GS you are a little behind the curve. I bought a hole cutter. "I broke down, and bought a Milwaukee 3" hole saw for about $20."


So I was too late. The nice thing about the style I mentioned is it is adjustable to any size. And they work pretty darn well.

On Amazon I bought a Little Buddy heater for my camper that was described as such:
"Condition: Used-Acceptable - Item has major cosmetic damages but is still usable. Small cosmetic imperfection on top, front or sides of the item. Accessories may have cosmetic damage. Item will come repackaged."
Well, it sounds like they were talking about the box only. I got a $70 item for $45, and it looks totally new without a single blemish. Works perfectly. Score! :thumbsup2:

I already have a similar gizmo, but do some research on how you actually have to use this, and actual "legality". The setup I'm getting may initially be a bit pricier, but more effective (and more legal in the long run). Propane is not covered by any of the amendments. :wink05:

I was surprised to read how 'illegal' it is to refill the 1# bottles..... pretty nasty. i wonder how many people have been convicted under those laws???
From what I remember.... its not illegal to refill the bottles, but it IS illegal to TRANSPORT refilled bottles..... hmmmm... how do 'they' determine that its been refilled? Another useless law.

Yes I agree and have a still in the plastic AK-47 slide-fire gizmo that is about to be lost in a boating accident.

Those canisters generally are not designed for the constant expansion and contraction that a heavier-duty built tank is designed to endure.

Odds are, you'll be fine, but I don't want to be on the receiving end of a tank rupture when refilling.

Finally had a nice day, and got off my butt and did some work on the camper. Installed the battery platform, and drilled out the access hole for the wiring.
Used Gorilla glue/sealant instead of screws for the access port.
