As I understand it, refilling the 1lb propane containers jeopardizes the seal integrity, giving you a potential 1lb bomb if you have a spark. They are so inexpensive these days I can't imagine they are even worth refilling. I just bought a 5lb OPD unit that is nice and portable. Plan to set it outside the TM and run a 5' hose up thru the flap to a portable Heater Buddy. Unfortunately, the 5lb tanks are as much or more than the 20lb ones.
