Bredlo,
I know you can refill them, but then, I was told, it is illegal to transport them across state lines. I don't know about recycling them. I just always see people throwing them out. I have never really used them. I have a propane tank "tree" to run a coleman lamp on top and the accessory hoses to run off the bulk tank from the "tree".

I ALMOST stopped drinking beer when they got rid of deposit / returnable bottles.

I bought an adaptor to refill mine of the big propane tank... Just bought the Weber Q.. not sure where I am gonna store it yet... not much storage in the 68' (YET) but the zipper bag sounds like a good idea..

How can it be against the law to transport the 1 pound tank across state law? I have never heard of this before, but that doesn't mean it isn't so. But "they" have to know campers buy them at Wal-Mart to save money and take them camping with them (us) and we often cross state lines.

Didn't know that. Pathetic to think of all those empty cans in landfills - my God, think of all that wasted space inside. These things are recyclable steel, and people should be rewarded for recycling them as such, same as copper or any other kind of metal.

Done ranting. Awesome idea on the accessory hose - might try that myself.

Ahem, REAL men don't BBQ with propane. Just kidding, sure glad I read the one about storing the BBQ in a contractors garbage bag and NOT in the back of the TV which is what I was going to do without thinking. We're headed for bear country in the Grand Tetons,another reason for reading on this site and asking questions, thanks again. JG

What is it Hank Hill says..."Taste the meat, not the heat."

I have used a Newspaper grill since my Dad bought one in the 1960's.

It is the size of a 2 gallon bucket and stores in three sections like a Boy Scout folding cup. The box that holds it is about 12" square and 8" tall.

You just wad a up 3 double sheets of newspaper and light. It will cook steaks or hamburgers great. You only use black and white newsprint though. The funny papers will make the steaks taste "funny".

No storage problems. No propane, no problem.

Had a newspaper grill for a while, left it outside to many times and it rusted to bad to use any more. We now use one time use charcoal grills, carry a few under the stove. Most times I cook over an open fire with a portable tri-pod grill, this also stores under the stove. Propane is fast but it's not camping to me.

Recycle bin in Yellowstone. I can say it's the first time I've seen such.

We store our Baby Weber Q, 1lb. propane, bbq brush, etc. in a large tough tote...stored in the back of out truck.

We use the same, but put it under the bed. Odor is not an issue.

Our grill is a small aluminum one. Everything coordinates! My husband has secured and trimmed the puzzle like exercise mats around it for cushion. It then fits snuggly been the Bambi and the LP Tank Cover. He also has ratching type of tie-down he uses to make sure it’s securely attached.

Once we're at our site, we put it on an aluminum foldable table we found at Target.

I always make sure to get the "big chunks" off our Baby Q's grill (believe it or not, a ball of crumpled tin foil and a wooden ice cream stick work great!), and then I wrap the grill, which weighs 10-15 lbs, in newspaper, and place it separately in the bed of our truck under/between other large items. The Baby Q itself is either cleaned up for the trip, or placed in a lawn/leaf bag to keep it from dirtying up the other cargo. Propane bottles go into a covered plastic tub with other BBQ utensils.

I recently saw an attachment to fill the 1 pound bottles with the 35lb Tanks. Was a very cool little piece of eqiupment.

Been using this for the last four seasons, wonderful portable grill.

Also use the cordura carry case and store it in the front of the AS next to the dinette, propane stores in the bumper slide-out.

I just noticed the folding legs on the new style Companion, should make it a little easier to store.

The attachment for the 1lb bottle to be filled is sold at Harbor Freight.

We keep our Magma grill in its cavas bag under the bed. No smell, but we do clean it well after use.
