1 lb propane cylanders

Go to Northern Hydraulic and buy the adaptor for refilling them from your 20 lb. cylinders and you can reuse them rather then tossing them out. The adaptor is about 10 bucks, screws into your 20lb tank and refills them in just a few seconds. Will save you dough, the landfill operators headaches and help the environment in general.

A lot of people don't know, but don't put them in the trash..

this can be very dangerous for the trash haulers or the end facility incinerators... even when you think they're empty, they're not.. call your county, the environmental person would know if they have a program or where to bring them... (I supervised the operations of one of the County Household Haz Waste Programs)

It is illegal to transport a refilled one pounder. I also posted this topic several months ago and I got multiple replies about guys getting huge fireballs from a refilled cylinder. I chose not to refill and went with a 11 pound cylinder and a hose set up. I have no complaints about it even on long pulls to get to my spot. Safety was more important than weight.

All of us should stop using the small 1 lb.bottles! I have the adapter and do refill,But look at the waste!the landfills are filling,our air degrading,We'er a nation of disposables (GARBAGE)WE have to start stopping all the waste. A little here and there does help!

Where are those returnable cases of long necks gone?

I tend to agree with you but it's not only illegal to transport those bottles, but it also has proven to be dangerous. I have often considered getting a refillable tank, but it just seems like over kill to lug around a 10 or 20lb tank to heat a one man portable.

Think of it this way though... Each 1# tank costs what, we'll say $2 to be on the generous side. I got a new 10# tank for $40, purge and fill was $16.50. Each refill comes out to be $11.50. Original cost is $5.65/lb. of propane which is pretty expensive outright. After the first initial tank runs out, a fill runs (about) $11.50, or $1.15/gallon of propane- savings of almost a dollar per pound if you buy the 1# tanks. It takes awhile to get your money out of the deal, roughly 50# of propane ($102.50=50# with 10# tank... $100.00=50# with 1# tanks) but environmentally- that is either 5 fills with the 10# tank, or 50 little 1# tanks!! Thats a LOT of excess metal to throw/store/recycle! If you go with a 20# tank the costs come back a LOT sooner, not to mention if you use the propane off your grill there's a cost of roughly $40 that you're cutting out. Just some food for thought next time you go buy some more 1# tanks...

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
