You can refill these bottles. You need a device to do it, brass screw-on caps and the know-how (all available online). It’s not perfect or easy, but doable. I refill them regularly for scouts in my troop, and myself and friends. What is difficult to swallow about this particular item is that you are buying about $1 of propane in a $9 bottle the company intends for you to discard, with no suggestions or infrastructure to reuse or recycle. We campers and outdoorsmen and women are sensitive to such waste, and it surprises me that it hasn’t been addressed. Sure, you can buy multi packs for less, but it’s the same “non-reusable” thing. Another company REI sometimes sells (Flame King) produces actual refillable bottles for about $16-20 apiece and a kit to do it safely and easily for about $40. Those bottles are much heavier duty and definitely work better. They also last longer. I should get about 12-15 years from these refillable bottles. I thought that was steep for a bottle, until I saw the price of this one. I get about 10-20 reuses out of a throwaway bottle before I deem it unfit for further use (rusted, dented or worn out leaky valve). Once dead, I use up the gas, puncture the canister, cut off the top and recycle it with other steel scrap. Friends give me their empties and I’ve been known to take empties from the trash at campgrounds. The resource seems endless. I’ve saved a lot of money and waste doing this. I gave the item 4 stars. I’ve refilled a lot of different brands’ bottles and find Coleman hold up relatively well to refilling, but some others are slightly better and last longer (they would get 5 stars). If you’re a single-use user, this won’t matter, but if not, it will. As far as a bargain, well….

Not recyclable, ends up in landfill

Buy a stove that takes liquid fuel or bring your reusable propane tank from home. These things can't be recycled and cause parks a great deal of pain to dispose of properly.

Not reusable and difficult to recycle

2 years ago

I have purchased these and they work well. The issue is--after it is empty. It is difficult to recycle or dispose of, and these pile up in landfills. I wish I had known that at the time of purchase. And they cannot be safely refilled, and the state of California is moving to ban these. There are refillable versions of these same cans, I will use the re-fillable version in the future.

Corrupted thread - poor QA

1 year ago

I'm probably being a little harsh but this should never happen. I'm sure the gas will burn if you can attach the canister. As it is I'm stranded with a canister with corrupted thread preventing it from simply screwing into the regulator. Maddening really. It is definitely the fault of the canister and not the regulator. It has worked flawlessly for years.

Too expensive

2 years ago

I spent $9.50 each for these without thinking I would be gauged that badly by REI, until I checked the regular price at Walmart of $3.50. I don't think I've ever spoken against REI until now but this is just shameful.

Exchange and re-use

2 years ago

This is a great product except there needs to be clarity on what to do with the empty canisters. The best alternative would be an exchange and re-use system.

Really not much to say here. Had these before and they work great. It is a Coleman cylinder full of propane. Fits on my Coleman grill.

Easy to use, easy to reuse

2 years ago

It’s a propane canister. It’s tougher than some from other manufacturers. It doesn’t rust as quickly. I use these to power camp stoves, lanterns, space heaters, blow torches and my sailboat’s galley stove in a marine environment. An inexpensive adaptor, a few videos and some practice allows you to refill these from a 20 lb. tank. Once you master this, you never feel guilty using them again. Eventually they corrode or the valves wear out and it’s time to discard, but you’ve probably gotten another 20 or more uses out of a single canister. Official refillable canisters are great, easier to refill with the proprietary kit, and more durable, but cost significantly more. I’m the guy at campgrounds taking empties from folks and refilling at home. I have two milk crates filled with canisters. I refill about twice a year, and it’s easy. Just get brass caps to seal them. Nothing wrong with this tech, but I do wish that a recycling and/or returning option was addressed by society.
