Also  FWIW ---- Ontario Provincial Parks are now begging campers to take
those  disposable propane containers home for local disposal --- because it
costs  $2.50 each for the park to dispose of them. Pretty shocking when the
things  only cost about 3 bucks each.

I ALWAYS take MINE back with me 'cause I refill  them myself with the cutesty
little adapter I got from Harbour Freight.   Now, I am just about to get rid
of using them altogether by installing a second  propane tank and 10' hose
connection to propane powered objects outside the van,  maybe even my Black Cat
heater in the van if and when I decide how best to bring  the hose up through
the floor.
