Saw this on Expedition Portal and thought some might be interested.

The re-usable 1# cylinders are pretty nifty. The propane lawn mower conversion is even cooler.

I bought a refill kit at Harbor Freight on sale awhile ago. Haven't used it yet though http://www.harborfre...-kit-61555.html

Finally!  Anyone know the cost? I'd love to have some of those and be able to fill them on my own from a bigger 5gal tank.  

 

BobM - These 1# Manchester tanks would actually be a lot better and legal.  Refilling the disposable 1# canisters are not DOT approved for transport once refilled.  I refill mine since it's the only alternative at the moment.  

 

The Manchester's don't look as compact with the valve on them and I wonder how they work in things that are made for the disposable kind.  Guess you could use a hose.

I have been refilling 1# propane for years with no issues.

Nash Fuel (859-881-0509) in KY sells them for $42.95 shipped.  There are two versions ~15.5" x 3" and 11.5" x 3.75".

I've refilled the small 1 lb tanks using an adapter for years, however, it is possible to overfill.  I've had 2 tanks that were very cold when I filled them and as they warmed they actually bulged and the pressure relief valve vented.  Better to have a 3/4 filled tank and ere on the side of safety.
