I had resigned myself to using the 1-pound disposable cylinders since I could not find a good spot to mount the refillable 5-pound cylinder on the TM. We were out last weekend, and after I removed a 1-pounder from my portable grill, gas started leaking out the cylinder. Apparently, whatever self-closing valve is in the cylinder that releases when you unscrew the tank didn't close. It eventually closed after about 10 minutes, or at least I think it did, but not before most of the gas leaked out.

So I am going to stop using the 1-pounders while traveling from here on out, and just pack the 5-pounder in the car. The 5-pound has a manual valve, and while not foolproof (I've had a valve leak on the TM tank), I feel it's much more reliable than the disposables. AND, it's cheaper and I don't contribute needless waste to the landfill.

FWIW.
