Disposable propane canisters like the dark green ones used with camping stoves will soon be phased out in California, after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation Sunday requiring all one-pound cylinders sold in the state to be reusable or refillable starting in 2028. The portable fuel canisters, sold by brands like Coleman and Bernzomatic, are popular with campers but have long been a headache for park rangers as they sometimes end up littering campgrounds and dumpsters in state parks after hikers head home.

Out of control government is out of control.
Words escape me......
I don’t know who is worse than Newsom, the Nazis, the Commies or the Aunt Teefers.
Expect to see pound and a half cylinders in stores soon.
The Dems are all about freedom... freedom to have an abortion, freedom to do drugs, freedom to be a sexual deviant, freedom to crap on the sidewalk.
But freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion, freedom to go camping and cook with a freakin’ Coleman propane grill...? Eh, not so much.
I recall when these CA morons designed a new “safe” gas can....Gak
It was the stupidest most aggravating product ever produced. We were convinced CA hired former acid heads to engineer them.
Damn far left bass turd politicians are out of control. Who is the biggest threat to democracy, freedom and liberty. The ban everything, far-left, turd rolling Dung Beetles or the GOOBers who can’t find their asses with both hands and aren’t a threat to anyone?
Umm, aren’t those cylinders refillable?
I’m stocking up now!
Seriously, somebody should open the old “outlet” stores in Primm, but have them focus on selling harmless items that are banned in California. Light bulbs, propane, etc.
Child trafficking going strong. Newsom is demonic.
focus on selling harmless items that are banned in California. Light bulbs, propane, etc.???
???
That is my suggestion to my girl
“Umm, aren’t those cylinders refillable?”
They can be refilled, but there’s no provision for doing so under the current retail sale scheme. Sports Basement has a scheme where they are refilled, others might, but Big Five, Ace Hardware, Walmart, etc., do not. Use ‘em once and toss ‘em.
California is a one party Dem state that continually interferes with the way people want to live. Motor voter laws and ballot harvesting have made impossible to get Republicans in office. Newsome and Harris have made each year worse. State deficit is $53 Billion. And the Dems wanted to pass Reparations which balloon the Deficit to $300 B+.
They absolutely are, and I have done so many times.
I was reading today that a bunch of “reparations” freeloaders are also demanding that all the land taken away from them is returned to them with the “reparations” checks. What land are those freeloading jackasses talking about? Anybody know? LOL! Didn’t the commie libs build welfare offices on all of the old “plantations”?

Why stock up, those disposable are $5 a lb or more at Wal-Mart next to parks they are $12 or more each. It’s 80 cents per lb at Uhaul or tractor supply. Even a swap for a 20# tank at Wal-Mart then refilled into a refillable is $1.2 a lb. You can get 20# tanks at Wal-Mart for $19 then Amazon the refill tool for $6 your first tank refill pays the tool off.
Better yet get a refillable 5# tank from bass pros and ditch the little tanks all together. The 5# are fiberglass they are backpack light and translucent so you can see the fuel level. One 5# lasts more than a 3 day weekend using it for a portable grill, 24” griddle , and two burner stove.
It’s like disposable alkaline batteries vs rechargeable you absolutely will save money over the life span of the product. It’s literally throwing money away to use those green cans. For those that.refuse to refill themselves REI and most sports and camping stores will do.swaps of refillable one lb propane tanks for less than the cost of a green tank too. Refilled tanks are superior technology in every way and they stop Aholes from littering them all over our parks which is a chronic problem.
Green tanks have no overfill cut off valve they cannot be refilled by federal law no retail store will refill them they must be recycled that’s it..The refillable kind do have overfill valves and can be user.filled perfectly safely. Those green ones will let you fill them past z80% then they will warm up and vent into what every space you have them like a trunk that’s a bad idea. I have little 4 oz refillable tanks perfect for propane culinary torches which is exactly what they are used for. A couple of 1 lb tanks from before I found a 5# tank which is perfect for a weekend camping it fits in the bottom of a 45 liter pack and is only 7 lbs full its composite not metal so super light by design. I have never had a green tank that was refilled and didn’t leak out of its cheap valve even half full by weight after a couple fills they simply we not designed to be refilled and to do so is a fire risk and will get you charges if you bring one on public transportation,or a ferry , train or ship it via the mail.
