Does anyone here fill them? I tried to order the adapter online but never found a site that would ship to Canada. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks.
I dont think your supposed to fill one pounders, that being said I know a few people who do and would do it myself if I used them more. The addapters I've seen used are all homemade contraptions, they dont look that hard to make. One thing to watch for is that sometimes the valve may not seat propperly after refilling, a good precaution to take is to store them screwed tightly to whatever gaget they are going to be used for.
Cabela's have them for about 14 or 16 bucks. Work great. Put your Ilb cannister in the freezer for about 20 minutes beforew you fill it and it works much better. As stated above you have to be carefull of any valves that are not perfect. Any rust or dirt, chuck them.

what type of bottles do you have? if you are trying to fill the green one pound disposables i can't help you. but if you have the blue ones from sweden i have the adapters for both male and female bottles. come to think of it they might work on the green bottles also. if you want them ship me a pm and i'll send them to you.

I bought mine from Cabela's. They ship to Canada no problem. All the one lb tanks I see in the stores run about $4.50 to $5.00 each. I use a lot of them each year in my hunting, camping, fishing pursuits. By the time I'd paid duty, shipping it cost me around $25.00. you only fill for 1 minute or a little less.
