I thought they were disposable,
read the bottom of the link
NON FILLABLE

Looks the same as the BernzOmatic bottle I have for a gas torch, has a schrader valve on the top, which makes it look like it should be re-fillable, but as TD notes, the ad says different. I’d been wondering tha same thing about my bottle.

I didn't read that but I know I can illegally refill them from my lpg bottle if I had the right fittings but wondered if they could legally be done from a shop, seems a shame to be throwing out metal bottles and would be good 2 empty my 4.5kg bottle into the small ones when it is getting low

I watched a you tube vid of one being refilled and no gas comes out that valve either so don't know what its purpose is

They are plastic not metal. You can fill them from 9kg bottle using a thing called a maccoupler but it's illegal. Masters has the cylinders for $9 so wouldn't bother to be honest

No retail mob does it to my knowledge.
Wouldn't be profitable regardless of legalities

I carry (and have from time to time used) a Maccoupler that I bought several years ago.
The Coleman bottle I have is metal not plastic but again I bought it years ago

Cheers guys

My bottles are metal 2 ET, I have about 12 of them

Think I might see if I can get a Maccoupler, I like doing illegal dangerous stuff :)

for the sake of $10 why bother taking the risk.

Is it really a risk? I don't see a risk we just live in a nanny country. Can't ever say I've heard of someone blowing themselves up from refilling a gas bottle.

And if I don't fill them up I'd be more inclined to throw the empty bottle in the camp fire.

Been filling for years. You can buy an adaptor on ebay.
Put empties in freezer over night, invert 9kg and attach empty cylinder. Open valve and wait until the flow stops.
The little reverse schrader valve is a pressure release and wont allow for over pressure.
Fill away

Its only illegal if if you get caught,, Just do it, lol

Going to buy one of these and start using the cannisters again, they were my favourite.
