RickOnt Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Is the KEG availlable in Ontario ? If so where? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted February 4 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickOnt Posted February 4 Author Report Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickOnt Posted February 4 Author Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan668 Posted February 4 Report Share 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 Share Posted February 4 What’s the difference between that and a normal one lb tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted February 4 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot's of folks refill the regular tanks, you can buy the adapters to fill them from a 20lb tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Yes I have been filling them for more then 50 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickOnt Posted February 5 Author Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted February 6 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITEME Posted February 6 Report Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted February 6 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BITEME Posted February 6 Report Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITEME Posted February 6 Report Share 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 🤘 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
