Flame King 1LB EMPTY Propane Cylinder Tank – Refillable – Reusable – Safe and Legal Refill Option – DOT Compliant – 16.4 oz for Camping, Backpacking, and Hiking (2-Pack), Green (YSN164-2)

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.

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.

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!

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

I had been refilling the regular 1 lb cans and it always made me a bit nervous. I also had a couple of 5 gallon pails filled with the old cans. Now with these, the refill is nice and easy, and SAFE. And I've been able to get rid of all of those old 1 lb cans.

Good quality. Works great. Easy to fill with the adapter from my larger tanks.

I love this product. Easy to refill with propane from 20 lb tank. Be sure to get the correct refill adapter. These portable refillable tanks are a little pricey, but will pay for themselves in the long run. These portable tanks are manufactured and certified to specifically be refilled and legally transported in your vehicle unlike the one time use Coleman portable tanks. Also, make sure you get one of the products to help support the 20 pound propane tank when it is upside down as I almost had one fall over off a table.

NO STARS GIVEN!!! When you use this product even minimally, the allen set screw that you open to purge air as liquid is pushing out the air, will strip. You then cannot use this tank any longer. Flame King wrote and said they do not have a replacement to replace, rendering this bottle to be useless!!! A $20.00 bottle now needs to thrown away!!! A $20.. bottle thrown away because of a 10 cent allen set-screw!!! REALLY? Yes, that is the deal. If they do not not send me some kind of remedy for my 8 bottles, I most certainly will buy FUEL KEG system that has a beautiful "Circular Key" that is heavy-duty to last, to purge the air from the bottle. Should they replace the set screws for me, I will let you know, here for your decision and purchase making evaluation. Otherwise they should learn that nowadays they cannot have public approval for such a cheap aspect of their refilling system that costs US SO MOUCH MORE THAN THEM, AND NO RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PUBLIC FOR FAIR REPLACEMENTS!!! You do not need to throw away a $20 bottle because of a 10 cent screw!!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! THEY WERE NOT FAIR WITH ME!

Ambos cilindros llegaron en buen estado; unos pequeños detalles de pintura, pero bastaste bien en general. Y lo más importante: las roscas, impecables. Tambien los pude rellenar con un adaptador sencillo que tenia desde antes, pero creo que si voy a acabar comprando su sistema porque me parece mas practico, además asi va quedar en una sola operación. En cambio, con el adaptador sencillo que tengo ahorita, tienes que rellenarlo en varios pasos porque el tanque chicho esta horizontal y tienes que dejar escapar el exceso de presión paso a paso, desenroscándolo a cada vez. Por último, encontré un acomodo practico para la llave de válvula incluida haciendo 2 pequeños hoyos en la tapa plástica. Les adjunto una foto por si les sirve.

Great value, make sure to watch their how to video if first time, works great!!

Really nice quality well made , well designed item very cost effective and make running items that use these a lot more economical
