Weber. I don't need any more but I wouldn't hesitate to buy another set! Highly recommended!

I bought two of these and both gushed gas/liquid propane when connecting/disconnecting a camp stove or any other appliance. All I did was fill them and try to use them once, just once. They have a terrible valve design that is simply dangerous. One spark when connecting or disconnecting a camp stove and there will be a fireball/explosion. Surprised there hasn't been a recall and/or a fatality. Never had this problem with any other gas cylinder. DO NOT BUY THIS DANGEROUS PRODUCT. I reached out to Flame King and am awaiting a response. Follow up: It took a couple of weeks but Flame King finally sent seal replacement kits for my bottles- with no instructions. I figured out to use the brass tool to push in the new seals, but when I did, I couldn't get the tool back out of the bottle. At least not without grabbing it with pliers and twisting, which wasn't easy, and prying with a screwdriver once I managed to get a gap between the tool and the bottle. And then, when the tool finally came out, the seal I was trying to replace came with it. Absolutely pathetic engineering and a complete waste of time and money. So I stick with my original assessment and into the trash the bottles go. DO NOT BUY THIS DANGEROUS AND POORLY ENGINEERED PRODUCT! Follow up #2: Manged to get seals installed and bottles still gush gas when connecting to stove. Flame King is sending replacement bottles. If those don't work, all four will go into the trash. I am a mechanical engineer and this isn't rocket science. Just a bad/dangerous design. If the new bottles work, fine. Otherwise look elsewhere.
