RickOnt Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 Is the KEG availlable in Ontario ? If so where? Thanks
Terry Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 I checked and couldn’t find anywhere to buy them yet I do know they have to be approved for Canada they are much better price then the flame king ones in the US so hopefully they will be cheap enough to make them practical i don’t like the ring sticking out of it it looks like it could easily get bumped and release gas
RickOnt Posted February 4 Author Report Posted February 4 You could be right, re maybe they are not legal in Canada yet! That ring/valve is a slight issue but you need it to let air out I think it would take some turning to release the gas but I would need to check that out.
Terry Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 The flame king uses a recessed alan key, so no chance if it catching anything but at 60 bucks a bottle I just can’t justify it
RickOnt Posted February 4 Author Report Posted February 4 The KEG is advertised at $20. That would be US dollars Doable if it works, I guess thats the chance you would have to take.
Dan668 Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 I was looking at the Fuel Keg, not a huge fan of the ring myself. I get the Flame King 1 lb'ers off Amazon.com. $70 for two including shipping, tax, conversion. Pricey but pays for itself pretty quickly with my usage.
glen Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 What’s the difference between that and a normal one lb tank?
Terry Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 They are made to be refilled regular one pounders are not they have a bleeder valve to let air out and let you know when they are full 1

RickOnt Posted February 5 Author Report Posted February 5 You can refill them but they are really not refillable. You need to fill a few times as there is no way to vent the air The Fuel KEG would repay for itself in one winter or less.
porkpie Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 (edited) Oh there is a way to vent 1LB cans when refilling, it’s just sketchy @F Edited February 6 by porkpie
porkpie Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 1 hour ago, Terry said: Yeah needle nose pliers Yep. I’d buy the refillables in a heartbeat if they where readily available. All I can find on Amazon is the little 1/4lb torch bottle. Next time I’m fishing down in the US I’ll have to check out the depot.
BITEME Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 So i did some searching around because there was something fishy about this conversation it is illegal to do this in Canada without proper training now I know saying this will open a can of worms but it is what it is and we all make choices https://propane.ca/safety/handling-transporting-propane-cylinders/#:~:text=It is illegal by Canadian,are being sold in Canada. I'm sure if you were doing this and had an unfortunate circumstance that destroyed some insurable things they would likely not cover your claim amongst other things just looking out for ya!!!
RickOnt Posted February 6 Author Report Posted February 6 (edited) Yes Illegal but doable Same as 90kmh in a 80kmh. Its illegal but people do it. You can find the Fuel KEG in Menards Edited February 6 by RickOnt
BITEME Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 Same as 90kmh in a 80kmh. Its illegal but people do it. hmmmmmm!🤨
Terry Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 There has never been a death in Canada from refilling and there was one one death in the USA and they don’t know why but the guy had it in a vice there has never been a transportation accident with a refilled one they are illegal to refill Because the propane lobby spent lots of money convicting members of parliament that refilled 1 lb tanks would destroy the world if they are stopped 1
glen Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 Reduce reuse recycle. except when it’s cutting into their profits.
BITEME Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 from Transport Canada https://tc.canada.ca/en/dangerous-goods/safety-advisories/risks-refilling-single-use-tc-39m-dot-39-cylinders just because there aren't verified deaths there are lots of reported incidents and you know as well as i do about odds sooner or later you will win the lottery Why take the risk for a few bucks...Seriously!
Terry Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 Because it’s fake the USA propane lobby lost because only the one death is what they came up with yet that talked about all the carnage happening because if refilled 1lb tanks , that talked about how easy it is for them to explode but even shooting them they did not explode, they explode in a fire but so does non refillable tanks one dollar for propane tank filled or 9 bucks or more for a new 1 lb tank. Some winters I have used 30 one lb tanks its a lobby group wanting to corner the market and take your money . Period 1
BITEME Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 Hey I’m not trying to change your mind or tell you what to do or believe I have seen the power and furry of propane first hand controlled and uncontrolled filling little tanks from big tanks is just not my thing personnaly I don’t like liquefied gas(flammable and not) on any given day always wary that’s just me Carry On 🤘
