Hi folks, I read the description of the refillable small propane tank. Also Alexa tells me there is something called a Mr. Heater propane tank refill adaptor for $14. Can folks talk a bit more about how these are used, and refilled, Are they $39 per tank or can you purchase one adaptor and a separate couple of tanks? I could not find the refill instructions but it sounds like it is do it yourself so is that do able from either a standard grill tank or even from my own westfalia tank? details appreciated. I’d love to move away from the disposable tanks.
