Thank you Dear Jesus for taking my sins upon you, on the cross.

What was wrong with single use, fully recyclable cylinders?

The Flame King system works fine, if your buying a new system maybe look at the the Mister Heater. I'd buy by price. With the Mr. Heater you have to use their tanks, Flame King can refill the other tanks, Coleman etc. The plastic stem that protrudes from the Flame King fitting can easily fall out (don't know how that happened) to allow regular bottles to be refilled, not so with the metal stem on the Mr. Heater.

What about the oil???

I just bought the Flame King kit 4 extra FK bottles. I kinda wished I had viewed this video first as I would have went with the Mr. Heater Fuel Keg Kit. I agree, the metal purge valve is better than the plastic one and the Fuel Keg is easier to purge air from with the attached ring key vs. an allen wrench. The other thing I am disappointed with in the Flame King is the tanks are made overseas.

Good info .thanks

It seems the Fuel Keg is the way to go. Anyone know if one can fill these one pound can from a 500 gallon propane tank that came with my house?

What is the stainless steel cylinder attached to the propane tank?

Pro and Cons. Mr Heater stand I like it's compatability but to short, must have a over hang, having to pick up a 20lb cylinder much higher more problematic if full. While Flame King stand is high enough to use at ground level when 20lb is full. The cylinder valve idea I like on MH but can be potential problem if accidentally gets turned or kids messing with them *(just learned something new the valve switch only functions while refilling the cylinder). While FK is having to keep up with an allen wrench but valve is more scure, but can still be refilled without it just can't fill to max full. For me I got the FK because the kit was on clearance for $15.⁰⁰ and got the last four extra cylinders for $6.&Chng each, plus another 20% off all is why economically I went with FK. Been refilling used coleman cylinders for years using a simple adapter and a pair of 45 degree forceps to pull the pressure valve open to get max fill. There's pros and cons to just about everything. The choice is in your hands choose wisely grasshopper.

Also, these older 1 lb propane tanks have a safety factor which covers a slight overfill. Look it up.

What's your idea of "long term"? Would be cool if that was clearly defined. 2 months? 6 months? 1 year?

These are way over priced def not worth $1,099 for only 2200 watts.

Ours is brand new. Did all that. Won’t start

Nice video

Awesome information! Thanks for the heads up!

Great info!

Crap. I have the flame king and didn't know the Fuel Keg existed. Now I want the Fuel Keg

Excellent video. Thanks

On the fuel keg, when full and the white mist is venting, close the vent first, then close the lever valve on the adapter. This sequence per the instructions.

If they wanted consumers to recycle they should reconsider the $18 price tag on each canister. I guess they have a specific consumer base in mind.

What is your refrigerator model?

its an idea bulb, you have to have an idea for it to work obvi

This is certainly _e pluribus unum._ There are hundreds of backup lights for sale. But with one like this, you may not even know that the power is out till the battery runs out and you are in the dark.

@3:42 "It can stay on for 5 hours". Companies routinely lie. Please let it run on its battery, and time how long until it goes out. Also staying "on" can mean that it is still producing light at 5% of normal. But it is "on". Please test it, and see if "on" means 5 hours of sustained lumens, or gradually diminishing lumens. After 1 hour, is it still the same brightness? How about after 3 hours, etc? Also, all batteries die. At some point, they can no longer be recharged, just like having to replace your car's battery. As batteries age, they can often still supply full power, but for shorter time periods. So how many years will that battery last? The box does not say. In 5 years, will it still stay on for 5 hours? It will probably last, maybe, 1 hour. It is an excellent bulb for countless people. When your home loses power, having that light stay on, even if only long enough for you to safely get a flashlight, is great. But that would mean that you would have to keep that light on 24/7. I would prefer a light that turns on when it detects a power loss. Still, I could see a good use for the bulb in this video. But I am interested in the battery's capabilities, as I will not trust the 5 hour claim.

I have had these for a few years now. This is nothing new. The only cavate is that the terminals needs to be shorted in order for it to light up using the battery...at least for the ones that I have, which is a different brand.

Wow I may have to pick up a few of these, last week we had a power outage and it was out for 3 days.

That's a cute idea. In my case however, I had already found a different option that solves essentially the same problem. What I did was buy some "rechargeable" USB powered LED light strips. I then permanently hook those LED light strips up to a USB "charger" (although sometimes the "charger" is built into my wall outlet). This results in the light running on USB/wall power normally, and on its builtin battery reserve when the wall power goes out. As an added bonus, the light strips I use have an "auto" (motion sensing) feature that will handle turning the light on and off as needed. This "auto" feature is especially handy in areas where you only need the light some of the time (for example, its very handy to have the light automatically come on when you step onto the basement's staircase, so you don't trip down those stairs in the dark).

No. It will not. Unless you live in a cardboard box with three lights and a box fan.

Problem is those guys that go out10/12 miles on the ice that little ring gets hooked on everything. In the next thing you know you’re losing Propane. I really like flame king. They haven’t let me down yet.😎

Good content

4:27 for an old HAT.

One thing to note is they can't be used in multi-socket fixtures. No ceiling fans with multiple lights or other fixtures with more than one light socket on the same switch. When used in those type fixtures, the bulb will light when the switch is in the off position. They only work properly when used in a single socket fixture such as a lamp or single bulb ceiling fixture.

Nice video and info.

Stand is the cats meow !

Thank you sir!!!

You finished off the gas when running it with fuel shut off. It was pointless to "drain the carburetor" since all you did was drain the hose going out the bottom, air came from the carburetor when you unscrewed the drain screw, which allowed the hose to drain.

This was a very informative video 😊

I see it this way; I bought a fuel keg which is approved for refill for everyday consumption. I augment this with purchased 1lb propane bottles when I need a few more for travel. I have a refill adapter for the Coleman propane bottle if I need it for a significant emergency situation and the bottle I am using is relatively new and I follow all general best practice guidelines. I don’t recommend everyday refilling of the Coleman bottles which is playing roulette. I see that option as a last resort.

Replace cheap ones periodically and not refill indoors would be the common sense approach…. This seems as a product commercial and sure enough the Amozone has the mentioned products readily available.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for your introduction this refilling item, I chose the fuel keg brand

Peak design and Mountain House is way better

You have a great sense of humor, important in the stressful days that we are living in. Great video!!! 😀

I refilled the disposables for a few years. Eventually the fitting would get rusty and not seal to my stove, or the valve would start leaking a little. It just became a hassle. Not to mention needing a temperature differential between the 20# and the empty. Flame King came along and I haven’t looked back since. And I have piece of mind that I’m being as safe as I reasonably can be.

So can i refill a Fuel Keg at my nearby tractor supply or do i need their special nozzle thingy?

Fuel Keg, hands down.

The guy may have been filling his 1-pound propane tank in his garage with the garage doors closed which may have caused some of the escaping propane gas to ignite from a spark such as static electricity. Additionally, the 1-pound propane cylinders also have a pressure release valve which should have prevented the propane tank from exploding, right?
