I use that adapter all the time.... Had to fill a couple 1lb tanks today to remove excess propane from a overfilled 30lb tank that Costco generously filled
CDN Tire has a five pounder for $55. I used to use a 10 pounder ice fishing at it was great but then they expire and unusable. I wish they could be inspected and their life extended.Buy yourself a 10 lb tank goes a long way and a lot cheaper than the 1 pounders
Your local propane dealer will often refurbish tanks for you. Not much cheaper than buying new, but you can get it done.CDN Tire has a five pounder for $55.

Only if your nervous about refilling, or don’t want to haul a bulk tank!
I’ve been refilling 1lb tanks myself for about 15 years now without a single issue. It makes these heaters the cheapest possible way to provide heat, besides using free firewood.
Are you refilling the green non-refillable canisters...like Coleman brand?
If so, that is not recommended and actually illegal. Transport Canada talks about it on their website.
Most guys refill the green cans. It might be illegal and not recommended, but so is doing 130 on the 401. The speeding generally ends in disaster far more often than refilling green cans.And evybody can agree that it's cheaper not to go to princess auto... those carts get full of extra really fast

Flame King sells proper 1lb re-fillable canisters that have a bleeder valve for filling, proper valving and safety etc. They are the only ones you are allowed to transport. They are pricey but gotta pay to play.
I use 4 Flame King re-fillable canisters to empty out the last 1-4 lbs of propane left in the 10lber at end of season because they charge you a flat rate to fill 10lb'er instead of by the pound. The Flame King canisters are awesome for the task.
