A thread was closed before I could ask Grit Dog or anyone else about this. I have not heard of this here or anywhere else.
I carry This one for my small Weber Q,much easier to store and move.
I have never had a problem getting it filled. Are there some places that prohibit this and if so why.

PS, that is the cutest little LP bottle I’ve ever seen! Good thing that guy don’t live in PA because he’d be stuck with no LP refills ….lol

Don't know of any place that prohibits refills for that, but I can see some places may refuse because it's hardly worth the effort to fill for a couple bucks.

It's approved for both north and south of the border, so there's no reason filling stations would refuse. I had one half of that size, (5lb) for my Mr Buddy heater, Costco and a couple other places filled it no questions.

I had a 5lb tank at one time. Started having issues with places wanting to charge as if it were a 20lb tank. Decided to go back to the green bottles.

you can refill the green bottles too.
I refill my 30lbs tanks, and then use this adapter to refill my little green tanks from the big tank.

That one is a standard propane cylinder just like a 20 pound or 30 pound cylinder, only in a smaller size. Your only limit is the same one that the 20# and 30# cylinders have, namely, they have to be recertified occasionally. The issue of refilling small cylinders that you hear about is refilling the little 1 pound disposable cylinders. They are not designed to be refilled, but some folks do so anyway.

I had one of those 1 gallon tanks for many years and never had any issue getting it refilled anywhere, even at campgrounds. Finally a campground did warn me that it was well out of certification so I bought a new 2 gallon tank at Murdochs and dropped the old one off at a propane dealer for recycling.

I used to have a 5 Pounder I got refilled many times as well.
Only the disposables are supposed to be Disposed of after one use.

Ichabod, I was only commenting with respect to the folks who seemed to live in an area where they couldn’t get propane bottles refilled.
That, and I’d never seen a mini me version of a refillable LP bottle. But it looks like the equivalent of a truck with a nine gallon fuel tank. Wholly unpractical for uses like furnaces and generators. Imo.

They seem to refill just fine. The disposable ones, that is.
