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

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

I have used these in the past and just throw them away when empty

Going to buy one of these and start using the cannisters again, they were my favourite.
small ,cheap and give a few hours of cooking
Just need the AUS$ to improve lol
