    Those little green and blue tanks can be refilled with a simple brass fitting that connects one end to a 20 lb tank. Then you just let gravity do its thing. I have one but haven't tried it yet. It's much cheaper to refill than buying those over priced green ones.

    On a side note (and I don't recommend this) throwing the empty one lb tanks into a 55 gallon burn barrel makes a helluva BOOM. If it's pointed correctly it shoots about 40 ft in the air also. Sometimes you end up with burning embers flying all over too.

    Burning garbage + vodka = redneck fireworks. Again, I don't recommend trying this. Leave it to the stupid like myself.

    Money is not the root of all evil, the love of money is.

    This reminds me of a general contractor I used to do business with. He was burning some construction trash and didn't realize there was an aerosol can in the mix. It went off like a rocket, hitting him in the back and dropping him. He showed me his back. Half of it was a nasty bruise. The frigging thing could have killed him, had it hit him in the head.
