Your little one is full when it reaches the same pressure as the big tank. Technically you could fill a large tank with a small tank if the pressure was lower than the "filling tank." One thing I noticed my last trip was that the tank was bulging. It looks like the little tanks might have a life but I'll rely on the pressure relief valve. My extra 20# tank has been filling the little tanks for 2 years now.Originally Posted by slosurfer

I got that little device at harbor freight. It really saves money on buying small canisters.
4x4mike, Do you freeze the little canisters before you fill them? Thats what I always do. But if they get too cold, they get over full and stretch when they warm up. I usually fill them up by weight to avoid any un-wanted explosions.
And yes, cooking rocks may not be the norm, but it sure is the best thing to keep warm with on a cold night! Has any one ever said that our group was normal
