> Hi volks,
things change and some others  do not!

back in the 60ies, (I guess some of us are old), i bought a primus "set"
made in sweden: heater, lamp and range...they came with   2�pound cylinders.
After several fillings I got tired of paying and bought myself an adapter to
a 10 or 20 pounders and  also adapter to refill. the 2� had a valve to get
the air and  gas out and everything came out a fraction of the price..yes,
watch for your fingers: cold...  now, I read that some of you are refilling
one pounders, non refillables? but,  are there one pounder refillables?
the heater that I still have (primus) looks very much as Mr heater ...did
somebody buy one of these at ace for 99.$ I saw then for 49.$ on
northerntool.com? anyway(s), I have used the primus for more than 30 years,
but never for a long period of time in the van  or tent, and with a window
opened! good sleeping bags can save your life? but I am ready to try to
refill again the one pouders! live dangerously!
