1/4-lb Empty Refillable Propane Cylinder

I ordered one and it arrived.  I’m not seeing a backpacking play since the amount of steel is far greater than butane-mix canisters plus a Moulder Strip.

Maybe if you wanted the convenience of a propane/butane stove in winter plus the assurance of high vapor pressure.  Or if want your fuel costs to go to basically zero if refilled from a BBQ tank compared to butane, white gas, or alcohol.   But four ounces of fuel isn’t much on a winter trip.

What I imagine I’ll use most for is in lieu of the 1-pound Coleman propane cylinder on my plumber’s torch.  Pretty sweet for compact spaces, plus it looks SO cool and cute.

…Hanging lantern.

Oh, it’s so cute!

Somebody up there in the frigid north must have a use for such a small propane tank.

It is kinda cute… 🥰

It’s -10 degrees here in northern IL. Wish I had one of the mini sweet tanks just for the fun of it 😉

A bunch of hammock hangers gather up in MN for a Frozen Butt Hang every year. One of the hanging lanterns would be nice hanging from a ridgeline.

Couple years ago I went the less expensive route.

I heat water inside the foster pot by torching the sides of the pot, easy-peasey or melt snow in it. 70 percent propane blend. Nice for cold weather. The canister stores easily inside the pot.

Those BOSS torch canisters have a Lindal valve for refilling….:-)

Others are beginning to use the small cylinders
